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. About Diversified
