Bill This is the part I like,DEC is a big Player all over the world,I would also think that even though CPQ has picked some smaller players for the software that Voclf may be in the running for the Gateways.
FROM CNET:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
While considered a leader in IP telephony products,
analysts say that prior to the deal with Digital,
VocalTec was lacking the large sales and installation
force competitors have, including Lucent and Cisco.
"[Partnering with Digital] is very critical for
VocalTec if it wants to play in the same game" as
Lucent and Cisco, said Daniel Briere, president of
TeleChoice, a communications consultancy. "They
have to have arrangements like this to ensure that
[their products are installed] in carrier class
networks," he said.
In the last six months, VocalTec has announced and
begun shipping a set of sophisticated "gateway"
products that translate voice conversations into
Internet data along with the control software
necessary to centrally manage such networks.
For Now This is good,Very soon I believe we will see the major clients come up that DEC is going to support and sold to. |
