Worldwide Computer Telephony Market
FEBRUARY 24, 2000
HANNOVER, GERMANY--
DIVA Server Voice to Offer Complete Support for Convergence of
Voice, Remote Access, Fax and Unified Messaging Applications.
CeBIT 2000 (Hall 15, Stand A14) - Addressing the growing corporate
market for Voice over IP telephony, Eicon Technology Corporation
today announced the first public display of its DIVA Server Voice
ISDN cards. DIVA Server Voice solutions are the first, true open
communications platform, managing all voice, data, wireless, email
and fax messages on a single server, helping to reduce corporate
communications costs.
Visitors to Eicon's booth will be able to call others using an
IP-based telephone through a DIVA Server Voice 4BRI-powered
solution using DIVA Server VoIP Gateway software and Ansid's
complementary Calina Gatekeeper software. These two software
solutions are designed for optimal performance with each other.
Eicon's DIVA Server Voice 4BRI, DIVA Server Voice T1/PRI (US) and
DIVA Server Voice PRI (Europe) address the full-range of
communications needs, from the small to medium-sized business, all
the way up to the large corporation. These cards use Eicon's DIVA
Server VoIP Gateway software to manage all VoIP calls in an ISDN
environment, connecting a company's IP telephony calls with the
traditional PSTN telephony world.
"The release of our DIVA Server Voice cards has us well positioned
to take advantage of the rapidly growing worldwide market for
Voice over IP solutions," said Maks Wulkan, Executive Vice
President, Eicon Technology. "By addressing all of a company's
communications needs with a single product, Eicon is helping to
ease the voice and data convergence needs of the enterprise,
leading to reduced costs of doing business."
To ensure easy interoperability with compatible solutions, Eicon's
DIVA Server Voice cards support open industry standards for voice,
such as H.323, G.165 for echo cancellation, G.711 and G.723.1 for
voice compression, Real Time Protocol and Jitter Buffering. In
addition, DIVA Server Voice cards support multinational ISDN
protocols and are compatible with more international ISDN switches
than any other solution.
Cahners In-Stat Group predicts worldwide VoIP gateway sales will
reach $3.7 billion by the end of 2003.
