info on Nortel and Natural (DGIV working with both) Lucent Integrates Natural MicroSystems VoIP Products into its Gateway ============== Lucent has announced that it will integrate Natural MicroSystems' Alliance Generation (AG) voice and call processing products into its PacketStar ITS (Internet Telephony Server). The AG is a family of high capacity, DSP based multiprocessor boards for the development of telephony applications. The PacketStar ITS, when combined with the AG products, will enable the transmission of voice and fax over IP networks. The server can also utilize other system tools, including the ITS Service Access Manager and the ITS Administrative Manager, to enable users to manage and scale their networks to support multiple gateways and servers across the public network. In a separate announcement, Natural MicroSystems has announced the opening of subsidiaries in Tokyo and Beijing. From these locations, Natural MicroSystems will provide technical and business development support for the development of telecommunications solutions such as IP telephony, IP fax, SS7, and IVR systems.

The IP interface will be an optional upgrade for Meridian 1 customers with release 21 and higher software. Nortel expects the initial product offering to be an Intelligent Peripheral Equipment (IPE) solution that will support eight trunk ports per card. The product will include features that enable billing, system management, LCR and class of service tiers. In addition, the IP interface will be able to monitor an IP data network's traffic and automatically re-route calls to the PSTN if the data network becomes too congested. Nortel plans to target intranets for the deployment of the solution, as intranets offer better QoS and are more easily managed than the Internet. Product trials are planned for August. US Commercial availability is scheduled for January '99. Nortel nortel.com
