OMG! PART-I DGIV has chosen Natural MicroSystems'(NMSS) Fusion(TM) platform for a five-country rollout of the Digitcom IP telephony Network. The company has scheduled installation of its "IntraVoice" voice-over-IP (VoIP) gateways in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and Australia, with U.S. termination in Los Angeles. Testing of the leased-line VoIP network will occur from late August through September with commercial service slated to launch immediately thereafter. "Our network requirements included easy scalability and support of international standard protocols." "The Digitcom Network is engineered to deliver a variety of very demanding IP and Intranet telecommunications services for our customers. "We're convinced that Natural MicroSystems will be a valuable partner in the development of these advanced value-added technologies," Fusion's scalable architecture allows expansion to the highest port capacity gateway available today. The Digitcom Network will offer users high-quality voice- and fax-over-IP, and global voice messaging. Products planned include enterprise- level "Intranet" IP phone services video conferencing and multimedia transmission for customers. Natural MicroSystems' Fusion development platform allows for IP-phone gateways that can grow from 8 ports to multiple T1s/E1s with no increase in latency or decrease in performance. This means that from the smallest four simultaneous conversation configuration, Fusion's scalable architecture allows expansion to the highest port capacity gateway available today. Full use of a T1 connection will accommodate 192 simultaneous conversations. System expansion to handle thousands of calls is possible with this architecture. Fusion 2.0 supports the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) H.323 standard, providing interoperability with other standards-compliant IP telephony clients and gateways from other vendors. CAN YOU SAY INTEROPERABILITY! Digitcom engineers have been developing proprietary software for Natural MicroSystems' NT-based platform since late 1996. Digitcom is a leader in Internet voice communications technology. I won't even start on this til tomorrow! Thanks, Jimmy Chin.
