Trinity Convergence and Global IP Sound Present Integrated VoIP Solution.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK Research Triangle Park, research, business, medical, and educational complex situated in central North Carolina. It has an area of 6,900 acres (2,795 hectares) and is 8 × 2 mi (13 × 3 km) in size. Named for the triangle formed by Duke Univ. , N.C. & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oct. 14, 2002 Trinity's VeriCall(TM) Now Demonstrates GIPS GIPS - /gips/ or /jips/ [Analogy with MIPS] Giga-Instructions per Second (or possibly "Gillions of Instructions per Second"; see gillion). In 1991, this was used of only a handful of highly parallel machines and one sequential processor built with Josephson devices. NetEQ(TM) And GIPS Enhanced G.711(TM) Products; Companies to Present Integrated VoIP Enabling Software to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Worldwide Trinity Convergence Inc. and Global IP Sound (GIPS) today announced a multi-pronged alliance. Under terms of the agreement, Trinity's VeriCall now demonstrates GIPS NetEQ and GIPS Enhanced G.711 voice processing The computerized handling of voice, which includes voice store and forward, voice response, voice recognition and text to speech technologies. products. In addition, each company will present the integrated VeriCall software to telecommunications equipment manufacturers worldwide. For OEMs seeking a comprehensive VoIP enabling solution with high-quality voice, the pre-integration of the Trinity and the Global IP Sound solutions enables reduced development time and cost. Through GIPS SoundWare technology, VeriCall-based enterprise and carrier IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. solutions can offer voice quality equal to or better than traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) The worldwide voice telephone network. Once only an analog system, the heart of most telephone networks today is all digital. In the U.S. voice systems, even in adverse network conditions of up to 30 percent packet loss. The pre-integrated Trinity/Global IP Sound solution is available immediately for licensing. Designed for multiple silicon devices, the initial combined solution supports Motorola's family of MSC (1) (MSC.Software Corporation, Santa Ana, CA, www.mscsoftware.com) Founded in 1963 by Richard H. MacNeal and Robert G. Schwendler, MSC is the world's largest provider of mechanical computer aided engineering (MCAE) strategies, simulation software and services. 810x Smart Networks processors. Commenting on the alliance, Global IP Sound 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. Gary Hermansen said, "Telecom equipment manufacturers are increasingly turning towards VoIP enabling software to facilitate product development. VeriCall is a marked departure from traditional solutions, providing an open architecture that allows OEMs to easily integrate proprietary intellectual property. This is significant for equipment makers, and therefore working with Trinity will enable Global IP Sound to extend its market presence worldwide." "A key to the widespread adoption of VoIP is the delivery of better than PSTN quality and robustness against packet loss, capabilities that Global IP Sound leads the market in," said Salim Bhatia, CEO, Trinity Convergence Inc. "VeriCall will always provide OEMs with a single point of access to the best VoIP software functionality available. The integration of GIPS NetEQ and GIPS Enhanced G.711 indicates to telecom equipment manufacturers the advantages they can continue to depend on from Trinity Convergence." About GIPS NetEQ and GIPS Enhanced G.711 GIPS NetEQ combines adaptive jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle buffer control and packet loss concealment Packet Loss Concealment (PLC) is a technique to mask the effects of packet loss in VoIP communications. Because the voice signal is sent as packets on a VoIP network, they may travel different routes to get to destination. in one product. Deployed on the receiver's end, it quickly adapts to changing network conditions to allow high speech quality with a minimum of buffering latency. GIPS Enhanced G.711, compatible with standard ITU-T See ITU. ITU-T - International Telecommunications Union G.711 packet streams, consists of the G.711 codec (1) (enCOder/DECoder) A hardware circuit that performs analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) conversion. When analog signals are entered into a computer, cellphone or other device via a microphone or video source such as VHS tape or analog TV, combined with an enhancement to provide packet loss robustness. Call setup is done with G.711 and the enhancement is detected and activated after call setup if both end points have the enhancement. The enhancement unit works similarly to an encryption method. The packets are transcoded to provide packet loss robustness instead of privacy. GIPS Enhanced G.711 in combination with NetEQ provides a PSTN speech quality level at packet loss/delay rates up to 10 percent. This is achieved without increasing the bit rate, and without significant increases in latency and complexity. About VeriCall Until now, telecom equipment OEMs seeking to outsource VoIP enabling software had two primary options: Source and integrate individual components themselves, or license commercially available solutions that were largely incomplete, closed, and loosely integrated. By offering the fundamental VoIP functions in a single, integrated solution, VeriCall reduces the time-to-market and cost challenges of designing enterprise and carrier-class equipment. Its distributed architecture employs a complete set of system controller, DSP (1) (Digital Signal Processor) A special-purpose CPU used for digital signal processing applications (see definition #2 below). It provides ultra-fast instruction sequences, such as shift and add, and multiply and add, which are commonly used in math-intensive and packet processor software resources. VeriCall's open architecture allows developers to easily integrate custom or third party algorithms, protocols, and control applications into the system. This unique capability allows OEMs to preserve their investment in their own intellectual property and differentiate themselves in the highly competitive VoIP equipment market. About Global IP Sound Global IP Sound develops embedded voice processing technologies for real-time communications on packet networks. GIPS SoundWare(TM) provides better than PSTN voice quality and fidelity in end-to-end IP communications A general term for networks that use the IP protocol for voice (VoIP) and video traffic. See IP telephony. with robustness against packet loss, even in degraded networks. Global IP Sound's world-renowned 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. and IP telephony experts deliver these solutions to Nortel Networks, Pingtel, Hotsip, and other VoIP providers. GIPS SoundWare is eXpressDSP(TM) certified by Texas Instruments. Global IP Sound is a member of the Intel(R) PCA (tool, programming) PCA - A dynamic analyser from DEC giving information on run-time performance and code use. Developer Network. Global IP Sound has offices in Stockholm, San Francisco, Boston and Austin. More information is available at www.globalipsound.com.
