Dialogic Announces Sponsorship of Project DiaStar™ and Availability of the DiaStar™ Server (DSS)

Enabling robust communications for the Open Source community

Parsippany, NJ - August 31, 2009 - Dialogic Corporation ("Dialogic"), a global provider of world-class products and technologies for multimedia and signal processing, today introduces Project DiaStar^TM, an open source project sponsored by Dialogic to create software that allows open source developers to access portions of the Dialogic® product portfolio to bring advanced communications technology to demanding open source markets. The open source community is invited to participate in this project at www.projectdiastar.org.

In conjunction with Project DiaStar, Dialogic is also announcing the DiaStar^TM Server (DSS), which is the first available software developed from Project DiaStar. The DiaStar^TM Server (DSS) acts as multi-function peripheral that can be implemented as a media gateway, signaling gateway or media server. The DSS operates in support of an Asterisk® (or other open source) implementation via the open source Woomera protocol. Additionally, the DSS is a Woomera-compliant server and can operate with projects or products that implement a corresponding Woomera client.

Highlights of the DiaStar Server:
• Creates a client/server architecture for Asterisk or FreeSWITCH - Enhances reliability, scalability, and redundancy for Asterisk or FreeSWITCH implementations
• Distributed architecture allows media and signaling functions to be abstracted and moved from a telephony server to the DSS - Reduces the processing load on a telephony server
• Abstracts and encapsulates media, signaling, and gateway functions - Allows developers to access Dialogic® functionality while working within their native programming environment
• Multiple configurations, including one telephony server to one DSS, multiple telephony servers to one DSS, or one telephony server to multiple DSSs - Provides flexibility in distributing and balancing processing loads; multiple telephony clients can share the resources of a single DSS
• Compatible with Dialogic® HMP Interface Boards (DNI Boards) - Allows converged TDM-IP and TDM-only solutions in PCI and PCIe form factors
• Supports video, SS7 signaling, fax and FoIP - Enables high-value media and signaling capabilities to be brought to the market in a reliable and scalable way
• Up to 24 spans (720 simultaneous calls) of TDM connectivity (T1/E1) per DSS - Enables high-density solutions

"Dialogic has been supporting ISVs with open standards based boards and software since the beginning of the standards based era. More directly supporting the open source telephony ISVs is a natural evolution for us," said Steve Gladstone, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Media Enabling Product Group for Dialogic. "The DiaStar Server (DSS) offers Open Source Telephony developers the opportunity to leverage features provided by Dialogic® Products, such as Dialogic® Perfect Call, which provides Call Progress Analysis, Positive Voice Detection and Answering Machine Detection. We believe that this market has now matured to the point where participants are finding opportunities that can only be addressed effectively by the kinds of technology that Dialogic provides."
