Compaq and Intel Team to Deliver New Standards-Based Speech Server Platform for Service Provider and Enterprise Customers.Business Editors and High Tech Writers TECHSUMMIT 2001 LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 22, 2001 ProLiant Server and NetStructure Technology Enables Developers to Create Applications for Modular Packet-Based Networks Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking and Compaq Computer Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : CPQ CPQ Compaq CPQ Conseil du Patronat du Québec (Canada) CPQ Configure-Price-Quote CPQ Conseil de Presse du Québec (Québec Press Council, Canada) CPQ Companion Parrot Quarterly ) today announced the immediate availability of a fully integrated speech server platform that combines the Compaq's ProLiant(a) DL360 server and the Intel(R) NetStructure(TM) communications boards DM/V-A series. The platform, which is backed by the world-class Compaq Global Services organization, allows developers to build applications such as voice portals, speech-enabled Interactive Voice Response, unified messaging Having access to e-mail, voice mail and faxes via a common computer application or by telephone. For example, unified messaging may send faxes and digitized voice mail to a mail server that turns them into e-mail attachments. and conferencing for the service provider and enterprise market segments. With this platform, service providers and enterprise companies can deliver cost-effective enhanced customer service and support solutions that enable phone access to data and other information. For example, airline and travel industries can use this solution for use in checking flight arrivals and departures, and financial institutions can deploy the platform to access automated bank statements or check requests. "The combination of optimized industry-standard technology and support from Compaq and Intel provides a validated and tested platform for developing speech-enabled solutions for both the enterprise and service provider market segments," said Denis Wood Denis Wood is an artist, author, cartographer and a former professor of Design at North Carolina State University. Born in 1945, Wood grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, receiving a BA in English (in 1967) from then Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University). , director, New Markets ISSG ISSG Invasive Species Specialist Group (IUCN) ISSG In-Situ Steam Generation ISSG Information Strategy Steering Group ISSG Internet Services Study Group ISSG Illustrated Shipboard Shopping Guide ISSG Intelligence Support Steering Group Solutions and Strategy, Compaq Computer Corporation (company) Compaq Computer Corporation - The largest US manufacturer and vendor of IBM PC compatible personal computers and servers.

"Developers now have access to a market-leading speech platform that provides new ways to innovate while reducing costs and increasing customer value." By deploying the density-optimized Compaq ProLiant DL360 server for their speech server development and application platforms, customers receive the best-in-class management capabilities and high performance of ProLiant servers while maximizing space in their crowded data centers. Backed by support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services from Compaq Global Services, the platform provides flexible, high-density speech server solutions that can scale as customers' businesses grow. This speech server solution includes Continuous Speech Processing Speech processing is the study of speech signals and the processing methods of these signals. The signals are usually processed in a digital representation whereby speech processing can be seen as the intersection of digital signal processing and natural language processing. technology from Intel as the foundation for building high performance speech applications.

(2) (Commerce Service P provides developers with access to advanced barge-in, echo cancellation The elimination of an echo in a two-way voice transmission. Echo is created in the telephone company's central office switch when two-wire lines from the customer are converted to four-wire lines for backbone trunks. and speech detection features that are compatible with industry-leading speech recognition software from Nuance, Speechworks and Infotalk. Additionally, Intel offers consulting services, training, support tools and resource kits that enable developers to further accelerate development and deployment cycles. "We are pleased to work with companies like Compaq to enable and accelerate the development and deployment of open, standards-based speech applications in enterprises and the public network," said Tim Moynihan, director of product marketing for Intel's Telecommunications and Embedded Group. The new speech server platform is available immediately in 48 or 96 port configurations from Catalyst Telecom and Total Tec Systems. The platform is backed by Compaq's world-class service organization and includes a three-year limited warranty Limited warranty A warranty with certain conditions and limitations on the parts covered, type of damage covered, and/or time period for which the agreement is good. on all hardware components that guarantees on site service by next business day when a problem arises. There is also an extended Pre-Failure Warranty on the processors, memory and hard drives, as well as optional 24x7 support infrastructure services. Catalyst Telecom, an Intel master distributor and a Compaq authorized reseller will be distributing the speech server platform. The powerful combination of open standards Specifications for hardware and software that are developed by a standards organization or a consortium involved in supporting a standard. Available to the public for developing compliant products, open standards imply "open systems;" that an existing component in a system can be replaced communications boards from Intel incorporated into Compaq's state-of-the-art server platform enables us to offer our customers an application-ready platform that is supported by Compaq's world-class services," said Farrar Pittman, vice president, Catalyst Telecom, a division of ScanSource, Inc.. "This gives developers the freedom to concentrate on application development, allowing them to significantly reduce their time-to-market for deploying voice enabled business applications."
