Intel agreed to buy closely held DataKinetics for an undisclosed
amount of cash, giving the largest computer chipmaker the ability to control, create and link voice-based Internet services and telephone networks.
Intel said the purchase will add products that allow Internet-based phone calls, access to Web sites using voice commands and Internet-based messaging.
DataKinetics' products, which are used with technology from Intel's Dialogic subsidiary, will combine Intel's voice and data communications networking.
DataKinetics, founded in 1992, is based in Fordingbridge, England, and sells its products in more than 40 countries. Dialogic is a reseller of DataKinetics' products.
Intel, based in Santa Clara, California, last week agreed to buy closely held programming software maker Trillium Digital Systems for about $300 million in cash and stock. |
