ALOE Systems, a new identity of international telecom software specialist MERA Systems (News - Alert) and a developer and provider of VoIP management solutions such as carrier-grade softswitch, has revealed a new Functional Build for its RTU Class 4&5 application.

In its recently revealed RTU Class 4&5 Functional Build Version 1.5.3, Aloe Systems incorporates a number of improvements that it has seen fit to craft in order to bring about convergent systems provisioning. To assist its clients, ALOE Systems paid special attention to features adding to System flexibility in development of ITSP and corporate networks. Increasing System redundancy was also a core goal of the developers.

A key feature of Functional Build v.1.5.3 is a traffic switch—H.264 video codec support that permits the use of basic video calls. Protocol SIP-T/I support is also provided for transit calls. By doing so, ALOE Systems intends to allow for new opportunities for interaction with PSTN.

Another core feature of the company’s new Functional Build is a Traffic Manager. This feature incorporates new functionalities for increased and improved interoperability with RADIUS servers. This includes the possibility of customization of RADIUS accounting packets. A new flexible codec configuration mechanism is also provided. Additional settings that allow eased configuration of endpoints such as soft phones and gateways are also offered. Lastly, an interim CDRs mechanism, which allows users to save data to established calls during the event of a System failure, is also included.

A third core feature of Functional Build v.1.5.3 is RTU Class 5. “Televoting” functionality is offered, which allows the use of telephone networks to conduct surveys or polls. SIP registration is enabled for external servers. Three modes for fax sending— Superfine, Fine and Standard—are offered. Lastly, features such as Automatic Number Identification (ANI), anonymous call rejection and Calling Line Identification Restriction (CLIR) help increase security.
