Dialogic® Vision™ VX Integrated Media Platform

Dialogic® Vision™ VX Integrated Media Platform photo

The Dialogic® Vision™ VX Integrated Media Platform is a standards-based integrated media and signaling platform that supports the creation and deployment of multimedia audio and video telephony services using VoiceXML and CCXML.

The Vision VX Integrated Media Platform provides two valuable functions for application developers, OEMs, and system integrators. It can be used to quickly develop and deploy voice and mobile video applications across a broad range of network interfaces and media types, and it can also enable seamless migration from traditional PSTN networks to next-generation IMS networks.
