Telephony Services
Petaluma, CA
— February 9, 2006—
Dilithium announced today that Vodafone Portugal
has selected Dilithium along with its partner, Nortel, to
provide multimedia and enhanced video services. Nortel will
integrate Dilithium’s DTG 2000, the leading multimedia
transcoding gateway, with its MCS 5200 communication
platform for a complete multimedia communications solution
that provides seamless connectivity across mobile and
broadband networks. The system will extend Vodafone’s
capability of the 3G mobile network to enable seamless real
time conversational video telephony calling to personal
computers over broadband networks.
The DTG 2000 multimedia gateway incorporates several patent
pending technologies including Dilithium' Unicoding™ technology for fast efficient
transcoding, resulting in better lip synchronization.
Additional key benefits include Video Refresh™ for
eliminating video corruption in messaging and streaming
platforms, and AnswerFast™ Plus that reduces call
setup times to under 1 second. Nortel’s MCS 5200 is a carrier-grade, SIP-based media and
applications server.
"Portugal is
one of the most advanced markets in Europe for mobile
penetration and its broadband growth rates now exceed the EU
average growth rate.” said Lee Ellison, Senior VP of Global
Sales and Support, Dilithium. “Dilithium'
DTG 2000 will bridge the gap between the 3G mobile networks
and broadband networks allowing a much larger installed base
of video enabled media rich devices. Both Nortel and
Dilithium are pleased to be selected by Vodafone to deliver
this innovative solution.”
