>>1.John W. Edwards said, "MiBridge has rapidly built a successful business by creating an OEM-type relationship with some impressive industry partners. We will continue to support and improve these partnerships - operationally and technologically. We will also utilize MiBridge technologies to further I-Link's technology direction of targeting user needs and delivering services that reduce communications costs and enhance communications capabilities while preserving traditional ease-of-use, quality, and reliability."
MiBridge President Dror Nahumi, 35, will assume the role of Vice President of Engineering for I-Link. Prior to founding MiBridge in March 1996, Nahumi served as a consultant to Bell Labs in New Jersey. While there, Nahumi designed speech compression algorithms to represent AT&T; in voice, data, and cellular standards competitions. The speech coding algorithm he designed for the cellular standard was selected to be deployed in the CDMA cellular network in North America.
According to Nahumi, "This merger allows MiBridge to implement its technologies in the fastest possible way. Because I-Link markets communications services, we will receive immediate user-centered feedback that will help us better define and develop our technologies. This will help us best reach our potential of creating major improvements in the way people communicate."
MiBridge, a leader in Voice-over-IP (Internet Protocol) technologies, currently employs 10 engineers and developers, most of whom previously worked for Lucent Technologies or Israeli-based telecommunications companies. Their primary fields of expertise are in speech compression, fax and modem technology, and system engineering.
MiBridge technology includes advancements in three fields: compression technologies, voice conferencing, and data integration. With compression technologies, MiBridge is able to determine data type, which allows for more efficient routing and compression. With voice conferencing, MiBridge offers high-quality conferencing of compressed digital signals as well as support for many types of communications devices. With data integration, MiBridge facilitates integration of various types of data and networks. According to Medcross officials, the MiBridge technology strengthens I-Link's ability to not only better use its own patent-pending technology for allowing stand-alone telephones and fax-machines to utilize Internet Protocol, but to allow I-Link to more quickly adapt to customer technology demands.
MiBridge licenses its technology solutions to communication technology and service vendors. MiBridge customers and partners include some of the leading communications companies in the world.
I-Link is a new kind of communications company delivering services that reduce costs while preserving traditional reliability and enhancing functionality. By utilizing both traditional telecommunications networks and deploying its own intranet communication network and patent-pending technology, I-Link will be able to more effectively deliver traditional and emerging communications services.
