Multi-Tech announces patented low cost DSVD telephony modem.MOUNDS VIEW, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 1995--Multi-Tech Systems Inc., a leading data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. technology company, has announced an external low cost V.32bis telephony version of its patented Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data (communications) Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data - (DSVD) A technique supported by some modems for multiplexing compressed speech with digital data for transmission over a normal telephone line. (DSVD (Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data) An all-digital technology for concurrent voice and data (SVD) transmission over a single analog telephone line. The DSVD V. ) MultiModemPCS line (United States Patent Number 5452289). In addition to supporting DSVD simultaneous voice and data See SVD. operation, the new MT1432PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. 2 will also support telephony operations such as telephone answering machine (TAM) and DTMF (Dual-Tone MultiFrequency) The type of audio signals that are generated when you press the buttons on a touch-tone telephone. See also DMTF. DTMF - Dual Tone Multi Frequency tone detection. The new modem comes with MultiExpressPCS voice mail software that determines whether calls are voice, data, or fax and turns on the appropriate software to handle the call. The fax and data software can be Multi-Tech's bundled MultiExpress software or can be any industry standard Class 1 fax or data communications software. The MT1432PCS2 will start shipping in December at a price of $249 U.S. "In addition to the bundled voice enabling software, the MT1432PCS2 supports standard IS-101 AT+V commands for voice control so it will operate with commercially available answering machine software," states Raghu Sharma, president of Multi-Tech Systems Inc. "The features of our newest MultiModemPCS make it ideal for Windows 95 telephony operations, in addition to adding the power and versatility of simultaneous voice and data to normal modem communications. We've seen substantial growth in applications for DSVD modems since we started shipping them over three years ago. This newest model of our MultiModemPCS line is for those applications that need to combine small or moderate data volumes with voice conversations. In the case of the MultiModemPCS, the voice is added simultaneously with the data transfer. There is no need to switch between voice and data which causes a break in the continuity of the conversation." The MultiModemPCS (model MT1432PCS2) and MultiExpressPCS software (model MEPCS) combine to create a complete data, voice, and fax communications tool by adding voice processing in two different ways to a normal modem's functions. First, the PCS's patented "Talk Anytime" feature provides a Simultaneous Voice and Data mode (SVD (Simultaneous Voice and Data) The concurrent transmission of voice and data by modem over a single analog telephone line. The first SVD technologies on the market were Multi-Tech's MSP, Radish's VoiceView, AT&T's VoiceSpan and the all-digital DSVD, endorsed by ), which means you can talk to the person on the other end of the modem link while you are sending/receiving data. Talk Anytime is a hardware feature that is independent of the communications software and will work with any communications software running on any computer. In addition to its DSVD capability, the MultiModemPCS works with MultiExpressPCS software to automatically receive data, fax, or voice calls on a single phone line automatically. When a call comes in, MultiExpressPCS determines the type of call and, depending on whether it's a fax, data, or voice transfer, launches the appropriate software via its Virtual Modem driver. For fax and data calls, any communications software that works with the standard Windows communications driver can be used (MultiExpress and MultiExpressFax are included) and for voice calls, MultiExpressPCS turns the PC into an answering machine.
