Connected Systems is First to Add VoIP to Integrated Voice Processing Systems; Unique hybrid configuration heralds a new level ofintegration and cost-effectiveness September 22, 1998 NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE) via NewsEdge Corporation -- The brand new world of integrated voice processing systems has advanced again. Supplanting the traditional PC systems of a year ago, the first fully integrated voice mail and Voice-over-IP gateway systems have arrived. In booth 557 at the Computer Telephony Demo/Expo in the Javits Center in New York City, Connected Systems showcases its award-winning open-standards SimpliCT voice processing product line. Connected Systems has taken SimpliCT a step further by integrating Voice-over-IP gateway capability. By adding VoIP to the ubiquitous SimpliCT voice processing platform, Connected Systems has enabled its OEM customers to extend their solutions into the voice networking arena. "An OEM's SimpliCT purchase can now be leveraged into a VoIP product, " explains Anthony Bladon, executive vice president of Connected Systems. "Use of our field-proven products solves the three biggest " get-it-to-market" headaches for a VoIP gateway: PBX integrations, worldwide homologations, and user expectations of free internet calling! Low cost IP trunks for the small PBX are finally within reach." In booth 557, in the first-ever demonstration of VoIP on a SimpliCT base, Connected Systems' partner VSR debuts their iPBX Gateway. This system provides 2-4 ports of low-cost H.323 compliant VoIP and integrates to over 150 PBXs. VSR's gatekeeper functions reside on the same SimpliCT unit, eliminating the need for a separate server.
