The Cisco PVDM2-8 is a voice and fax module, designed to enhance the communication functionality of a Cisco router. This module is part of the PVDM2 series, which is known for its flexibility and scalability in handling voice and fax processing tasks. The PVDM2-8 supports up to 8 channels of G.711 voice activity or 4 channels of G.729/G.723.1 compression-based codecs.
It is intended for use primarily on Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) such as the Cisco 2800 and 3800 series. Whether for small or growing offices, this high-performance DSP (Digital Signal Processor)-based module provides businesses with the ability to manage multiple voice calls efficiently. The module has been designed with VoIP functionality in mind, helping to minimise voice communication costs by efficiently handling IP-based voice communications.
PVDM2-8 is also used in conjunction with Cisco IOS software to implement features such as conferencing, transcoding, and voice termination tasks. This allows it to cater to different communication needs, including fax-over-IP solutions, voicemail systems, and voice trunking alongside traditional PSTN connections. The module is manufactured from reliable, high-quality components, delivering consistent Cisco-level performance.
Its compact form factor ensures easy installation while maximising space within supported routers. The flexibility of the PVDM2-8 makes it possible to upgrade or expand communication setups simply by adding more voice channels as needed, preventing the overhead of equipment replacement or complex reconfigurations.
