WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.,
June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
Pervasip Corp. (OTCQB: PVSP) announced that its wholly owned
subsidiary, VoX Communications, a leading provider of wholesale
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) cloud-based telephony
solutions, has developed and deployed several video technology
additions to its award winning VoIP technology platform.
Pervasip's Chief Information Officer, Mark Richards, noted, "We continue to use our
expertise in cloud-based telephony and VoIP to bring exciting and
innovative features to our products and platform. Already in 2011
we have developed significant video capabilities to our technology
and we are excited to share this progress with our
shareholders."
VoX's VoIP platform has demonstrated that it is extremely stable
and scalable, with high quality voice traffic. It is relatively
inexpensive to scale because it uses a Linux-based server cluster.
VoX mastered VoIP load balancing and virtual servers very early in
its evolution and is capable of adding features to its platform
very quickly. An example of this ability is the recent
development of video support and features for the Worldgate Ojo
Vision video phone that VoX is now selling. This offering is
currently being evaluated by several Fortune 500 companies and
management anticipates it will shortly be offered by some large
marketing agencies.
Most telecom companies assemble pieces of equipment together to
build a VoIP offering, typically buying equipment from Sonus or
Cisco and other large companies, with as many as seven or eight
different vendors. When a VoIP company uses this strategy, it loses
the ability to evolve and control that "purchased" platform. VoX's
approach is antithetical to this typical telecom model as it built
its own code, and together with strategic choices of innovative
open source projects, it is able to fully control its development
destiny. When VoX wants to develop new "personalities," which
are new features on its platform, the "personalities" can be
deployed very quickly to VoX's virtual server farm, remotely and
effectively, anywhere that VoX has equipment "in the cloud" (on the
Internet). Some of the "components” of this video service offering,
have also been designed to be used in other initiatives that the
company is exploring in the social media space.
"If we look at our video features as an example," continued
Richards, "VoX engineers developed video voice mail for the Ojo
Vision, something that is actually very difficult to do. If we
design with the atomic components in mind, we are able to break
down video voicemail to smaller components. We can 'record' a video
message, and we can 'play' a video message. Then we can 'store' a
video message in the cloud on our server farm. Once we had this, we
were able to build code to allow anyone in a corporate environment
to send that video message to other video phones deployed in their
network, even thousands of phones via pre set 'groups.' This
cannot be done on any other technology that we know of – and is
certainly not available in the currently deployed email and
'office' type solutions. With our technology, a CEO can
address employees all over the world with a video message, a large
company can announce its latest products and services to its
distribution network, or a company may decide to give away the
video phone service in exchange for video advertising to the video
phone. The possibilities are endless."
In the analysis of the atomic components of H.264 video and
voice, VoX was able to understand the timing complexities that are
responsible for voice and video synchronization. The lack of
understanding of the atomic components is one of the reasons that
other video products have a problem with keeping the voice and
video in sync – it is not Internet lag, or "latency" – it is that
the engineers did not initially take the time to write the code to
keep the voice and video components in sync.
Richards continued, "In working with the Ojo Vision, we took
many new paths that helped us understand what we can do with video
that we have not seen yet in the industry. We are able to
join one or more parties in a video conference or 'room.' We
are also able to 'stitch' multiple video streams so that they would
present as one stream. This type of ability is an absolute must if
you are trying to do live social communicating because the end user
perceives a room full of people, whereas you are really only
streaming one video stream that just happens to have 10 or 20
'sub-frames' within it. We have also been able to generate
soft load menus that run on the video phone that can be used to
dial any media streamed from our own media servers similar to what
Netflix does today. Today we are playing movies and advertising
back to the phone. This technology was used to allow GlobalPreneurs
to deliver marketing videos playing directly on the phone, not
needing to reference to the web or other marketing collateral. We
are very excited at the capacities these 'technology bites' allow
us to build. Suffice is to say that the imagineering team at VoX is
hard at work packaging some of this ability.
"We also are looking very carefully at recent developments with
Google's WebRTC, which we feel could be significant to companies
like VoX that have video capabilities that scale. WebRTC and new
protocols like Jingle are potential new building blocks that may
become the next personalities deployed to the cloud and enable all
kinds of new social media tools.
"With VoX's evolving video and VoIP toolbox, we believe we are
positioned to be at the forefront of what is likely to be an
explosive market in Video Telepresence, live social and other fixed
and mobile VoIP developments.
"While we plan to continue for the rest of 2011 with our
development work with the Ojo Vision, we also see our mobile VoIP
products coming back into play and being even more relevant in 2012
when we expect mass adoption of better smart phone clients capable
of tighter integration with the VoX video and VoIP services. We
initially were very early to market with mobile VoIP but it was not
well understood and still isn't, though we do see an increase in
demand for mobile VoIP due to the rapid adoption of smart
phones.
"Ideally we would like the brand to be VoX, but our ability to
brand our solutions enables us to partner with others to create
their own brand and enter the mobile space. Further network
developments in both 3G and 4G in the U.S. and Canada are also feeding the mobile VoIP
revolution and we believe will continue to do so even more rapidly
in 2012 and 2013.
"As we look to the rest of 2011 and beyond, the VoX technical
team is very excited at our potential to innovate and empower the
next wave of cloud-based communications."
