Commetrex Wins Pulver's "100 Companies to Watch"
Commetrex was awarded the 'pulver100' by pulver.com in recognition of
our continuing innovation in open-systems architectures as evidence by
Commetrex' category-defining products such as OTF Kernel(tm) and
OpenMedia(tm). The pulver100 award, which recognizes private companies
in the communications sector that have substantial real-world
deployments and enjoy significant growth
rates, was awarded to Commetrex at the Fall Von Conference in Atlanta
last month.
VON show founder,Jeff Pulver, added: "The judging of the companies for
the pulver100 award, including Commetrex, represents the future of
telecommunications. Such pioneers need to press forward into a new
telecom future."
The list seeks to include the companies that represent the future of the
communications ecosystem. The value chain characterized by the
recipient companies differs substantially from the vertically integrated
telecom model of the last century. The companies prospering in the new
environment have followed the computer and networking industry model
with open interfaces, connectivity decoupled from services, and software
decoupled from hardware.

Trunk Protocol Software Announced
Trunk protocol software? Nobody licenses that! Well now they do. Commetrex'
business is to help the telecommunications OEM get his system to market fast and
at reduced cost . . . no matter
where within the system that may be. Of course, it needs to be something that's
common so that it makes sense for use. Well, one thing that's common enough is
the need to implement in-band trunk-control. This means rock-solid software to
handle things like ring and loop detect, on- and off-hook control, DID, ground
and loop start, robbed-bit signaling, and so on.
It's amazing how long this stuff can take, and our industry doesn't benefit if
every developer of an IP analog endpoint, for example, does it from scratch.
So, Commetrex is making its in-band signaling
stuff available to the system developer. It's comprised of a miro-exec that
serves as a state-machine sequencer and the various state machines available on
an a la carte basis. Each one you use will save you about two man-months of
development and plenty of grief in the field.

Commetrex Launches IP Media Server, BladeWare(tm)
OK, quick, no cheating: How much does a DSP-based MIP for call-stream processing
cost? What about on a PC? Here's a hint: the PC MIP is cheaper. Well, if
that's so, why do we use DSPs for high-capacity systems? There are plenty of
reasons.
In systems that directly access the PSTN, telephony-specific interfaces are
required. You know, E1, T1, DS-3, loop-start, DID, ground-start ---the list
goes on. They are expensive, physically large,
and gobble up power. So, once you've built a specialized enclosure and blades
to handle the line interface, adding DSPs is sometimes only an incremental cost.
And, expanding a digital-media system by adding PCs adds tremendously to the
software complexity, cost, space, and power consumption of the system at least
when compared with adding one board to a chassis.

Pika Ports Fax Modems & T.38 Creating New Communications Platform
PIKA Technologies Inc. has ported Commetrex' PortableT30(tm) and fax-modem
bundle to the All-On-Board framework, giving PIKA hardware and software rock-
solid fax technology. The product will be available in release 6.0 of the PIKA
MonteCarlo Software Developer Kit (SDK).
Doug Petty, VP of Technology for the product commented, "We looked at several
technology vendors, some priced much lower than Commetrex' technology, but we
just couldn't ignore Commetrex' market-leading technology. They've been
shipping this stuff for years. We knew that any price differential would vanish
quickly if we had problems porting and then in the field. Commetrex' field
experience meant we didn't have to worry about that, and we could rely on them
to fix any problems we did find."

OpenEndpoint(tm) IP Endpoint Reference Design Takes Off
So, what happens when you combine in-band trunk-protocol software,
OpenMedia(tm), the industry's only standards-based streams framework, and all
the media technologies needed to implement an IP voice-fax endpoint? You get
OpenEndpoint(tm), that's what, and it's available today.
OpenEndpoint is everything software the system developer needs to get an IP
endpoint to market quickly and at the lowest cost. Hardware? No problem. Our
reference design is what you need. Not quick enough? You can ship by the end
of the year with an Endpoint based on the MSP-H8, OTF Kernel, and OpenMedia.
