Octasic Announces Mass Customization Program at ITEXPO for Vocallo Media GatewayBy Tim Gray, TMCnet Web Editor Media processing solutions firm Octasic (News - Alert) announced at the INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference & EXPO West 2008 in Los Angeles a program that provides technology and licensing options to carrier infrastructure and enterprise equipment manufacturers looking to design the right products with the right price points to ensure competitiveness in a maturing VoIP market.
The program, One Design, allows product designers to purchase Vocallo – as a single media gateway technology -- with multiple hardware, firmware and software “switches” that can be applied, as needed, through a quick and flexible software licensing policy, according to the company. The idea is it provides vendors a way to scale its product in terms of channel support through a simple software license purchased online to upgrade the product. The online segment also can be used to add new features, such as video support, a software license makes it possible in seconds.
“Our mass customization program is ushering in a new generation of telecom and enterprise equipment,” said James Awad, product manager at Octasic. “We recognize that our customers are grappling with a highly competitive marketplace, where price per port and time-to-market become essential to success. Octasics Vocallo, the expandable media gateway solution is the first DSP platform of its kind to enable a new flexible business model for OEMs designing media gateways. This business model enables an OEM to design a cost-reduced gateway to handle todays Voice over IP needs with licensable performance to accommodate future applications. This allows OEMs to defer the costs of additional capacity until they deliver and charge for an application that requires it. Our new One Design, Multiple Products program allows them to keep up with the breakneck changes in the marketplace itself.”
