net.com Partners With Diversified Technology to Develop WHISPER,
a Secure Mobile VoIP Platform
Focus on Delivering Highly Mobile VoIP Based on the SHOUTIP Open Telephony
Platform
FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- net.com (NYSE:NWK) and
Diversified Technology, LLC announced today that they have teamed to develop a
new solution, the WHISPER platform, to support secure, mobile VoIP capabilities
based on net.com's award winning SHOUTIP technology for IP telephony.
The new Diversified Technology WHISPER Mobile VoIP system, a companion product
to the existing net.com SHOUT900 system, leverages net.com's powerful IP
telephony tools, including secure VoIP capability for STUII, STUIII and FNBDT
(future narrowband data communications) with a new, smaller physical hardware
design from the team at Diversified. WHISPER, running the same software as the
net.com SHOUT900, enables mobile and remote users to benefit from the strengths
of the SHOUTIP platform without having to be tethered to an equipment rack or a
fixed location.
This development project, in process throughout 2004, is the result of direct
customer feedback for an expansion of the application of the SHOUTIP platform
in response to net.com's customers' evolving mission requirements. The target
customer base includes mobile command centers, battlefield operations and
emergency response/restoration teams that have been looking for a means to take
the SHOUTIP architecture into the mobile realm. A typical installation of
WHISPER would involve multiple mobile units, networked together and connected
to a centralized net.com VoIP installation via Diversified's mobile
communications reachback system.
"Our goal in working with net.com has been to leverage our experience in mobile
product packaging onto the SHOUTIP platform for IP telephony - specifically
designing a product that would allow net.com to penetrate the mobile VoIP
market," said Robert Denson, President of Diversified Technology.
"Whisper is smaller and lighter, consumes less power, and includes a rugged
packaging option, thus making it ideal for remote secure mobile voice
communications over the Internet. We are excited to work with Diversified to
broaden our capabilities for bringing SHOUTIP technology to the expanding VoIP
marketplace," said Bert Whyte, president and CEO of net.com.
WHISPER provides full support for net.com's SHOUTIP software in a mobile
package that weighs less than 10 lbs. With a form factor that is 3.5" x 10" x
13.5" and an integrated wide-range, low-draw DC input, WHISPER is ideal for
vehicle integration as well as integration into Diversified's line of mobile
flyaway reachback solutions.
Presently undergoing final field tests, the product is scheduled for general
availability in Q1 of 2005. Pricing has not yet been released.
