# TB16

![Photo of the TB16 blade](https://docs.telcobridges.com/w/images/1/19/TB16-blade-photo.jpg) The TelcoBridges’ system-on-a-blade™ product line has the reliability, flexibility and superior performance to replace any 8 to 16 trunk telecom system with a single blade. It is a cost-effective and superior entry-level solution for lower density system requirements and provides an easy introduction to the complete TB System-Blade™ product line through its common [API](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/api/toolpack-api/README.md). Thus it gives system integrators the flexibility to address different market needs with a single platform product.

The TelcoBridges’ System-Blade™ single platform architecture allows you to build new telecommunication applications, and easily upgrade existing ones, to meet today’s requirements for reliability, flexibility and superior performance. The TB-16 System-Blade™ allows you to run multiple and different signaling stacks and trunk types on the same blade. Starting at 8 trunks it can be effortlessly upgraded to 16 trunks. Plus it supports [IVR](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/reference/concepts/ivr/README.md) functions on all channels. All elements, such as signaling variants and trunk types (E1, T1, J1), can be dynamically configured to create a highly available system with amazing performance capabilities.

The TB-16 System-Blade™ can be easily coupled with [TB StreamServer](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/operations/tb-streamserver/README.md)™ for superior prompts and file playback and record capability.

**Special note:** TelcoBridges also offers the [TB8](https://github.com/telcobridges-main/tmedia-wiki/tree/main/tmedia/platforms/tb8/README.md) system blade for smaller scale requirements (up to 8 T1/E1/J1s) as well as the higher capacity [TB640](https://telcobridges.com/products/development-platforms-tdev/) which supports up to 64 T1/E1/J1 interfaces as well as DS-3 and STM-1 connections.
