AudioCodes Keynote

May 15, 2007

Sharone Ben-Levi of AudioCodes kicks off the day's keynote at the Communications Developer show today in Santa Clara, CA.

The theme of the keynote is how communications is evolving and how telecom today has much shorter development times. Moreover having SIP on a resume is much better than a proprietary API. In addition your company is better off with SIP development in case a developer leaves you.

GIPS News

May 15, 2007
Global IP Solutions, the company formerly known as Global IP Sound is well known as the company providing VoiceEngine technology. Their products enable communications for millions of users each day as their technology is found in Skype, WebEx and others.
 
Today at the Communications Developer Conference the company announced a new version of one of their their VoIP embedded media processing solutions. The new product is called VoiceEngine Multimedia Lite and according to Matt Benkoil, the GIPs development community director, it combines the power and performance of GIPS VoiceEngine with high quality video conferencing support.
 
I am actually working pretty early for California and this news comes to me in the form of a press release so I am not able to ask the company any questions. If I could I would ask what makes the software “lite.” I would imagine the software perhaps has less functionality and takes less processing power than the regular version of the product.
 
If/when I find out more I will update this post.

Aculab Supports PCI Express

May 15, 2007
Some developer news of note is Aculab’s move to have the Prosody X DSP resource board support the PCI Express bus. This is not unexpected of course as this new bus is becoming more popular. Announced here in Santa Clara at TMC’s Communications Developer Conference there is also a promotional package being introduced which the company tells me consists of the following:
 
Product – Two Prosody X PCIe media processing cards, each supporting 300 voice channels and 2 E1/T1 trunks, with CSS/CAS/SS7 protocols.

Training – One delegate placement on a one day training course ‘Implementing VoIP applications with Prosody X’.  Courses will be onsite in Aculab’s offices in Milton Keynes, UK and Needham, USA.

Technical consultancy – Benefit from an Aculab consultant spending a day onsite in your office – sharing expertise on structuring solution architectures based on Prosody X and helping with the actual application development and testing.

Technical support – Free and unlimited access to Aculab’s technical support.

Functionality – Access to Aculab’s complete portfolio of media processing and signaling software, including SIP, H.323 and SS7, with an unrestricted number of channels.

Software updates – Free future software updates, including the planned roadmap functionality for IP and 3G mobile video support, wideband voice codecs, etc.
 
So the news here is a bit about the new bus support but perhaps most importantly the development package meant to sweeten the pot.
