Embedded VoIP Modules

Arcturus embedded VoIP modules target a broad range of digital voice applications from push-to-call (PTC) and push-to-talk (PTT) intercom applications to multichannel Radio-over-IP (RoIP) and telephony equipment. Development kits include voice and management middleware packages, OS and tools. The modules include all major components, transceivers and power management ICs, allowing them to support most applications with minimal external circuitry. Arcturus modules meet stringent performance requirements and are suitable for operation in harsh environments. A full suite of services is available for support and customization.

Every module is individually tested and shipped with software pre-installed. Volume orders can have custom software preloaded, making final production integration simple.

System Solutions

Arcturus system solutions are bundled engagements designed for equipment manufacturers in key vertical markets. The solutions include specialized hardware, software, support and services for applications such as nurse call systems, school intercoms, fire/safety notification, building access control or mass-transit passenger/vehicle communications.

• Transportation – Vehicle, wayside, stations, airports
• Buildings – Notification, paging, security, fire, safety
• Healthcare – Nurse call, patient care, assisted living

Embedded middleware solutions enable core device functionality by creating a known sub-system with a defined API. This allows developers to focus on their core application instead of creating device management policies or media signaling conformance.

Management Middleware

Arcturus Management Middleware is an application framework suitable for creating, deploying and maintaining embedded devices. It uses database objects to represent system parameters, statistics, variables and settings and contains internal policies that control the way changes are applied to the running device. The middleware is a fully integrated software solution including:

• Secure webUI with complete HTML
• Secure Remote Provisioning
• Command Line Management Client, XML Client, Kernel API, SNMP Agent
• Firmware Management, Failover and Watchdog Recovery Protection

Voice and Media Middleware

Arcturus Voice and Media Middleware is an embedded application framework for the creation of multi-service, voice-centric devices. It supports several concurrent modes of operation and scales efficiently from single to multi-channel. The middleware is a complete software solution suitable for various applications including:

• Full Duplex Digital Intercoms and VoIP End-Points
• Push-to-Call, Click-to-Call and PTT
• Multichannel IP Convergence and Radio-Over-IP
• Mass Notification, Overhead Paging and Background Music
• Speaker Independent Speech Recognition for Voice Control
