Avinta
Communications Inc. is launching their second and third generation of technology
products combining Voice and Data Networking at CES 2001, January, in Las
Vegas.
With
the initial acceptance of Avinta's modular line of products; TriVOX and
TriNET, Avinta has now moved to the next generation of AvintaNET products,
featuring multi-line technology and a proprietary technology which merges
the Voice and Data networking coordination point into the telephone set,
rather than the computer. This is directed to the average user who may
not be comfortable with the complexities of a computer directing their
voice communication.
Dubbed
Telephone Computer Integration (TCI), Avinta's approach reverses the idea
of using the computer as the control point for a telephone and/or data
network.
Abe
Chen, COO and Founder of Avinta Communications states; "The large
market for the Home and Small Office Voice and Data Network product has
been identified for several years. However, the Computer Telephony Integration
(CTI) solution and centralized PBX networks have not proven user-friendly
for the mass market. Avinta uses the traditional telephone instrument to
coordinate the networking functions for both Voice and Data. The result
is to make the PC a peripheral to the phone. This provides the end-user
with a familiar device to control a complex network.
The
Avinta technology works on existing phone lines and with existing phones.
The new generation products allow a phone manufacturer to incorporate AvintaNET
technology into a traditional corded or cordless phone. The third generation
technology completes the progression and provides a phone which will enhance
broadband connections for the end-user as well as provide the dPABX and
Data network merger.
Don
Wellington, Vice President of Sales & Marketing adds: " With
our AvintaNET Plus technology, a consumer will be able to easily and quickly
benefit from the xDSL, Cable, Wireless or Fiber Optic connectivity, with
a user installable Voice and Data Network. The phone plugs into the existing
phone line, the computer plugs into the phone and all the advantages of
the high speed connection are accessible; simultaneous internet connectivity
between computers, dPABX network among the phones, access to the digital
voice channels from DSL or other broadband formats. This is accomplished
without any expensive centralized hardware, and with little complex computer
set-ups."
Abe
Chen concludes:
"We know where the Operating companies are heading with
their priorities. We see the communications manufacturers developing their
"Gateway" solutions to be implemented at the connection point of the home
or office. Avinta focuses inside the premises to provide the average consumer
a quick and easy plug-in phone and data network technology which will not
be obsoleted, and can work with the planned "Gateway" products."
Avinta
Communications will be demonstrating their solutions at CES from Jan 6th
- 9th, 2001 in Meeting Room M-21 at the Las Vegas Convention
Center. Visit their website for more information www.avinta.com
