Description
The AudioCodes M1KB-VM-MPM is the Media Processing Module (MPM) for the Mediant 1000B modular VoIP gateway. It adds dedicated DSP (digital signal processor) hardware resources to the chassis, expanding the platform's capacity for media-intensive functions such as transcoding between voice codecs, conference bridging, and high-session-density call handling. When the Mediant 1000B base platform's media processing capacity is a limiting factor, the MPM is the hardware answer.
The Telecom Spot Take
Media processing is one of the most resource-intensive functions in VoIP gateways. Transcoding between G.711 and G.729, running conference bridges, or handling tone detection at high call volumes all draw heavily on DSP resources. The M1KB-VM-MPM gives the Mediant 1000B additional hardware DSP headroom, allowing the platform to scale up media-heavy workloads without performance degradation. For contact centers running mixed codec environments, enterprises with heavy conferencing requirements, or service providers bridging disparate VoIP networks, this module is the upgrade that prevents media processing from becoming a bottleneck. Consult AudioCodes capacity documentation to determine the right number of MPM modules for your session load.
