VOCAL Introduces High-Performance, Low-Cost ATA Solution for VoIP Market

 VOCAL's 2x2+1 ATA Solution Offers Highly Configurable, Low-Cost Hardware and
           Software Reference Design to OEMs and Service Providers

    BUFFALO, N.Y., Oct. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- VOCAL Technologies, Ltd., a leading
developer of software and hardware solutions for the communications industry,
announced a compact, configurable analog telephone adapter (ATA) hardware and
software reference design platform targeted at the growing market for low-
cost, top quality VoIP devices.
    Unlike traditional architectures, VOCAL's ATA hardware and software
designs fully utilize modern DSP resources and advanced patent-pending
algorithms to eliminate the need for an additional RISC processor, reducing
the cost of typical building materials by as much as $8 per design. The
solution is ideal for VoIP equipment suppliers desiring to add a low-cost,
compact ATA solution to their portfolios.
    VOCAL's 2x2+1 ATA solution supports up to two telephone lines, two
Ethernet ports and a PSTN life-line port for automated voice service switching
in case of a power outage or network disconnection and is stackable to larger
port configurations. End users can connect their homes and businesses to VoIP
services using conventional wired and cordless phones without incurring
additional monthly service fees or adding extra hardware. The VOCAL 2x2+1 ATA
solution initiates calls using the rapidly emerging IP telephony standard
Session Initiation Protocol (SIPv2) and supports multiple advanced codecs to
optimize performance. For VoIP service providers looking for a design that is
easily configurable with their networks, the solution provides secure and
sophisticated Web-based provisioning and firmware update technology.
    The VOCAL 2x2+1 ATA solution is reconfigurable in the field and designed
to give OEMs and service providers the ability to bring their products to
market quickly and deploy them with immediate interoperability in most
broadband VoIP service provider networks. OEM customers can also take
advantage of VOCAL's high-end customization capabilities, including reference
design assistance and integration of value-added features.
    "With the VOCAL 2x2+1 ATA solution, VOCAL is delivering what VoIP service
providers desire most: high performance, full featured ATAs at lower cost,"
said CTO Victor Demjanenko. "VOCAL's extensive engineering experience has
allowed us to substantially cut the price of ATAs by using patent-pending
algorithms and protocols accumulated over the course of nearly 20 years.  As
for footprint, one of our licensees has already implemented a 2x1 ATA on a 9.5
square inch board."
    VOCAL will showcase the 2x2+1 at booth # 426 during the Fall 2004 VON
Conference & Expo taking place in Boston, Oct. 18-23.
