What is the Cisco PVDM3-128U256 and what does it do?
The Cisco PVDM3-128U256 is a High-Density Packet Voice Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Module designed to upgrade your Cisco 1000 Series routers from 128-channel to 256-channel capacity. This module is optimized for voice and video support, enabling your router to handle more concurrent voice calls and rich-media applications with enhanced processing power compared to earlier PVDM generations.
What routers is the PVDM3-128U256 compatible with?
The PVDM3-128U256 is compatible with Cisco 1000 Series routers that feature PVDM3 slots on the motherboard. The Cisco 2900 and 3900 Series Integrated Services Routers provide 2 or 3 onboard PVDM3 slots depending on the platform, allowing you to install this module for capacity expansion. We recommend verifying your specific router model's slot availability before ordering—contact us today for compatibility confirmation.
How does the PVDM3-128U256 compare to the older PVDM2 modules?
The PVDM3-128U256 offers significantly higher density and processing power compared to legacy PVDM2 modules, supporting richer voice and video applications. While earlier PVDM2 modules topped out at 64 channels, the PVDM3 line provides substantially greater capacity and performance for modern unified communications. If you have existing PVDM2 modules, Cisco offers adapter modules for investment protection during your upgrade path.
What bandwidth does the PVDM3-128U256 provide to the router?
Each PVDM3 slot, including the PVDM3-128U256, connects back to the system architecture through a 2-Gbps aggregate link via the MGF (Media Gateway Fabric). This high-speed connection ensures sufficient bandwidth to support voice, video, and rich-media applications without bottlenecking your data router's performance.
Can I use the PVDM3-128U256 to upgrade my existing router infrastructure?
Yes, the PVDM3-128U256 is designed as a factory upgrade module that expands your router's voice and video capacity from 128 to 256 channels. Installation requires available PVDM3 slots on your Cisco 1000, 2900, or 3900 Series router. We offer complete installation support and compatibility verification—visit barcodesinc.com or contact us today to ensure your router meets the requirements.
Does the PVDM3-128U256 support power management features?
Yes, the PVDM3-128U256 supports power management through extensions similar to the Cisco EnergyWise framework, allowing your organization to reduce energy consumption across your network infrastructure. This feature helps optimize operational costs while maintaining full voice and video processing capabilities in your data router environment.
