Dialogic announced that their Diva Media Processing Boards will support Asterisk. Because most of the Diva Media Boards have powerful Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) onboard and can move processor-intensive, low-level tasks to these DSPs, significant reductions in server CPU load are possible especially when used in an Asterisk based systems.

With the release of the chan_dialogicdiva channel driver, Dialogic is now offering active support for the Asterisk environment through its line of Diva Media Boards, along with an associated Starter Kit program.

Other functions handled by the Diva Media Boards include DTMF recognition/generation, pulse detection, tone detection/generation, fax detection, echo cancellation, and multi-party conferencing. The Diva Media Boards can make conference up to 120 active callers without causing load on the CPU. Some of the Diva Media boards’ signaling features include worldwide support of protocols and services, including most Q-SIG flavors and Signaling System 7.
