Dialogic Heralds New Mobile Video Developments at CommunicAsia 2008 Event
Showcases Innovative Mobile Applications Built on Dialogic HMP Software, Including Video Social Networking Service from Nano Equipment and Oasis Systems
SINGAPORE, June 16, 2008 - Dialogic Corporation ("Dialogic"), a global provider of world-class media and signal processing products and technologies, recently participated in CommunicAsia 2008, where several new, innovative applications for the Asia Pacific region were showcased at the Dialogic booth, including applications from APEX Voice Communications, Bay Talkitec, Cellebrum, Envox Worldwide, INOVA Venture, MESSAGEmanager and Telogic. Among the highlights was a groundbreaking 3G video-based social-networking service developed by Nano Equipment Pte Ltd. and Oasis Systems Inc.A video call-based social-networking service, the Asia Video Club is designed to make it easier for people to meet, interact and socialize using their video phones, as people can connect to and use the service by dialing a local access number. Each user is allocated a personal video portal on which the user can record his/her own profile videos and video blogs online. Through the personal profile videos and blogs, club users can get to know each other, make friends, send and receive private video chat messages and form communities.
According to Liew Kong Nam, managing director of Singapore-based Nano Equipment, "Video call rates, measured in minutes, are much lower in our region than mobile data rates and the cost of video phones is going down here, while the number of 3G subscribers is going up. We are convinced that the demand for mobile video services will grow rapidly once customers are made aware of the possibilities, especially in countries where mobile phones are an important source of entertainment."
Created using Oasis Systems' field-proven VoiceXML platform, 3G Video Gateway and Video and Voice Media Server, the Asia Video Club service in one of the many innovative interactive video solutions and applications that are providing new forms of mobile interactivity. Oasis Systems's platform is built on Dialogic® Host Media Processing (HMP) software, which performs media processing tasks on general-purpose servers without requiring the use of specialized hardware. Dialogic HMP software provides media services for building flexible, scalable, and cost-effective next-generation media servers, converged telephony applications, gateways, and video portals.
"Video dating and video banking are but two of the numerous applications made possible on the Dialogic platform," said Oasis Systems' CEO Greg Steer. "There stands to be no shortage of content as people all over the world grow to depend even more on handheld devices, which allow for the capture of live content in video format and for their users to seamlessly upload to online communities, new services, and myriad other outlets."
"The core business of Dialogic lies in enabling cutting-edge media processing, and video is the latest form of media to converge with voice and data over IP," noted Eamonn Kearns, Dialogic's vice president of sales, Asia Pacific. "We're seeing very exciting video application innovations from our developers, especially those from Asia, which is something we envision as likely to continue not only into the near future, but for years to come as well."
