The IT and telecommunications space, especially following yesterday’s earnings call with Polycom (News - Alert), Inc., can safely place mobility, VoIP and telepresence among those solutions that are gaining traction in this slower economy.

 

Experts already have told us that VoIP will gain a greater appreciation from the federal agency that regulates communications in the United States under President-elect Barack Obama’s administration. They’ve also said that VoIP stands to get better carrier interconnection rights and recognition among policy-makers that the telecommunications world is evolving toward Internet telephony.

 

That’s for the industry at large. But for your average businessman out there, your average SMB, VoIP offers lower costs and increasingly reliable and high quality.

 

One of the more interesting players in the VoIP market is a Canadian company whose hardware and software products support VoIP, TDM, and IVR technologies – enabling the rapid development of carrier-grade telecom systems.

 

In particular, Boucherville, Quebec-based TelcoBridges Inc.’s high-density media gateways – deployed in more than 45 nations – reduce costs and boost performance. The company’s Tmedia gateways – such as the TMG3200 Series, shown at right – offer a pre-integrated media gateway platform that developers can use to create innovative VoIP solutions.

 

Next week, TelcoBridges’ (News - Alert) director of sales support, Marc St-Onge, is leading a free Webinar to talk about the Tmedia products – which also will be on display in booth 915 at the Internet Telephony Conference & Expo from Feb. 2 to 4 in Miami.

 

Register here for the Webinar, “Leveraging the Benefits of High Density Media Gateways,” to be held at 2 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

 

During the event, CTOs, CEOs, system integrators, project managers and service providers will learn how a carrier-grade media gateway’s features can help lower capital expenditures and reduce operational expenses, and how high-density media gateways can enable new services in service provider networks.

 

A question-and-answer session will follow St-Onge’s talk, which is being moderated by TMCnet Group Manager Editor Erik Linask (News - Alert).
