IP telephony is one of the most perspective directions in today's telecom market. PhoenixBird builds VoIP software systems and develops firmware (microcode) for VoIP hardware equipment.

Here are a few examples of VoIP components that PhoenixBird offers to build:

GLOBAL VoIP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (“SoftSwitch”)

SoftSwitch is a software system for managing VoIP hardware gateways and is used to replace traditional hardware 5ESS voice switches that are widely used today.

Primary functions include:

(Management of VoIP streams, Call routing, Call redirecting, and Call related features)

SoftSwitch is a multi-functional system with built-in billing, provisisoning, performance monitoring, and fault management capabilities.

This type of system is capable of providing 99.999% availability.

ENTERPRISE VoIP MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Enterprise VoIP Management system is a software system that manages intra-enterprise and long distance / international VoIP telephony calls, and provides: "Smart" call forwarding, Voice messaging system, Call-related and interoperability features including interconnection with cell phones.

The system will provide management functions for VoIP networks such as network provisioning, performance monitoring, surveillance, billing, and security management.

VoIP HARDWARE TELEPHONE A VoIP

telephone can replace the original telephone currently present in every home and office. The VoIP phone will have an Ethernet (LAN) interface eliminating the need for using local telephone networks. The VoIP phone has improved sound quality and other advantages over a regular phone- such as web browsing, instant messaging, and e-mail.

ENTERPRISE VoIP PC-CLIENT

The PC-client is a software component that provides regular and special call-related features such as call logs, voice-mail browsing, rule-based call redirection, etc. The client will have a new level of interoperability between their phone and computer:

(E-mail to voice-mail interconnect, Instant messaging Palm pilot & Blackberry, and Integration with office phone systems).

CENTEX SYSTEM

IP Centrex system is a critical component required for outsourcing telephony management from medium and large enterprises to telecommunications providers. IP Centrex is analogous to a Class-4 switch, used in traditional (PSTN) telephony, with several advantages: no separate wires are needed, enhanced feature set, reduced local and long distance charges, etc. PhoenixBird can implement the software and firmware (microcode) components for an enterprise IP Centrex solution.

ENTERPRISE VoIP PBX

The enterprise VoIP PBX will replace the widely used PSTN PBX. Since VoIP technology provides many advantages over traditional (PSTN) telephony, such as lower local and long-distance calling prices, and easier maintenance and management, there is no need for a separate transport network. VoIP PBX is becoming more and more popular today. In addition, VoIP PBX will have more features and better sound quality compared to traditional PSTN PBX. A very important VoIP PBX advantage is stronger security of voice streams and voice mail encryption. CyberVision can implement the software and firmware (microcode) components for an enterprise VoIP PBX solution.

VoIP to WIRELESS BRIDGE

The Bridge provides interoperability between the Internet and wireless networks allowing cell phones to communicate with VoIP telephones. 3rd generation wireless networks (3G) will use the VoIP capabilities extensively, not only for voice communications, but also for video and audio conferencing, e-mail and instant messaging interconnect, call redirection/duplication and answering functions. PhoenixBird can implement the software and firmware (microcode) components for an enterprise VoIP to Wireless Bridge solution.

RESIDENTIAL VoIP GATEWAY

A VoIP residential gateway will support IP-telephony services for apartment complexes and large residential or small-office buildings. The gateway interconnects regular (PSTN) local telephone networks with VoIP networks. The gateway has "smart" call routing functionality with a module for optimizing local and long-distance calling prices. The gateway also includes provisioning and billing functionality. PhoenixBird can implement the software and firmware (microcode) components for a Residential VoIP gateway.

PSTN to VoIP PC CARD

This card will connect a regular telephone to a personal computer and will integrate it with IP-telephony. Moreover, it can simultaneously connect multiple regular telephone lines (up to 4), providing a low cost alternative to creating a multi-line phone system for the home. PhoenixBird can develop the card firmware (microcode) and software application (PC-client).

FULL-SCALE VoIP SOLUTIONS

A full-scale VoIP solution integrates network equipment, consumer equipment, software systems and desktop applications. This solution covers all major elements of the telephony market:

(Equipment and Software systems for IP-telephony providers, Equipment and Software systems for enterprises, Equipment and Software for wireless operators, and Equipment and Applications for consumers).

The Full-Scale solution reduces initial deployment costs by using a single vendor to provide all components needed for VoIP. The Full-Scale solution significantly improves the VoIP network management by eliminating interoperability-testing and having a single source for support.

IP-telephony service providers can benefit from deploying the Full-Scale VoIP solution:

- RBOCs and other major carriers will be able to compete with each other in the local telephony market. Provide residential RBOCs customers extra features like using virtual office for workers that telecommute.

- Cable companies can unite voice, video and data on integrated broadband access and transport networks, delivering high-speed and reliable communication services with the lowest total investment costs.

- Large enterprises can reduce telephony operational costs. VoIP allows businesses to talk to other branches over corporate Intranets using IP-phones. They will also be able to use IP-telephony for long distance and international calls, which will result in significant savings. In addition, the Full-Scale VoIP solution provides better control for enterprise telephone system than the traditional PBX.

Wireless communication carries can combine their data and voice networks increasing capacities and improving performance. By using the Full-Scale solution, the cost of wireless network support and maintenance is significantly reduced.
