Brooktrout Announces Host-Based Media Early Access Program NEEDHAM,
Massachusetts, March 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooktrout Technology, a
leading supplier of media processing, network interface, call
control and signal processing products, today announced an Early
Access Program for a controlled release of its new host-based media
processing product. Qualified developers will receive an early
release of Brooktrout's host-based media product, along with
technical documentation, and dedicated technical support, providing
them with a jump-start on the development cycle and helping them

media processing allows media processing and call control
functions-traditionally performed by specialized hardware telephony
boards- to be performed on general purpose system host processors
that run in industry standard servers. Host-based media processing
brings new efficiencies to existing applications, such as IVR and
voice messaging, by eliminating the need for specialized hardware
through support of a software -only solution. In addition, it holds
promise for expanding enterprise voice capabilities into more
mainstream business applications. Enterprise application vendors
want to take advantage of the benefits of host-based media
processing, including simplified distribution, support and
logistics, that translate into reduced costs and improved service.
However, many are concerned about the performance impact of running
real- time media processing in a non-real-time environment, and of
the contention for system resources between media processing and
their applications. Brooktrout's approach is designed to deliver on
the benefits of host-based media by focusing on the performance and
reliability of the total system. Brooktrout's approach is also
engineered to permit easy transition between hardware and software,
and IP and TDM solutions. "As speech integrates with mainstream IT
applications beyond the call center, innovations such as Host-Based
Media are vital in packaging speech for general IT consumption, and
out of the realm of specialized telephony systems," said Mark
Plakias, partner and seniorconsultant, Zelos Group. "Since our
company began, we've provided enabling technology capabilities in
whatever form best meets the needs of our customers, and we remain
committed to investment in both hardware and software-based
solutions. This strategy puts Brooktrout in a strong position to
take advantage of the impending transition in the communications
market to flexible software-only solutions," said Eric Giler,
president of Brooktrout. "Our current products, along with our new
host-based media processing products, will provide developers the
freedom to move between hardware and software platforms, allowing
them to select the best technology to suit their particular needs."
