RedBack Invites ISPs Into XDSL World November 27, 1998 RedBack Networks Inc. is encouraging smalland midsized Internet service providers to begin offering faster access via Digital Subscriber Line technology by setting up a national group of value-added resellers proficient in xDSL. "A lot of ISPs [Internet service providers] would like to get into offering [x]DSL service because they see it as a competitive advantage, but they don't know the first thing about it," says Mark Weiner, senior manager of channel and product marketing at RedBack redbacknetworks.com which makes subscriber management systems that work with xDSL technology to deliver service over copper phone lines. Value-added resellers (VARs) can provide not only xDSL expertise and equipment but also access to the copper circuits from local phone companies or from competitive local exchange carriers, Weiner says. Many of the initial VAR members of RedBack's PowerPartners program are authorized resellers of local phone company circuits, Weiner says. Under agreements with the telephone companies, the VARs can't discount the cost of the circuit, which means they must look for other ways to differentiate their service. Gaining xDSL expertise is one such way, Weiner says. "We want to grow this market, so we want to make it as easy as possible for as many ISPs to offer [x]DSL service," Weiner says. From the service provider perspective, faster access is likely to be a commodity service in another year to 18 months, he adds; ISPs that wait to jump on that bandwagon and develop their own value-added services may find themselves left behind. In addition to getting sales tools and training in xDSL networking and access requirements, PowerPartners get access to PowerSite, a set of Web pages that provides on-demand sales resources and technology background information, as well as interactive multimedia sales presentations. NORTEL ANNOUNCES SS7-IP INITIATIVE Continuing the feeding frenzy for Internet protocol network development, Nortel Networks [NT] is pushing a standardized signaling protocol and open network architecture that provides a new level of global access.

Dialogic Partners to Showcase Innovative Computer Telephony Applications for Global Communications Market at CTI Expo'98 December 2, 1998 PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)Over 25 Dialogic (Nasdaq:DLGC) partners will showcase a wide range of computer telephony (CT) solutions required to build open systems for the converging computing and telecom networks into the third millenium at the upcoming CTI Expo '98, Dec. 1-4, 1998, at the San Jose Convention Center, San Jose, Calif. The Dialogic demonstrations will center on the CT Server, highlighting four key technologies: CT Media, Internet Protocol (IP) Telephony, LAN Fax and CT-Connect. The Dialogic partner pavilion is located at booth No. 1008. Members of the press are welcome to attend all events and demonstrations listed below. Dialogic executives will be available throughout the show for one-on-one interviews. To schedule interviews, contact Erica Erickson at 973-993-3000, ext. 6876, or via email at e.erickson@dialogic.com. Keynote Address John Alfieri, president, Sales and Services, the Americas, Dialogic Corporation, will discuss the evolution of the computer telephony industry over the past decade from closed, proprietary applications toward an open systems model. Alfieri will describe the market forces driving the industry, outline where the new business and service opportunities exist and how the audience can best take advantage of the new opportunities emerging as CTI solutions adhere to hardware and more importantly, software standards. When: Wednesday, Dec. 2, 9-10 a.m. Where: San Jose Convention Center Dialogic Demonstrations The Dialogic demonstrations at CTI Expo will highlight four key technologies as part of or in the context of the CT Server. They include CT Media, IP Telephony, LAN Fax and CT-Connect. The Open CT Server A computer telephony server or CT Server is a communications server based on an open systems model. It provides connectivity and media processing services for multiple vendors' telecommunications, media processing and potentially other communications applications. The key differentiator of a CT server is that it enables choice of different vendors' software and hardware through its support for multiple standard, open distributed programming interfaces, including S.100 and TAPI. CT Server/CT Media CT Media computer telephony server software allows standards-based applications from multiple developers to interoperate on a single CT Server. The demonstration will highlight the platform's architecture and multi-application capabilities. Attendees will see how different applications can operate together to handle single calls, as well as how system management facilities can be used to configure open CT Servers to run open CT applications from ISVs. CT Server/IP Telephony The IP Telephony demonstration will showcase voice and T.38-compliant real-time fax over an IP network. Located in the Sun Microsystems booth (No. 1131 in the Dialogic Partner Pavilion), it will show a fully compliant H.323 IP telephony gateway configuration for use over the Internet or corporate Intranets. The Dialogic technologies being demonstrated allow users to add IP capabilities to CT Servers in a manner that is transparent to other applications existing on the servers, and with minimal development effort. CT Server/LAN Fax Designed to complement the interoperability available through standards-based CT Servers, Dialogic will demonstrate its easy-to-use software for the comprehensive CP product line under Windows NT. Booth visitors will have the opportunity to install the GammaLink Fax software and send a test fax, demonstrating that this is the easiest product to install, configure and use on the market today. CT Server/CT-Connect The fast-growing family of CT-Connect products increases developer and end-user options for building CT applications. CT-Connect(tm) V3.0 is a computer telephony call control software component capable of connecting a wide range of telephone switches to a variety of data processing environments. Booth visitors will see how to save training time and development efforts by using the new Enhanced Software Development Kit (ESDK) with a simplified API, Application Generator Wizard and ActiveX control. The demonstration will also feature CT-Connect Call Information Manager. Twenty-five Partners Participating The following Dialogic partners will be showcasing a variety of next generation applications at the Dialogic partner pavilion located at booth number 1008. -Alliance Systems -Ariel Systems Corporation -Array Telecom Inc. -Brooktrout Software -Buffalo International -CallManage Inc. -Castelle -CellIT -Force Computers -I-Bus -Info Zero Un -Intelliswitch Inc. -Interactive Intelligence -Nortel OpenSpeech -Nuance Communications -On-Hold Plus Inc. -Opalis Software -Parity Software -PRIMA -Registry Magic -SCO -Smallwonder!softworks -Sun MicroSystems -Syntellect Inc. -The CTI Authority/Catalyst Telecom Development Learning Center for S.100 Applications Dialogic and other members of the Enterprise Computer Telephony Forum (ECTF) are co-coordinating one of five free learning centers at this year's CTI Expo. The S.100 Applications Development Learning Center will demonstrate how, through the use of open APIs, developers can write programs directly to the servers and allow resources to be shared by multiple applications like PBXs, ACDs, predictive dialers and programmable switches. At this learning center, you will hear from several S.100 advocates currently implementing the standard in a variety of client/server applications. Learning Center participants include: ATIO Corporation (No. 216F), Dialogic Corporation (No. 216E), Lernout & Hauspie (No. 216G) ECTF (No. 216H), MediaSoft Telecom (No. 216C), Prima Telematic (No. 216D), Rockwell Electronic Commerce (No. 216B) and Syntellect Inc. (No. 216A). About Dialogic Corporation Dialogic Corporation is the leading manufacturer of high-performance, high-availability, standards-based computer telephony (CT) components.
