Voice Processing Platform

The Brooktrout Technology TR1000™ is a standards-based, board-level voice/fax processing platform specifically designed to support a broad array of speech, IVR, messaging, conferencing, and fax applications. Ranging from 2 to 60 channels per board, the performance and flexibility of this feature-rich media platform allows systems to scale in both density and functionality to meet the current and evolving needs of advanced enterprise and service provider applications.

The TR1000 platform integrates sophisticated DSPs, embedded microprocessors, analog, BRI or T1/E1/PRI interfaces, and software within a common hardware and software architecture, and is specifically designed to support multiple, scalable services and a seamless migration path within the entire product family. For example, in speech recognition functions, the TR1000’s voice activity detector (VAD) can reduce CPU utilization by 30%, and bus traffic by 80%, through its intelligent pre-filtering of noise and silence. The TR1000 is available in a variety of Universal PCI configurations, providing a single high-performance telephony solution across the complete range of system densities and network types.

TR1000 software is specifically designed to address the performance, scale and robustness requirements of mission-critical systems. Optimized drivers and firmware minimize host CPU loading, freeing precious host resources for use by demanding applications. The TR1000 platform supports leading operating systems—Windows, Linux and Solaris—to address the unique requirements of specific applications and deployment environments.

Development Environment

Brooktrout Technology’s Application Programming Interface (API) for the TR1000 provides high and low-level access to a comprehensive suite of functional components, including Media Processing, Call Control, Call Progress, Conferencing, and Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OA&M). An Enhanced Call Control interface reduces complex telephony programming to a small number of simple commands that are common to all network signaling types—analog, ISDN and channel-associated signaling. For more complex or specialized applications, complementary low-level APIs provide comprehensive facilities for call control and signaling, performance statistics monitoring, and call management.

Even applications based on third-party or standards-based APIs (such as VoiceXML and SALT) can benefit from the TR1000 platform’s best-of-breed media processing functionality; the TR1000 is available as an integrated component within a growing list of third-party development tools and platforms.
