BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GSMA MOBILE
WORLD CONGRESS -- LSI Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today announced
the StarPro® SP2704S, a higher-speed version of the StarPro SP2704
media processor, enabling new levels of performance for networking
infrastructure equipment manufacturers. The production-qualified
family of SP2700 media processors, including the SP2704, SP2704S
and SP2716, offers a single platform for a wide range of
applications from enterprise to carrier-class media gateways,
servers and wireless base stations, and can scale to more than
3,000 simultaneous media gateway channels.
Based on the highly cycle-efficient StarCore™ SC3400e DSP core,
the SP2700 family of media processors provides more than twice the
processing capacity and consumes less power than competitive DSP
architectures. The increased frequency of the SP2704S coupled with
a cycle-efficient architecture allows for high-density media
processing, reducing the number of line cards and lowering power
consumption. All StarPro media and baseband processors are equipped
with embedded CPUs and integrated high-density memory that
eliminates the need for external memory in many applications.
"Wireless operators need powerful, highly scalable solutions to
handle the exploding demand for broadband and real-time video
services," said Will Strauss,
principal analyst, Forward Concepts. "The StarPro SP2704S media
processor enables networking and telecommunication OEMs to deploy
high-capacity, media-rich, any-to-any wireless services across the
network with minimum cost and risk."
As service providers move to a flatter, distributed network, the
fully programmable StarPro SP2704S enables new revenue-generating
services such as video conferencing and telepresence, premium
subscription video streaming, video ad insertion, and digital
signage by distributing cost-effective video processing power at
the edge of the network.
"Mobile Internet video is driving a massive shift in end-user
behavior that requires service providers to look at new ways to
monetize the content flowing through their network," said
Steve Vandris, media processor
product line director, Networking Components Division, LSI. "Along
with a robust set of software solutions, the SP2704S enables
service providers to offer a wide range of next-generation
applications and reduce their total cost of network ownership by
achieving high-density, optimal cost and power efficiency."
All LSI® StarPro media processors feature low-power process
technology and advanced packaging technology. They are shipped with
a comprehensive software development environment and an
industry-leading suite of proven DSP software including audio, data
and video codecs that are compliant with SVC, H.264, H.263 and
MPEG-4 protocols.
The LSI SP2704S and the sixteen core SP2716 media processors are
immediately available to networking OEMs and will be showcased in
hospitality suite AV64 at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Spain, February 14 to 17. The LSI stand is located
midway along the Avenue near the crosswalk between the Courtyard
and Hall 8 of the exhibition.
As part of a comprehensive Multicore Done Right™ approach, the
new LSI networking portfolio provides best-in-class solutions for
wireless infrastructure. Additional information about the LSI media
