Ascend Beefs Up Multivoice OS - InternetWeek Newsletter 9/10/98:

Ascend Communications Inc. next week will upgrade its remote access
concentrators by releasing a new OS that supports quality of service
(QoS), permits PC-to-phone communications and extends its operability to the Sun Solaris platform.

Version 7.0 of Ascend's Total Access OS also supports up to five classes of compressed voice over ATM as well as the delivery of voice over IP, voice over frame relay and fax over IP, according to Jose Garcia, Ascend's senior product manager. Finally, Garcia said, the app will serve as a foundation supporting the final phase of Ascend's multivoice platform strategy, which includes integration into SS7 carrier signaling networks.

The ultimate goal, said Garcia, is to provide carrier-class voice and
fax services that are optimized for data network requirements and
provide end-to-end call setup, management and accounting. Such
requirements would include capabilities for echo cancellation, silence
detection and service levels scaleable to millions of calls per hour, he said. By Chuck Moozakis
