MasterMind Technologies Launches AOS Announcement Server; IP Gateway Enhancement Successfully Completes Interoperability Testing With Multiple Vendors.Business Editors/Hi-Tech Writers WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2000 MasterMind Technologies (MMT MMT Million Metric Tons MMT Médecins Maîtres-Toile MMT Methadone Maintenance Treatment MMT Multiple Mirror Telescope MMT Mission Management Team (International Space Station) MMT Military Training Technology ) is pleased to announce the launch of AOS (Alternative Operator Services) Operator services provided by a third-party organization. See operator services. 1. AOS - /aws/ (East Coast), /ay-os/ (West Coast) A PDP-10 instruction that took any memory location and added 1 to it. Announcement Server, a new carrier-class enhancement to Voice over Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching protocol. (VoIP) networks. Commissioned and built as a complement to Hewlett Packard's OpenCall Multiservice Controller (OCMC OCMC Orthodox Christian Mission Center (Orthodox Christian Mission and Evangelism Organization) OCMC Organizational Communication Mini-Conference OCMC Open Call Multiservice Controller ), AOS Announcement Server provides advanced media services to extend the capabilities of VoIP service applications. The dynamic AOS dialog application delivers the first tier of IVR (Interactive Voice Response) An automated telephone information system that speaks to the caller with a combination of fixed voice menus and data extracted from databases in real time. services to the new networks, while also providing a scalable platform for launching more sophisticated enhanced-service applications. AOS Announcement Server was commissioned by Hewlett Packard and is offered in the HP product catalog. "Hewlett Packard is an industry leader in delivering innovative products to the new networks," MasterMind CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. Curtis Jones said. "Their commitment to the development of AOS Announcement Server helped bring to life an exciting and service-enriching VoIP infrastructure product." Built on MasterMind's proven MasterVox(TM) communication services platform, AOS carries with it the unparalleled flexibility and manageability of all MasterMind-designed products. "This is not just another `black box' solution," Jones commented. "AOS is fully customizable and, with the help of our award-winning Service Creation Environment, the customer is empowered to deploy unique and fully-customized enhanced services Enhanced service is service offered over commercial carrier transmission facilities used in interstate communications, that employs computer processing applications that act on the format, content, code, protocol, or similar aspects of the subscriber's transmitted information; ." Advances in new IP technologies, along with increased demand for enhanced services, have fueled the growth and convergence of voice and data services. Recent developments in gateway technology have advanced Voice-over IP networks from concept to industry norm. As Jones noted, AOS Announcement Server fills a critical technological void for many next-generation carriers. "AOS Announcement Server is well suited for forward-looking carriers that want to offer enhanced speech services across packet networks," Jones said. "It allows for rapid deployment of dynamic and flexible services." As part of the development process, MasterMind successfully completed interoperability The capability of two or more hardware devices or two or more software routines to work harmoniously together. For example, in an Ethernet network, display adapters, hubs, switches and routers from different vendors must conform to the Ethernet standard and interoperate with each other. testing of AOS Announcement Server with Hewlett-Packard's OCMC Gatekeeper In an H.323 IP telephony or video environment, a gatekeeper is a device that manages domains and provides call control. It is used to translate user names into IP addresses, to authenticate users and to manage network resources. , as well as gatekeepers and gateways from other major vendors, including Cisco and Ericsson. MasterMind Technologies MasterMind Technologies, an Inc. 500 company, provides signaling and service solutions to the new communications infrastructure marketplace - solutions that enable service providers to differentiate themselves from the competition by cost-effectively delivering high performance telephony and messaging services across the global spectrum of disparate telecom and data networks.
