MetroPLUS Update
NP Energy Corporation is pleased to announce that its telecommunications
arm, MCC MetroPLUS Communications Corp. is aggressively developing its
Internet Telephone IP Gateway that will allow the Company to route calls
over the internet at a substantial savings.
Customers using the MetroPLUS network will be able to pay one flat rate
for unlimited long-distance calling between points on the system.
Initially, MetroPLUS will be starting in the Lower Mainland of British
Columbia.
The Internet is a worldwide network of computer networks. Computers can
send messages to each other via the Internet (E-mail is the most
familiar example). However, audio can also be digitized and passed
between computers just like any other data type. In fact, many Web
sites are now sound-enabled.
The MetroPLUS IP Telephony Gateway uses the Internet to send audio
between two telephones in real time, so the users can converse. These
gateways are the key to bringing IP telephony into the mainstream. By
bridging the traditional circuit-switched telephony world with the
Internet, gateways offer the advantages of IP telephony to the most
common, cheapest, most mobile and easiest-to-use terminal in the world -
the standard telephone.
MetroPLUS is projecting completion of the new network by September 1,
1999. Further progress on these exciting ventures will be forthcoming.
