Full Story »On the road to VON.x and Digium|Asterisk World
March 14, 2008This next week is going to be a busy one with the re-monikered "VON.x" (what was wrong with VON?), and Digium|Asterisk World all at the same time and under the same roof. I've been invited to speak at five different sessions in both events, so you may see me running from one end of the building to the other during the week.
Where you can catch up with me during the show:
Tuesday, March 18th
1:30 pm: Digium|Asterisk World Theater – Building Reliable SIP Solutions using Digium|Asterisk (Part I)
2:30pm -3:00 pm: VONDEX Theater – Taking SIP from the Lab to the Bank
4:15 pm: Digium|Asterisk World Room A7 – The Strategic Purpose of Open Source (panel)
Weak dollar harming economy - not in Buffalo
March 13, 2008This story is about unintended consequences - most notably how the weak US Dollar affects those of us that live on the border with Canada.
This last week has been particularly difficult for those of us who are frequent travelers out of the Buffalo Airport. It's seems the perfect storm has hit the Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and it really messed up my travel plans earlier this week:
Fios - $1,000 per household - not even close!
March 4, 2008As I mentioned in my last post, Verizon has started installing Fios down our street. It's fascinating process to see how the contractor buries the conduit that will eventually carry the fibreoptic cable all the way down the street and to each home.
You can see in this photo looking across the street just one of the excavators, trucks and other heavy equipment the contractors are using to do the installation.
Fios - $1,000 per household?
February 28, 2008After it seems like an eternity of waiting, Verizon is finally starting the process to install Fios on my street. They have most of my home town of Orchard Park, NY strung with fiberoptic cable from pole to pole, but those of us that are serviced by underground cables were last in line.
Anyhow, now I understand why Verizon plans on spending an average of $1,000 per household to install Fios. First all the utility companies (gas, water, telephone, cable...) all have to mark/flag their lines.
Lessons learned from the Blu-ray vs. HD DVD battle
February 20, 2008Thankfully the battle is now over between the competing high-definition DVD formats and Sony's Blu-ray format is the victor. Fortunately, this played out a lot faster than the Beta/VHS battle that lasted through most of the 80's (BTW: to this day, I still have one of each in my AV cabinet) Settling the Blu-ray / HD-DVD battle will end much of the consumer confusion and let us get back to spending our "economic stimulus" checks when they arrive later this summer.
Now that this is behind us, what can we learn from this?
More Fax Webinar Q&A
February 6, 2008Another great turnout for today's two webinars on "Fax - SIP+T.38 to the Rescue", thanks everyone for participating.
And more great questions:
Q: (Brian) a slide showed FAX machine - T.38 gateway - T.38 Gateway - FAX Machine. I was under the impression that once a FAX was converted into T.38 It coudlnt be changed back into a audio FAX call.
A: Actually, a fax can be converted to T.38 and back no problem or loss of information.
Fax Webinar - Q&A
February 1, 2008Thanks again to all those that participated in the Webinar titled "Fax - SIP+T.38 to the Rescue" we held a few weeks ago. As noted in a previous blog post, it was a very busy webinar. You can listen to the on-demand recording of the webinar at: http://www.tmcnet.com/webinar/audiocodes5/
As noted on the webinar, we had run out of time and were unable to get to all the great questions posed by the attendees.
Fax - SIP+T.38 to the Rescue!
January 18, 2008After yesterday's webinar on fax, I'm overwhelmed.
When we were developing the plans and presentation materials for yesterdays webinar titled "Fax - SIP+T.38 to the Rescue", our expectations were that a few "fax gurus" would join in and we would have a small very focused 20 - 30 person session on a rather deep dark secret of the industry.
AudioCodes Global Partner Conference
January 15, 2008This last week was very successful and action packed week for a number of our partners, AudioCodes staff and myself at the AudioCodes Global Channel Partner Meeting. The event brought together 220 of the leading AudioCodes global channels, leading ISV partners and key AudioCodes executives for two days of introductions, information sharing and a little socializing beautiful and historical Jerusalem.
