Eicon Networks delivers new SIP based software as part of Diva Server host-based media processing product
New version of Diva Server SoftIP product now available with support for IP Telephony using SIP and High-Speed Fax over IP using T.38
MONTREAL, Quebec. July 19, 2006 - Eicon Networks Corporation ("Eicon"), a global leader in providing world class products and technologies for media processing, today announced the availability of Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP and a free 30 day evaluation version for download. This release is compatible with SIP (RFC 3261), the de facto industry standard for IP Telephony and with T.38 for real-time fax communication over IP networks. Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP is ideal for applications such as unified messaging, voicemail, fax and IVR servers which need to connect to IP PBXs. The software product runs on both Intel and AMD CPUs and is highly efficient: for example, 120 channels of high-speed fax can be run using less than 10% of the CPU capacity of a 1x Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz server or a 1x Dual Core AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ server.
Software applications - based on the Diva Server API (SDK) or industry standard CAPI programming interfaces - are able to work with SIP-based IP Phones and Soft-Phones in an IP Telephony environment without any change. This means Diva Server SoftIP enables rapid development, fast time-to-market and reduced costs for Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and system integrators (SIs) delivering voice and unified communications software applications and solutions into a market migrating to IP. The same applications can now be deployed either in TDM environments using either Diva Server telephony adapters with Analog, ISDN BRI, ISDN PRI and E1/T1 digital interfaces or in IP Telephony environments using Diva Server SoftIP with support for SIP, H.323, H.450, RTP and T.38 protocols.
"Being able to mix any Diva Server telephony adapter with Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP in a single system, is crucial for our partners as part of their solutions for IP migration as this gives true TDM/IP hybrid configurations", points out Franz-Josef Eberle, Director Product Management at Eicon Networks. "We have also made it very easy for ISVs and SIs to test their applications and instantly interface to IP PBXs by simply downloading a fully functional 30 day evaluation version from the Eicon website."
As an industry-first, Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP also supports high-speed fax over IP connections with up to 33.6 kbps fax transmission speed based on the latest ITU-T T.38 standard. This feature allows fax and unified messaging applications to fully exploit the advantages of IP communications without having to compromise the fax transmission performance which T.38 originally limited to only 14.4 kbps.
Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP supports the current Microsoft Windows operating systems including Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Diva Server SoftIP v2.0-SIP uses a new flexible software licensing system which is entirely based on software activation keys. This allows licenses to be generated for any number of channels and for different feature sets. It also allows for 30 day evaluation licenses.
