This reminds me of when I did R&D in CTI with voice T1/E1's and TDM (Time 
Division Multiplexing). There was a whole industry of PC circuit board 
manufacturers that would take TDM in from the PSTN, demultiplex the DS0’s, send 
them over a shared bus like the H.100 CT bus to other boards and you could 
program the channels and time slots via API to do different things like audio 
conferencing, signal processing, speech recognition, tone detection, least cost 
routing, etc. then remux them back out. Dialogic was one of the biggest 
companies, still around. And there were many custom board manufacturers...

The voice telephony network was the first and is one of the largest worldwide 
networks and it's real-time, GI to GI, GI to AI, any-to-any. There is 
multiplexing throughout the whole thing, in fact it is one giant massive 
hierarchy of multiplexors.

Now much of that custom processing on the edges of the network are host media 
over IP, media servers with SIP/RTP protocols. So you have the newer crop of 
companies like Twilio, Bandwidth, ThinQ, Inteliquent, etc..
