Egypt Telecom Partners with Digitcom Corporation to Handle IP Long Distance Phone Traffic
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitcom Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: DGIV - news) and Telecom Egypt have signed a memorandum of understanding to join in installation and marketing of Internet Protocol long distance telephone service commencing between Egypt and the United States, to expand to other markets in the future. The planned venture will join Telecom Egypt and Digital Long Distance Corporation, a subsidiary of Digitcom, in a revenue sharing arrangement or the formation of a joint stock company.
''Telecom Egypt was attracted by IP telephony's ability to increase the capacity of existing infrastructure at a very low cost,'' explained Jimmy Chin, Digitcom CEO. ''Our IntraVoice technology can leverage the significant investment they have made recently in a major modernization of their switched network. And, Telecom Egypt gains a marketing partner in the U.S. which can help increase the revenue traffic that now flows between our countries.''
There is currently approximately 110 Million minutes of long distance in the bilateral market, retailing for between $.90 to $1.40 in the United States, and US$2.20 to Egyptian customers. Digitcom's affiliated network will market telephone and fax traffic to DLD Egypt's gateway service.
''Telecom Egypt, as the National telephone company, is an important strategic partner, opening the Middle East for Digitcom,'' Chin said. ''Egypt's is the largest market in the region. And, we're excited about their commitment to advanced telecommunications technologies as they prepare for privatization and the competition that comes with deregulation.''
The MOU provides for the purchase and installation of Digitcom's IntraVoice CO equipment required by the venture.

Digitcom Selects Natural MicroSystems Platform for Pacific Rim IP-Phone Gateways
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Digitcom Corporation (OTC Bullet Board: DGIV) announced today that it has chosen Natural MicroSystems' 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 Fusion platform meets these needs with a high performance product,'' observed Jimmy Chin, Digitcom CEO. ''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,'' Chin said.
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 service, video conferencing and multimedia transmission for customers. Scheduled installations will make use of a dedicated 1.5Mbps T1 circuit, with the U.S. termination gateway housed on a Northern Telecom DSM-250 phone switch. Rigorous testing of all voice, switching, and administration systems will precede commercial launch of VoIP service to the public.
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.
