I suggest we all hang tight.
We didn't go to "0" which is Good.
We didn't reverse split which is good.
Now if someone could find the Doc and see what's going on for 1999 that would be good.
Here's more from InnoMedia...it's a little deep for me.
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- Jan. 5, 1999--
Pre-Configured Systems and Advanced Billing Capabilities Target
Growing Industry
InnoMedia, Inc. has expanded its InfoGate(TM) IP Telephony Gateway family of products with three turnkey solutions and optional billing software, designed to speed deployment of voice-over-IP to the prepaid calling card market. The company now offers single-node, two-node and 24-line systems loaded into pre-configured Pentium PCs, streamlining the network installation process.
"In providing reliable and highly-scalable VoIP turnkey systems, InnoMedia(TM) is able to accelerate the process of deploying a voice network and launching a prepaid business," said Jay Blazensky, Director of Marketing for InnoMedia. "We developed these three solutions for customers needing a simple and efficient means of connecting to a network and generating revenue."
Additionally, the company announces that it will offer advanced billing software that allows prepaid operators to apply unique billing plans with flexible call rating schemes based on the source and destination of a call, and the time of day or day of the week. "By providing our customers with real-time cutoff based on dollars or minutes expiration, we ensure the integrity of their service and increase their revenue," said Blazensky.
InnoMedia's billing solutions include the InfoGate Prepaid Billing 1000 software designed to support up to one thousand account users, and the InfoGate Prepaid Billing Professional software that can support an unlimited number of accounts. The two software packages are priced at $2995 and $9995 respectively and will be available in the first quarter of 1999.
The turnkey InfoGate system solutions are designed for companies selling prepaid calling card services, corporations seeking to lower long-distance costs and Internet Service Providers interested in expanding into voice services. The system level solutions include:
-- Pre-Configured Network Starter System ($21,500), a three-PC
package containing all the hardware and software required to
implement a two-node VoIP gateway. It includes two PCs configured
with InfoGate cards and gateway software, each supporting four
analog ports and expandable to 24 ports, plus a third PC with
InfoGate's Gatekeeper management system and associated database
software.
-- Pre-Configured Single Gateway System ($8,795), a one-gateway
solution designed to make it fast and easy to add nodes to an
existing VoIP network. It includes a four-port InfoGate card and
gateway software fully installed in a PC, with easy expansion up
to 24 ports.
-- 24-Line Turnkey Gateway Solution ($40,000), a pre-configured
system designed to connect to a T1 digital interface for
customers with high-density requirements. It includes six
InfoGate cards, each accommodating four ports, loaded into an
integrated rackmount PC system and bundled with a T1 channel
bank.
All Windows NT gateway systems include 233 MHz Intel Pentiums with 64MB memory, a 1.44MB floppy disk drive, a 2GB hard drive and a 32X CD-ROM drive in a heavy duty steel mini-tower chassis. A 10/100BaseT network interface, PCAnywhere32 for Remote Support and dual hot swappable 250W power supplies are also included. The Gatekeeper PC in the Network Starter System utilizes a 266 MHz Pentium II processor and expanded memory. Each of the system products will be available in the first quarter of 1999.
About InfoGate
The InfoGate system is a high-quality, low-cost voice-over-IP solution engineered to provide voice quality, reliability and scalability not previously available in an analog solution. The system architecture substantially lowers the costs of implementation, paving the way for faster penetration of VoIP in the marketplace.
Each InfoGate system is composed of a four-port ISA voice processing card plus Gateway and Gatekeeper software, all designed and manufactured by InnoMedia. The centralized gatekeeper eases management by maintaining a registry of every gateway, assigning PIN numbers, maintaining least-cost routing tables, keeping a complete call activity log, providing ODBC-compatible output to any standards-based database or third-party billing package to facilitate billing, and permitting software upgrades for all nodes to be performed at a central location.
Every system ships with a fully integrated Interactive Voice Response system with a powerful GUI to allow for complete customization, plus support for prepaid calling cards through ODBC-compatible call detail records and real-time cutoff based on minutes expiration.
The product's dynamic bandwidth allocation automatically adjusts audio parameters to optimize voice quality while maximizing the number of calls that can be supported over a limited bandwidth. Advanced packet loss recovery and echo cancellation techniques minimize latency and optimize voice quality. On-board dedicated DSPs ensure efficient speech processing while minimizing host CPU utilization, resulting in an increase in the number of boards that can be supported in a single system.
The system is H.323 compatible, allowing for future interoperability with third party gateway and client software suppliers. It supports redundancy at the Gatekeeper, gateway site and gateway card levels to eliminate any potential single point of failure.
The four-port InfoGate card and software sells for a list price of $3995. All InfoGate products are available through Tech Data. For more information, contact InnoMedia at 408/562-3535 or visit innomedia.com.
