Interesting speculative post from RB. By: jimee11 Reply To: None Friday, 11 Jun 1999 at 9:42 AM EDT Post # of 31736 ALL PLEASE READ -- Lucent announced a press release on 6/9/99 titled - "Lucent Technologies creates IP-based, personalized software application giving users ultimate control of their voice and data communications." @ lucent.com This article provides yet ANOTHER DOT to connect for us ... Why? The article discusses Lucent's creation of an IP multimedia application which will alllow consumers to "filter" voice data, multimedia, email, etc. This is important because users will be able to have "complete" control of a PERSONALIZED WEB PAGE to handle "who" and "when" someone can contact them. The software is called "MyNetWorks". "For example, a subscriber on her way to a meeting can use the e-Me to route an important call directly to her, while redirecting all other calls to her colleagues or into a messaging system. As a result, MyNetWorks empowers the user to be responsive to callers whether or not he or she is available. " Do you people remember last month when Lucent announced the allinace with netscape to create a "Web Portal" for handheld devices? Here is the reason why they want it. This software will completely utilize the lastest advances in Internet Telephony communications. Now, the software will be utilizing the Lucent Technology called "SoftSwitch". The technology allows for coverging network adoption. The software utilizes ... Java and CORBA ... What have I been saying about a Java JINI / Micro OS marriage? See it here ... Do you people remember when I posted about Lucents new Bell Lab project concerning Fiber Optic voice/data transmission with breakthrough speeds in the Terebits utilizing MicroWaves? Watch for the "SoftSwitch" to migrate into this "Microwave" arena ... What does this mean for e.Digital? HUGE MARKETS .............. Why? "MyNetWorks can also synchronize their database of contacts with personal digital assistants (PDAs), personal information management systems (PIMs), hand-held desktop management devices and network databases". "MyNetWorks also serves as a communications component to Lucent's Zingo portal, a gateway to the Internet designed to enable people on the move to access personalized information using a range of portable devices -- including wireless phones and hand-held PDAs. " Do you guys see the connections? Lucent developes the Web Portal for PDAs and embedded devices i.e. Cell Phones, etc. for people on the move to "personalize" their information communications .... e.Digital will provide the Micro OS .. IN ALL THESE PDAs, PMIs, etc. The information is in-front of us ... For all those who need a "PR" ... Its all out there .. if you piece it together ... it all makes sense ... I am so excited ... - J
