Hello, my name is Dan Wolanski and I am pleased to introduce a new Web Series that I have been working on. In this video series we wil discus various topics surrounding the PowerMedia XMS media server including overviews on developing, testing and deploying solutions on WebRTC, SIP, VOIP, REST...

We’re building momentum as we travel the world to meet with customers and share our success stories. Here’s a quick rundown on where we will be within the next few weeks telling our story and getting the word out about cool, new telecommunication technologies: First, across the globe we...

A few months back, a question was posed on twitter by @numbergroup about how Quality of Service (QoS) was being implemented in WebRTC. As we stated in our reply, Over the Top (OTT) providers like Skype and Vonage have been operating for years without any type of guaranteed services highlighting the use...

On November 12 and 13 TADS will happen. TADS bills itself in the following way: “TADSummit (TADS) is focused on building an essential yet missing component of the Telecom Industry, the telecom application developer ecosystem that creates new services and customer value to address the revenue decline...

I’m a telephony guy at heart but with the WebRTC revolution, the line that once clearly divided web versus telephony programmers is quickly vanishing. The acronyms I often referenced like ACD, ISDN and PBX seem to be obsolete and replaced with new, hip acronyms like MEAN.io, LAMP and WYSIWYG. The...

Last week @chadwallacehart shared some javascript code that used the HTML5 drawImage() method to copy a <video> source to various canvas contexts which could then be manipulated. As a result, we are able to slice the external video source into four quadrants for display. The code was great so I...

A few weeks ago, I attended a new developer show in Madrid called TADHack . It’s a smaller event and very different from the average conference. As soon as I walked into the venue, I noticed this weird green hue, kind of like I was in the Wizard of Oz. It had the feel of a nightclub, which was...

I could blog about the importance of WebRTC and high definition (HD) voice until my fingers fall off, but it wouldn’t matter unless I can explain why they’re so important. Taken together, these technologies will make a large impact on your business and the future of the telecom industry as...

If reading the title of this article only brought to mind a whale, it’s time to learn more. WebRTC has not one, but two different and totally distinct ORCA projects. Here is what they mean for both WebRTC and the telecom industry as a whole. W3C ORTC The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)’s...

The first TAD (Telecom Application Developer) Meetup NJ is happening tomorrow evening and the excitement is in the air here at Dialogic—not just because we’re hosting the event , but also because the event allows high-level networking and idea sharing. This event is for all developers...

If you are a telecom application developer and in the NY/NJ (US) area, Telecom Application Developer group is hosting a meet-up in NJ on March 27th. If you are in the area, it would be great to see you there. See details at http://www.meetup.com/TADMeetup-NJ/events/167348582/

I enjoyed this poster today (for the Telegraph newspaper) with a boot labelled "A Nokia, 1979". You might not realize this, but until the early 1980's Nokia was largely an industrial company in the rubber production business. A small investment in switching equipment, and then early...

It’s hard to believe it now, but at one time, VoIP was a hard sell in this industry. At pivotal moments in this market, telcos have faced the challenge of having to do something to react to changing user needs and habits, but they have hesitated to believe that heir-apparent technologies were...

When I was in Singapore in April for the Telecom Asia Awards and Conference 2011 , one of the most interesting talks was given by Sandy Monteiro of Universal Music. Here is a link to an interview he did with TelecomAsia back in January which is also interesting. His talk was mainly about the revenue...

Dialogic has been nominated for a Telecom Asia Readers’ Choice award in the Bandwidth Optimization Innovation of the Year category. Our Dialogic® I-Gate® 4000 Session Bandwidth Optimizers deliver capacity multiplication on existing infrastructure, saving operators CAPEX and OPEX while enabling...

Last week, I attended IT Expo in Las Vegas, which is the last real horizontal communications tradeshow in the U.S. The show covers a variety of topics and does it well. I would say the theme of this show was “getting down to earth,” which is a weird theme considering the show was in Las Vegas...

In my last blog, I spoke about seeing some metal object on top of one of the pyramids in Egypt. I joked that I hoped it wasn’t a cell tower. Come to think of it, I did have five bars though... Anyway, during my marathon tour through Europe a few weeks ago, I was in Zurich. I was struck by the...

Open source based telephony applications have been around for quite a few years now. Asterisk is probably the most well-known one. And given that Dialogic has been supplying media, multimedia, and signaling engines in the form of software and boards to the telephony independent software vendors (ISVs...

When new terms and buzzwords are introduced to the industry, it’s understandable to be confused. There is hype, more hype, and then many different definitions as the terms get bandied about. It happens all the time. Right now, the hype is rising around software defined networking (SDN) and network...

The contact center is undergoing continual change as companies strive to make their operations more efficient and cost-effective. This is one of the reasons the contact center has always been an innovator and a driver for new technologies, from VoIP to Web integration to speech recognition. Now, contact...

One of the interesting things I've observed in the last year is how my hobby activities of social networking and blogging are in the process of crossing over into the mainstream of business activities. In turn, we are starting to see the early stages of mashups between Telecom and what Tim O'Reilly...

Network functions virtualization (NFV) will let service providers make the leap to software virtualization and general-purpose hardware. The ideas on which NFV are based are not new. But what is new with NFV is the move away from hardware to handle key segments of the network – for a truly...

I’ve been writing a lot about NFV the past few months, and I’ve gotten a few comments like this one: “What do you really think about NFV?” I get where these questions are coming from; my blogs about this topic have been largely educational – not editorial. NFV education...
