Cisco PVDM3-16

The Cisco PVDM3-16 is a high-density digital signal processor (DSP) module that is used in Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) and Cisco Voice Gateways. It is designed to provide hardware acceleration for voice and video applications, such as voice over IP (VoIP) and video conferencing. The PVDM3-16 module supports up to 16 channels of voice and video processing, allowing for simultaneous voice and video calls. It is compatible with various codecs and protocols, including G.711, G.729a, G.722, H.264, and others. By offloading the processing tasks to the PVDM3-16 module, the router or gateway can handle a higher volume of voice and video traffic, ensuring better call quality and overall performance. It is commonly used in enterprise networks, service provider environments, and other deployments where voice and video communication is critical.
