Advantech has unveiled the FWA-2310E, its first converged application platform (CAP) based on the Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel QuickAssist Technology. The company says the platform design is cost-effective, providing telephony, video and data capabilities required by Network Equipment Manufacturers and Integrators to address the growing needs of service providers and enterprise users alike.

The FWA-2310E runs soft DSP algorithms for voice compression and echo cancellation on analogue calls coming in on FXS/FXO interfaces. Using the Intel Accelerated DSP Solution and Intel Performance Primitive libraries, DSP algorithms execute directly on the Intel architecture core with enough capacity for a complete SMB multi-service business gateway solution.

The SOC also includes integrated security acceleration capabilities allowing the company to consolidate what was previously a six chip solution into a single device. In addition, by facilitating E1/T1, Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet and GPON connectivity, the FWA-2310E is designed with converged telephony and security applications in mind. It also provides all the enabling hardware required for functions such as voice switching, enterprise routing, firewall and VPN support all in a single, multi-function device.
