CHINA TELECOM CHOOSES RADVISION'S H.323 TECHNOLOGY
TO DEVELOP VOICE OVER IP SOLUTIONS
FIRST COMMERCIAL IP TELEPHONY SYSTEM TO BE DEVELOPED BY CHINA TELECOM
WILL USE RADVISION'S AWARD-WINNING H.323 ENABLING SOFTWARE
Mahwah, NJ, April 12, 2000 -RADVision (NASDAQ:RVSN), the leading provider of
industry-standard products and technology for real-time voice and video
communication over IP, today announced a licensing agreement under which China
Telecom will license RADVision's market leading H.323 enabling software for the
development of the first IP telephony system in China.
China Telecom plans to create a VoIP communication solution that will be used by
call center developers, ISPs, and enterprise clients. The network will be
interoperable across all major platforms. China Telecom's long-term strategy is
to migrate China's TDN telephony system to an IP system. By replacing the
backbone exchange, China Telecom will have the first IP telephony system in
China to be based on industry-standard IP technology for real-time communication
over packet-based networks.
According to Bruce BaiQing, Engineering Director of the project at China
Telecom, "For our project, it was important to use an enabling software that has
been market tested for interoperability and reliability, and provides
compatibility across the broadest cross section of multi-vendor products.
RADVision's technology meets our requirements."
"China Telecom has a vision for the future of communications in China and we are
very pleased they chose to use RADVision's core technology to make their vision
a reality," said Shykeh Gordon, VP Worldwide Sales. "The China Telecom project
is a very important and exciting large scale effort. They will be able to reduce
their time to market by using our proven technology building blocks, and their
engineering teams can focus their energies on creating innovations for the next
generation of carrier-class networks."
RADVision's H.323 enabling technology will enhance China Telecom's VoIP
Communication System by providing flexibility across numerous platforms and
support for a rich set of IP telephony features needed by call center developers
for computer telephony integration (CTI) functionality.
