RADVISION Announces New Gateway for Encrypted Videoconferencing Applications.Business Editors C4B C4B Computers for Business Tradeshow WASHINGTON & GLEN ROCK Glen Rock, borough (1990 pop. 10,883), Bergen co., NE N.J., a residential suburb of New York City; settled c.1710, inc. 1896. George Washington's army used the area for camping grounds during the Revolutionary War. , N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2003 Highly Scalable, Easy to Administer Gateway Features New Interfaces For Support and Integration With Encryption Devices RADVISION (Nasdaq: RVSN RVSN Radvision (stock symbol) RVSN Recorded Volume Serial Number (Veritas) RVSN Raketnye Voiska Strategicheskogo Naznacheniya (Russian strategic rocket forces) ) today announced its new viaIP(TM) gw-S40 gateway, designed for the federal and military markets. Based on RADVISION's rich experience in building videoconferencing gateways, the new viaIP gw-S40 gateway, which will be available by the end of September, 2003, provides all the IP features and functionality of RADVISION's industry leading viaIP gateway with the additional features of four serial interfaces for connecting packet-based video conferencing See videoconferencing. (communications) video conferencing - A discussion between two or more groups of people who are in different places but can see and hear each other using electronic communications. networks over serial connections. These serial interfaces enable connection to encryption devices, which are common in federal and military applications where high-quality videoconferencing is required over encrypted communication channels. In addition to serial interfaces, users also receive industry-leading packet handling, advanced call functionality, and integrated network A network that supports both data and voice and/or different networking protocols. See converged network and new public network. resource management, enabling feature-rich, high-quality secured video conferencing among remote sites, regardless of the device or network protocol used at each location. "The RADVISION viaIP gw-S40 gateway is a powerful solution for the rapidly growing rich-media communications needs of the federal/military market," said Eli Doron, Chief Technology Officer of RADVISION. "Many government installations worldwide have already chosen RADVISION for their video network infrastructure due to our solution's support of any end point (meeting room, desktop, field laptop) and any protocol (H.320, H.323, SIP), over any network (IP, ISDN ISDN in full Integrated Services Digital Network Digital telecommunications network that operates over standard copper telephone wires or other media. , xDSL, satellite, leased lines) and any media (voice, video, data). Now, with our viaIP gw-S40 gateway and its full support of all the serial interfaces necessary to fully interoperate with common encryption devices such as KIV-7 and KG-194 platforms, we are delivering the power of the RADVISION viaIP solution to secure encrypted applications as well." "Building on the success of our secure OnLAN-based V.35 solution, we are pleased to now support even more functionality for secure communications through our viaIP platform and architecture, delivering enhanced quality and features in a robust, integrated, feature-rich solution," Doron continued. Support for Loss Of Synchronization (LOS) Signal: For encryption devices equipped with LOS input, the viaIP gw-S40 gateway supports real-time automatic initiation of the encryption devices' synchronization when informed by the video end point about problems in video quality. This waives the need for the user to manually trigger encryption device synchronization, enhancing user experience. Supported Serial Interfaces/Signaling Protocols: The viaIP gw-S40 gateway supports a wide variety of serial protocols and cables, providing direct connectivity to encryption devices used in the field today. Serial protocols supported include: V.35, RS-449, EIA-530 and RS366 for signaling. Available cables include standard cables and dedicated cables for interfacing with specific encryption devices. Density: The viaIP gw-S40 gateway features four serial interfaces, enabling up to four simultaneous calls, each up to 1.92 Mbps. viaIP gw-S40 gateways can be distributed over the packet-based network or centralized in a few locations. Up to four viaIP gw-S40 gateway cards can be installed in a single (2U) viaIP400 chassis, providing up to 16 serial interfaces. The viaIP gw-S40 gateway is based on RADVISION's latest gateway release v2.0. Notable features in the release include: Best-in-Class Call Quality -- Enhanced variable delay packet handling, enabling high call quality in an IP environment -- Support for Tandberg's Duo Video for rich media calls -- Advanced video codecs, H.263 and H.263+ and H.263++, which are new specifications developed to increase video quality in a videoconferencing session. -- Support for G.722 and G.722.1 wideband audio codec (1) A hardware circuit that converts analog voice into PCM or ADPCM digital code and vice versa. The term may refer to only the A/D and D/A conversion, or it may include the compression technique for further reducing the signal (definition #2 below). See sampling and codec. 7Khz of spectrum for best-in-class audio quality -- Supported video resolutions: CIF (1) (Common Intermediate Format) A standard video format used in videoconferencing. CIF formats are defined by their resolution, and standards both above and below the original resolution have been established. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). , 4CIF, VGA (Video Graphics Array) The display standard for the PC. All PC display adapters support VGA, and Windows machines boot up in "VGA mode" before switching to higher resolutions. , SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. , XGA (EXtended Graphics Array) A screen resolution of 1,024x768 pixels. The term stems from IBM's XGA display standard introduced in 1990, which extended VGA to 132-column text and interlaced 1,024x768x256 resolution. XGA-2 later added non-interlaced 1,024x768x64K. , and NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries. Both the committee and the standard are called "NTSC. modes -- Support for 30 frame per second and 60 fields per second Intelligent Management of Communications -- Support for rerouting of IP calls to other gateways when busy Centralized and Easy-To-Use Management -- Embedded web server Web server software embedded within a hardware device such as a print server. It is widely used in a myriad of devices, because it allows access to the software via any Web browser, typically for configuring the device or obtaining reports.
