Get the (Voice SMS) message! Dialogic partners with Kirusa Integrated Solution to address increasing global customer demand for alternatives to the "type and read” mobile text message PARSIPPANY, NJ, and NEW PROVIDENCE, NJ - December 9, 2008
- Dialogic Corporation (“Dialogic”), a global provider
of world-class products and technologies for media and signal
processing and Kirusa, Inc. (“Kirusa”), a value-added
mobile services provider, today announced that Kirusa has incorporated
the Dialogic® Vision™ VX VoiceXML Server within Kirusa’s
Voice SMS solution and other value added services, being deployed
by mobile carriers around the world. The integrated solution
has been successfully deployed at carriers in Asia and Latin
America. Voice SMS avoids the difficulties of “triple tap” text input in situations such as driving, where typing can be difficult or unsafe. Voice SMS provides a useful way to give call recipients information or initiate a non-real-time conversation, while allowing them the option to delay their response until a more convenient time. In addition, voice conveys emotion and tone, and thus can provide a more meaningful and in-depth understanding than a standard SMS text message. In the two years since its introduction, this new messaging paradigm has been adopted by tens of millions of mobile users in dozens of countries. Kirusa’s KV.SMS™ solution lets carriers deploy Voice SMS services rapidly. It also provides the open standards to embrace all generations of CDMA and GSM networks, while enabling support for next-generation infrastructures such as 3G and IP multimedia subsystem (IMS). Ewald Anderl, CTO of Kirusa, said, “Voice SMS is the next-generation messaging application that is quickly gaining momentum among carriers around the world. The Vision VX VoiceXML Server provides the development speed to bring Voice SMS and additional mobile value added services rapidly to market while its proven carrier grade platform allows an ease of deployment within operator networks. This partnership will help our customers continue to grow.” The VX Server is an open platform that enables Kirusa to quickly develop voice applications to meet extreme time-to-market expectations, cutting service launch time from months to weeks. The VX Server manages call traffic for the application to ensure accurate message delivery and billing within the operator’s infrastructure. In addition, the VX Server provides universal media ports that also support video, providing a path for operators to use the same platform to support future applications such as Video SMS, and mobile TV. “Carriers who want to maintain a competitive advantage can’t afford to wait to deploy new revenue-producing services,” said Jim Machi, senior vice president of marketing at Dialogic. “This relationship with Kirusa is a testament to the rapidly growing popularity of Voice SMS. It also underscores Dialogic product momentum as service providers seek development environments that are easy to use, fast, and flexible enough to support and deploy next-generation services.” About Kirusa Kirusa is the world’s leading vendor of Voice SMS and a leading developer of mobile value added services.
