Truphone Launches All-New Version of Android App

• Completely new user interface that is more intuitive than ever before
• Better account management matches Truphone for the iPhone
• Native application makes it faster than ever before

London, 29 September 2009 – Truphone, the next generation global mobile operator, today announces a significant upgrade to its Android application with the launch of Truphone for Android v2.0.

With a native interface and a completely reworked end-to-end user experience, the new Truphone for Android application is faster, more responsive and easier to use, making it the best ever Android application from Truphone.

Truphone for Android delivers an all-in-one conversations hub that allows customers to take advantage of Truphone’s low international call rates, in addition to the cost of a local call*. The application works by making a local GSM call to the Truphone gateway (if a customer has a bundled package of minutes, this call is often free), from where the call is then routed over the Truphone network.

In addition, customers can make voice calls to Skype and Google Talk™ buddies (costs as above). Customers can also easily instant message their friends across networks including Skype and Google Talk™, MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM and Twitter from within one Android application, all for free**.

“The improvements to the Android application come from customer feedback and lessons learned from our first application to provide a slicker and faster user experience”, said Karl Good, Director of Consumer Apps for Truphone. “This new Android application builds on our heritage of being a pioneer in the mobile industry, providing high quality voice services and making Truphone the smart choice for people with an international lifestyle.”

The new application is available to download now from the Truphone website (www.truphone.com), or the Android Market.

Truphone applications are also available for Apple iPhone, Apple iPod touch, Blackberry and Nokia devices.

* Operator roaming charges will apply if you are abroad – Truphone recommends that customers only use this application in their home country.

** Instant messaging works over 3G – please ensure you have data usage included within your contract.

More than 60 current and former heads of state attended the meeting, including President Barack Obama who addressed the opening session.

Livestream Launches Livepack

The world’s first solution for wireless live streaming at HD quality

New York, NY (Sept. 24, 2009)—Livestream today announced the availability of Livepack, a turn-key hardware solution for wireless live streaming at HD quality to hundreds of thousands of viewers on the web. Livepack is available immediately from Livestream, the leading live Internet video platform.

Livepack is ideal for live broadcasting any events including concerts, interviews, sporting events, town hall meetings, paparazzi, university graduations, weddings, ceremonies, transmission from a moving car, and a variety of enterprise applications.

“Livepack is like having a satellite television truck in a backpack,” said Max Haot, CEO and co-founder of Livestream. “If you want to live stream in high quality at an event where you don’t have a reliable fixed Internet connection, broadcasting with a cell phone cannot yet deliver either the high video quality or network reliability you need. The only other solution available is a traditional broadcast truck and satellite signal which can cost up to $50,000 a day.”

Livepack is an integrated solution using hardware provided by Livestream’s partner, LiveU (www.LiveU.tv), that has been fully integrated with Livestream’s streaming video platform and content delivery network (CDN).  Livepack fits in a custom-designed backpack and includes everything required to stream live: a built-in wireless connection with six load-balanced 3G/EVDO modems over three carriers, encoding hardware, Firewire cable, and 30 hours of streaming uplink time per month.

Livepack product details and recordings of live videos can be viewed at www.livestream.com/livepack. Livepack was recently used for coverage of the MTV Video Music Awards, NY Fashion Week, Harry Potter movie premiere and Pixie Lott Live,

Livestream’s groundbreaking Livepack redefines simplicity for live mobile HD quality video streaming. Once Livepack is powered up, and a DV camera is connected, all it takes is just one press of a button to start the live streaming, enabling broadcasters to deliver live, on the scene, video coverage at just a fraction of what a satellite truck costs to rent and operate.

Livepack quickly establishes a reliable Internet connection and is not tied to one wireless network, as it includes six 3G/EVDO modems for redundancy. Because it integrates with Livestream’s streaming video platform, Livepack does not require any additional re-encoding or server in your offices to reach its destination. Once the video reaches the Livestream content delivery network the video is immediately streamed in your Livestream player, as well as being captured and securely archived.

Availability and Pricing

Livestream Livepack is available in the U.S. for monthly or yearly rental directly from Livestream, and includes the hardware unit, custom designed backpack, dedicated IP address for the Livestream channel, all 3G/EVDO network charges, and 30 hours of streaming uplink time per month.  Neither a DV camera nor tripod are included. Month-to-month rental without commitment is $2,500 per month plus the cost of shipping. Yearly rental is $1,500 per month plus the cost of shipping. To order Livepack, email getlivepack@livestream.com.

The Mobivox Voice User Interface (VUI), available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese languages, is used by partners around the world.

Patel, who co-founded Sabse in 2007 and holds many patents himself views the Mobivox VUI as the superior platform to VoiceXML and CCXML. He added “Our carrier partners have already deployed Sabse’s TAAS platform and demonstrated repeated interest in bringing to market VUI-powered services.”

Sophie Forest of BrightSpark, one of the earliest venture-capital backers of Mobivox, said:  “It’s gratifying to see that Mobivox accomplished so many of its goals from day one. Mobivox changed the way people thought of VoIP, with the help of its easy-to-use, natural speech interface. We’re excited that our efforts have been recognized by two very successful international entrepreneurs like Yogesh and Sabeer.”

Sabeer, co-founder of Hotmail added, “Using Mobivox’s phone to Skype combined with Jaxtr’s free telephony platform, Sabse is on a fast track to become the largest free telephony provider from mobile to mobile and mobile to IM in the world.”

iotum Supercharges Online Conferencing Service for Event Holders, Entrepreneurs and Enterprises

New Software Release Facilitates Seminars, Press Conferences, Classes and More

 Ottawa (Sept. 23, 2009) –Web meetings innovator iotum today announced powerful new software that simplifies and enriches its Calliflower service for use by current and prospective online event holders and enterprises.

The versatile collaboration service now allows users to add and change moderators on-the-fly, schedule recurring calls and easily expand online meetings by including participants who are not Calliflower subscribers.

This takes Calliflower farther beyond plain vanilla offerings in a crowded field of one-dimensional conference calling services. It’s already widely used for multifaceted meetings that can include document sharing, text chat and more with far-flung employees and customers. Mobile users can join using their iPhones.

One current customer, inmedia Public Relations Inc., uses Calliflower for internal, media and client calls and now plans to use the new features to enrich a variety of online business meetings and sees events in its future.

"We see the enriched Calliflower service as an enabler for large events for us,’’ said inmedia Managing Partner Francis Moran. “With offices and clients in three countries, and regular contact with journalists just about everywhere in the world, we’ve already found Calliflower to be powerful, easy-to-use and extremely cost effective.”

“This software release is designed to optimize Calliflower for those seeking to hold events online, such as seminars, classes and press and investor relations gatherings, in a simple and effective manner for organizers and participants,” commented iotum CEO Alec Saunders.

Powerful New Features

iotum has added Simple Sign-in that enables those that aren’t subscribers to Calliflower to easily join events powered by the service.

Targeted at large online gatherings which often include participants from around the world, Calliflower’s new Co-Moderator feature enables one-click sharing or changing of moderators while meetings are in progress. The feature can be used in calls where multiple participants need the floor to give presentations or where one user presents while another manages the ongoing call.

Calliflower’s new Recurring Call Scheduling feature enables event organizers to quickly and easily create and keep events compelling by setting regularly held conference calls. This eliminates repetitive tasks and lets organizers ensure consistency for even the largest online events.

The new features are now available to Calliflower Premium users and are accessed using the company’s function-rich dashboard.

Calliflower Premium is currently available in 31 countries and over 130 cities in Europe, Asia, and North and South America thanks to a sweeping network expansion announced in late June.

Calliflower Premium is priced at $50 per month, for two organizers, with a no-risk 14-day free trial period. Additional organizers cost $25 per month each.

Via Browser, Junction Networks’ “my.OnSIP” Adds Presence, Availability, IM Missing Pieces to Hosted PBX Service

• One-Window Interface to OnSIP  Lets Those on Hosted PBX Extensions Click to Chat or to Dial, See Who’s Online or on the Phone
• New UC Tools Close Feature Gap Between Hosted and On-Premise PBX

NEW YORK – Sept. 24, 2009 — Junction Networks announced today that it is broadening the range of its popular OnSIP hosted PBX service beyond voice, adding the unified communications features of instant messaging, presence, and phone status.  All four components are presented to OnSIP end users through my.OnSIP, an IM-style interface available from a browser.

Through one window, my.OnSIP shows all users which contacts on their hosted PBX are “present,” which are on the phone, and which are free to call with a click on their names. It lets users send calls only to those who can answer, avoiding voice mail and phone tag. And unlike consumer IM services that are often banned from the workplace as note-passing distractions, my.OnSIP’s chat is limited to those on the hosted system, even though those coworkers and their extensions may be physically located at multiple sites on different continents or at temporary locations.

Caption: Jeff Buckley, whose my.OnSIP interface shows that he’s already on a call with 212-993-9190, quickly IMs coworker Ben when he gets a call for help from Arthur.  Ben IMs back that he’s busy; Jeff drags and drops Arthur onto Otomo’s extension to transfer him there. 

For more my.OnSIP screen shots, click here.

Capex and Opex that SMBs Love to Avoid
“In adding these unified communications features to OnSIP, and by making them Web-accessible, we’re closing the last feature gaps between hosted and on-premise phone systems,” said Junction Networks President Robert Wolpov. “True, some on-premise PBX vendors offer chat, presence, and maybe even phone status – but they often charge considerably extra for these non-voice media, and they often require proprietary phone sets. Most importantly, as customer-premise equipment, they always require the capital and operating expenditures that small-to-medium sized businesses love to avoid.”

The hosted alternative to an installed PBX enables coworkers in one or many sites to share the same company phone number, greetings, auto attendant, extension dialing and transfer, hunt groups, voice mail system, and advanced features enjoyed by workers whose extensions are wired to the traditional PBX system in the traditional company phone closet.  The difference is that all this phone switch functionality is outsourced to a hosting provider in a remote center, leaving the business with nothing to buy but the phone sets themselves.

Different phones, a uniform control display
“While some hosted providers – ourselves included -- have long supplied Web tools for administrators, few if any have extended Web access down to the level of end-user phone controls,” Wolpov said. “In the process, we let our customers’ employees all share the same ‘deluxe’ phone toolset, with the same display and the same clickable ways of making, taking, and transferring calls – even if they all have different SIP phones with different buttons.”

My.OnSIP controls any SIP-compliant phone or softphone and runs on the browser of any desktop or laptop running Windows,  Macintosh, or Linux. Available to OnSIP users now, it can be accessed for free by logging in at my.onsip.com. 

The UC tool and interface add no cost to the OnSIP hosted PBX service, which starts at $39.95 per month for a full suite of PBX features and an unlimited number of users and extensions.  Unlike typical hosted services that require long-term contracts and add $30 to $50 per seat per month to a base PBX charge, OnSIP requires no contract and only adds charges per usage. “Usage” includes off-network voice minutes (on-network calls are free); additional voice mail boxes; or advanced applications, such as next-available-agent-style call distribution.

Junction Networks also is making my.OnSIP’s application programming interface available to developers, who may hook the interface’s calling, instant messaging, presence and availability information to any application whose users need real-time communication.

Voxbone and I6NET Complete Interoperability Test for 3G Video-to-Mobile-Phone Services

Voxbone's Call Origination Services Certified to Work With I6NET VXI* IVVR 3G Video Telephony Solutions

BRUSSELS, Belgium and MADRID, Spain – Sept. 21, 2009 – Voxbone, a leading provider of international VoIP origination services and DID (direct inward dialed) numbers, and I6NET, a global software vendor for interactive voice and video software platforms, today announced completion of interoperability testing between their offerings. The successful teaming of the partners’ services and platform opens up the potential for wireless carriers to bring mobile video services to market quickly.

The success of their test proved that calls from 3G mobile phones to Voxbone DIDs can retrieve and play chosen video content through I6NET’s voice and video browser, using a wireless voice channel. The teamed technology does not require the caller to have a data plan, or to download any software. 

In the application tested, a caller using a 3G phone was able to view the live video of any of four remote surveillance cameras. This required a call to a Voxbone DID number, forwarded over IP to an IVR (interactive voice response) application running on I6NET’s VXI*'s voice and video browser. The application requested and received the touch tones that enabled the caller to select and control one of the four cameras.

I6NET’s VXI* then streamed video from the selected source back to the mobile phone. To make this possible, Voxbone had to ensure that the video signal would remain uncompressed, using a 64-kbps channel from its IP backbone up to the PSTN and 3G partners.

The video-to-mobile technology works with typical 3G-compatible phones, such as the Motorola A1000, Nokia E65 and N70, Blackberry Storm 9500 and Sony Ericsson z610i. It currently operates in the United Kingdom, Belgium, France and Spain; Voxbone plans to add other countries in early 2010.

Video Streaming Through a Wireless Voice Channel
"The integration of Voxbone and  I6NET offerings shows that common telephone numbers can now be used to watch videos transmitted from anywhere in the world through a local call,” said Rod Ullens, Voxbone CEO. “The delivery of video services is an emerging area of growth for Voxbone."

In teaming with Voxbone, I6NET has gained access to local numbers from several countries through one IP interconnection, instead of needing separate interconnects, via traditional, TDM PRI channels, to separate carriers. This aggregated IP interconnection opens new horizons for automated and remote video applications.

"The completion of interoperability testing with Voxbone is another great step in the progress of 3G video telephony, and in the success of a new generation of carrier-grade service providers,” said Iván Sixto, CEO and business development director at I6NET. “It allows service providers to bring video services to market smoothly and quickly while eliminating high capital requirements for TDM infrastructure."

I6NET’s VXI* product is an IP Multimedia Subsystem communication service implemented in software, allowing network providers to unify voice and video traffic within a single network. VXI* is provided with an unlimited perpetual license, on-site training, and technical support and upgrades.
