Keyspan VP-24 A Cordless VoIP Phone Review.

For those who want a VoIP handset but have an aversion for cords, the Keyspan VP-24A is a good option. . Keyspan VP-24A voip handset is compatible with PC and Mac. Installing it is so easy, just simply insert the CD to your PC or mac, Plug the USB dongle, after fiddling the AAA size Ni-MH rechargeable batteries into the phone. Press a button on the dongle, and hold the phone near to the PC or mac to establish a connection. After this, you can now make unlimited voip calls. This portable phone of about 116.7 mm in length, 50.3 mm in width, 25.5mm in height and weighs just 92g with battery, fitting nicely in the palm.
VP-24A receives via 2.4 GHz wireless signal with good sound quality at both ends and you can easly adjust the real time volume control to suit your taste. When fully charged it's battery can accommodate 15 hrs of talk time and 1200 hrs stand by time. This voip phone is easier to install than most wifi phones and those that use skype often and like the traditional phone style of making phone calls from the PC would find it more interesting, since you can juggle two incoming calls and can even start a second call while you are still in conversation with your first caller or use the assigned skype speed dials.
This phone is a voip phone to have, but one mistake from the manufacturers which they need to adjust is this, the phone doesn't show contacts status, whether the status is set to away, not available or don't disturb, you wouldnt know and this can really be embarrasing when you mistaken falls into a person who cares about status criteria.

The conference (cisco networkers) is one of the most important event in the industry for networking practitioners which also offers a vital chance to get updated on the latest developments, technologies and products. In the words of bernd ottow, product line manager voip at ASC, ”ffering a sound product line to cisco users, enables us to provide unparalleled proprietary features. Therefore, a synergy is created between ASC and CISCO for their customers.
ASC intends to exhibit high class and sophisticated voip recording solution, faultlessly incorporated into cisco´s environment, at the conference. Cisco through its cisco technology developer programme approved the Evoip active and Evoip+. They were also certified for interoperability with cisco call manager. The two devices also contain multiple recording profiles, web based search and replay functions and phone applications.
The device ( ASC Solutions) also offers recording and analysis of all electronic communications and customer interactions. The values on offer are voip recording, liability recording for public safety agencies, government agencies and financial institutions, guaranty control for systematic evaluation and analysis of the total process of communication and speech process which involves content analysis with the aid of keyword spotting, detection of emotion and speaker recognition based on the recording of spoken words.
The voip recording solution by ASC for cisco are only software based and do not use proprietary hardware. They are linked directly with cisco call manager to record both voiceand call index data and are crafted to decode cisco's SCCP, broadly called the “skinny protocol” and cisco's SIP (Session Initiation Protocol).
The two latest innovations by ASC – Evoip active and Evoip+ for cisco provides a totally integrated voip recording suite for cisco products. Evoip+ referred to as gateway side recording, measures the local area network traffic through the connection to PSTN or connection to another IP telephony network. It analyzes SCCP and SIP for bulk or selective recording of external calls.
The device ( Evoip+) also called station side recording taps the local area network connection to every Internet protocol phone, it also analyzes SCCP and SIP protocol for bulk or selective recording of both internal and external calls.
The second device – Evoip active particularly for specialized recording, its also installable at any point in the IP network without the IP apparatus. It is capable of recording calls through. Its conference call and it is recommended for recording of internal or external communication on demand.

EYEBALL VOIP COMPANY LAUNCHES ANYFIREWALL ENGINE, GOES INTO AGREEMENT LICENSE WITH NOKIA

VoIP call completion company, EYEBALL has finally launched Anyfirewall engine; it comprises of a firewall and Network address translation (NAT) traversal SDK that incorporates the construction of TURN, ICE and STUN. With Anyfirewall server, the engine ensures 100% call finishing for voice over internet protocol phones, applications and services.
The rapid elevation of internet has cause a global shortage of IP addresses. ISPs, enterprises and home routers manover this trouble by using NAT to hide different private addresses in one single public address which interferes with voip calls. Chris Piche, the CEO of Eyeball says " until now firewall and NAT traversal has been the biggest obstacle to voip adoption, we have pionnered voip call completion since 2001 and we are happy to introduce and release it to partners worldwide". He further stated "we are going into agreement to license our product into Nokia's smartphones, voip infrastructures, IMS, WiFi and WiMax deployments" He concluded.
Vice president of marketing and sales network at Nokia says Nokia is embracing the vision of telecommunications that IP is making available. Eyeball's Anyfirewall Engine and server is currently available for deployment and licensing and as many subscribers demand IP connectivity features in FMC phones, firewall and NAT traversal will become an industrial issue for mobile phones users.
