Low cost & high quality MELPe vocoder device

[Appollo]

We are looking for a low-cost standalone board or device that implements
the MELPe vocoder at all 3 rates (2400/1200/600 bits/ses). The solution
must be of high quality and reliable. It has to be also easy to use
and user friendly, and easy to connect to a network or a channel.
Cheers,
AM

Compandent offers low-cost Data-Terminal Equipment (DTE) for interfacing
vocoders (such as MELPe) with external Data Communication Equipment
(DCE) such as modems or crypto devices. For example, Compandent’s
Flexible-Link for EXternal Instrument using RS-232 (FLEXI-232) is a
low-cost card that can be used as DTE connected to various external
devices such as modems or crypto device using RS-232 or other protocols.
It is easy to use, just plug-and-play, and comes with optional
Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch for your convenience. The FLEXI-232 board,
may be mounted to DSK board (such as the DSK5416, DSK5510, DSK6416 and
the OMAP) or PC-104 DSP board that runs vocoders such as MELPe, G729,
G723.1, etc.. The FLEXI-232 is an extremely versatile board that can be
programmed to handle any required standard or customized communication
protocol (beyond what a typical DSP may be capable of) including
MIL-STD-188-114, RS-232, RS-422, RS-423, USB, TCP-IP Ethernet, 802.11b/g
Wireless, etc.. It also has user friendly control and set-up interface.
