Heather Howland Speaks

Here at the Dialogic Analyst Day at Yankee Stadium we are listening to a presentation by RIM/Ascendent Systems Senior Manager of Marketing Heather Howland.

I have known Heather for years but have never heard her speak to an audience. This is an impressive presentation.

She started by telling us a bit about her company's mobile unified communications solutions and how Dialogic HMP solutions enabled them to deliver their products to market.

She also explained a bit about the Dialogic Media Gateway the DMG 2000 and how this device integrates with the BES to converge voice and data with any PBX.

Howland finished by saying the Dialogic partnership has been great and enabled her company to accomplish a great deal.

I am looking forward to day two of this conference which starts tomorrow morning.

New TMCnet Record and New Writer

Thanks to our readers -- once again, TMCnet has hit a new record. In this case, we built a Global Online Community in conjunction with Interactive Intelligence and this community generated just under 600,000 page views in one month according to Webtrends, a company which measures web traffic.

As you might imagine, this is a staggering number of pages to be viewed in a month and after TMCnet, this number represents the most page views in a month out of all competitive sites worldwide. This is according to third party web measurement sites like Quantcast.

In other words a single community built on TMCnet outproduced any other single competitive site in total.

As I have promised before, as we grow we will ensure the quantity and quality of TMCnet articles and as such we recently added Rick Bye as a columnist. He wrote his first piece last week in fact.

Bye is a senior segment marketing manager with Zarlink and is responsible for leading the company’s residential gateway and consumer voice products development. He has 21 years experience in the semiconductor industry, holding strategic leadership positions with Texas Instruments, Broadcom and most recently, D2 Technologies

Expect Bye to cover the evolution of broadband.

This is in addition to Bob Emmerson who was also recently added as TMCnet European Editor.

As always we appreciate our sponsors, readers and I personally appreciate the TMC team who keeps all of our properties humming on all cylinders.

Dialogic Analyst/Media Day

Today I head to New York City for a Dialogic Press and Analyst day. We will be having a function this evening in Yankee Stadium which should be lots of fun. Many people have asked me to bring them some blades of grass -- which makes me wonder if there is a market for this stuff on eBay.

No time to check now... My train is about to leave. ;)

Photos to come.

iPhone Denial of Service Vulnerability

Radware today discovered the iPhone Safari browser is vulnerable to denial of service attack. The specific model being tested was the Apple iPhone1.1.4.

In order to experience this problem a user must browse to a website containing malicious Javascript code. Once there, the code can trip up the browser and iPhone -- making it crash.

According to Radware, the Apple iPhone Safari browser is vulnerable to DoS attacks due to a design flaw that may be triggered by a series of memory allocation operations on the dynamic memory pool, which in turn triggers a bug in the garbage collector. The security hole is currently unpatched, leaving iPhone owners vulnerable to potential attacks until Apple issues a security update.

Assuming virus writers decide to exploit such security holes we may run into a situation where handheld device makers will have to ensure their devices have enough memory to handle endless security patches. Just as laptop and desktop computers get slower over time due to endless security program updates, internet connected gadgets will likely have similar issues.

In such a scenario, the winners will be the security software writers and gadget makers as users will likely be forced to upgrade their devices on a regular basis to ensure their handheld computers are responsive.

Fonality Trixbox 2.0 Launches

According to Chris Lyman, the Founder and CEO of Fonality, the brand new Trixbox 2.0 is the "look mom, no hands, reseller version."

In fact, the company is doing its best to make sure resellers have to touch these phone systems less and less. Lyman tells me the beta of 2.0 has been out for a few weeks and this release signifies the company's renewed focus on the reseller market.

Lyman tells me candidly that resellers are their future and they are thrilled to have their margins double by selling software systems like those supplied by Fonality.

Some added features in this release are sophisticated, presence-enabled find-me, follow-me, with remote features such as call control and record.

In addition there is E1 and BRI autodetect. Think of this as the wizard-based approach to open-source communications.

So how do you upgrade? As Lyman explains, the data center gets the new version of the software and you get it the next time you log in. Of course this is one of the benefits of the hybrid-hosted model Lyman espouses.

Lyman goes into much more detail about the latest Trixbox/Fonality news and even explains why companies should be cautious when upgrading to VoIP. To get the details, check out this podcast interview I had with Chris Lyman which should answer every question you had but were afraid to ask yourself.
