HelloSoft announces its VoIP technology is ready for Passive Optical Network. The PON, which can carry all three types of traffic natively in packet form over a single fiber connection from the central office to the customer premises, is a perfect platform for launching packet-based VoIP service. VoPON is based on the universal standards-based SIP signaling protocol. It is the only protocol that can scale for multimedia services and future integration with IMS wireless networks. Carriers that deploy HelloSoft VoIP therefore gain a range of options for leveraging their investment and generating new revenue streams. HelloSoft is keeping up the pace by launching its VoIP for PON initiative.

AltiGen Communications has entered into a master distribution agreement with Boport Tele-Communication BV, a leading distributor of communications products and services in the Benelux countries -- Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

Boport will offer AltiGen's complete line of VoIP business phone systems, including branch office, enterprise and call center solutions, to its own reseller channel via sub-distributors for telecommunications and IT. In addition, Boport will offer its channel partners specialized sales, marketing and technical training in order to quickly ramp-up and support new AltiGen resellers.

Switched on firms are saving themselves thousands of pounds a year by using the latest technology to cut the cost of everything from utility bills to telephone calls.

And as well as saving money, many of the recent new technologies developed for the business community can also help reduce energy consumption according to Jim Venables, Managing Director of leading online office broker, officebroker.com which works with 97% of the UK’s serviced office space providers and landlords.

Some of the recent technologies now being employed by the business community include:

The Show Me State must allow VoIP technology to develop and flourish throughout the state without regulatory interference, said the Institute for Policy Innovation in testimony to the Missouri legislature today.

VoIP is a compelling application which will encourage economic advancement, job creation and income growth as it is a "better, cheaper, and faster" vehicle for voice communications.

"These sorts of technology innovations are the prime drivers of economic growth because they increase productivity of businesses and enterprises large and small," said IPI President Tom Giovanetti.

Missouri must resist the urge to regulate. The Missouri Public Utilities Commission is showing a strong inclination toward regulation of the VoIP market, and throughout the recent report from the VoIP Task Force, the Commission expresses distrust in markets and competition.

As vendors and service providers worldwide look to maximise revenues, the lack of common remote management capability across all access technologies is a major stumbling block as they look to lower management complexities, minimise truck rolls and introduce new revenue generating services.

The DSL Forum has taken steps to resolve this problem with the approval of Technical Report 142 “Framework for TR-069 enabled PON and fibre related devices”. Developed by the Forum’s DSLHome Technical Working Group, TR-142 defines how Auto-Configuration Servers in the network can remotely configure, troubleshoot and manage a Passive Optical Network optical network termination with layer 3 capabilities using the Forum’s existing CPE LAN management protocol, TR-069.

Radware has joined the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) VoIP Technology Consortium. As a member of this consortium, Radware will be able to test its VoIP and SIP-enabled products in terms of compliance, interoperability, and quality.

Radware's decision to adhere to the UNL-IOL's VoIP consortium is based on its observations of the carrier market. With the arrival of next generation convergence applications, the carrier market is offering new SIP-based services, creating new opportunities for users to collaborate and exchange information. Additionally, as the global use of SIP adoption increases in carrier access, applications and trunking, it creates a need for vendors and system integrators to provide carriers and operators with solutions supporting carrier-grade requirements. This imposes a great burden on application and system development not typically addressed in the product scope but left to be handled in the system integration phase. As a result, Radware is focusing its efforts on expanding its product offering to fulfill these needs.
