applications: BladeWare Fax Media Server for
use with the application server of your choice,
BladeWare Fax-to-Email, and BladeWare
Email-to-Fax. But wait! There's more!
If you need a VoiceXML interpreter, you
might be considering BladeWareVXML, which
is available today on

Hot New Money Maker For Service Providers!
You might have heard about BladeWare Fax-to-Email.
It's a ready-to-deploy software-only (HMP) media server
that receives T.38 and G.711 pass-through faxes and emails
them to your subscribers. Well, for every fax received, one is
sent, so we've now developed BladeWare Email-to-Fax.
These two affordable and effective media servers make it
easy to offer differentiating revenue-enhancing services. So
come by booth 633 at VON and learn all about it.
Meanwhile, for more information on
BladeWare Email-to-Fax click

OTF Kernel achieves its resource independence by
isolating signaling, switching, routing, and media-processing
resources, which are vendor specific, behind "resource
service managers (RSMs). Since the RSMs use generic
protocols to communicate with the system kernel, the
applications are also resource independent."

V.34 Product Roadmap
If you've read the last few Outlook newsletters,
you may recall that Commetrex has completed
its V.34 fax-modem development. We've also
enhanced our T.30 to support V.34. Meanwhile,
we will be busy integrating the V.34 fax modem
into all of our products that use our other modems
(V.17, etc.).
First stop is PowerRelay for T.38, which is widely
used by gateway, ATA, and gateway-chip vendors.
This means upgrading the T.38 relay to support T.38
V3, which supports V.34. V3 support is available
today, but without V.34; V.34 will be integrated this month.
We are also integrating the T.30 and modem package
into the BladeWare Fax Resource Controller, making
it available with BladeWare's G.711 pass-through fax
and also the MSP product line of TDM boards, such
as the MSP-H8 8-line analog board and the MSP-640
Quad E1/T1.
A related effort, but one that does not involve V.34
directly, is to add V.34 support to BladeWare's
TerminatingT38. The job of TerminatingT38 is to
emulate the combination of a T.38-capable gateway
and endpoint fax terminal. So TerminatingT38, to
interoperate with that combination on the remote
end, must support the V.34-specified V.8 negotiations
and related modem timing. Oh yes, TerminatingT38
is also available as licensed media technology.
If you are looking to gain competitive advantage
with
V.34
or any of these technologies, we'd be pleased
to discuss your requirements with you. Contact us at
sales@commetrex.com. And feel free to schedule
a meeting with us at VON.
What Does IMS Mean To You?
What does someone mean when they talk about deploying
an IMS service network? Do they mean fully IMS-compliant
or IMS-like? A fully compliant IMS service network is, as we
say in the trade, a non-trivial undertaking. But once done,
improved service agility and ROI just keeps on coming. But
you don't have to get there in one leap. You can do it in
stages and immediately reap the rewards.
That's the subject of Mike Coffee's latest CEO letter.

Timescale Modification?
Large countries have regional accents and styles of speaking.
Here in the U.S. we in the South think Northerners speak
too rapidly; Northerners wish we would 'just get on with
it.' Timescale modification (TSM), the ability to speed up
or slow down the playback of a voice message can help
you catch that call-back number left too hastily. The trick
is to design the TSM algorithm so that the speaker sounds
as she usually does, just speaking slower or faster.
Commetrex' TSM is now available for license to telecom
OEMs that want to add this valuable and differentiating feature
to their messaging systems. Check it out at
Timescale MST
and receive more information by emailing us at sales@commetrex.com.
