 Twisted Pair Solutions Announces General Availability of WAVE 4.0WAVE 4.0 is optimized for solutions developers and adds support for the Linux operating system to complement the existing Windows audio processing engine. The enhanced SDK also offers a full set of .NET APIs. With WAVE, Twisted Pair development partners have the flexibility to build client applications using either .NET or Java. A Nortel Compatible Product, WAVE introduces a Nortel IP Phone Communicator client, integrates with Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS), and supports Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). “This release is all about extending the capabilities and value of unified communications applications and platforms,” said Tom Guthrie, President and CEO at Twisted Pair Solutions. “Only with WAVE can large enterprises easily integrate two-way radio systems with Microsoft unified communications technology and Nortel VoIP communications solutions for greatly increased worker efficiency, productivity and collaboration.” WAVE software powers some of the world’s most advanced VoIP applications with a highly secure and flexible solution for unified group communications. Using standard IP networks as the unifying medium, WAVE allows disparate communications systems such as radios, analog and new IP phone systems, PCs and PDAs to all interoperate seamlessly. Twisted Pair’s distinct software-based approach to interoperability not only allows enterprises to leverage their existing hardware resources, but also develop customized solutions. Enhanced features in WAVE 4.0: Standards-based IP Telephony WAVE 4.0 provides IP telephony support using SIP for interoperability with the industry’s leading IP telephony providers. Backward compatibility with legacy H.323 systems is maintained and WAVE’s modular architecture allows businesses to leverage either IP telephony standard. Tighter Integration with Microsoft Environments In WAVE 4.0, the WAVE Web Communicator can be embedded directly into a Microsoft OCS 2007 desktop client or SharePoint® Web page, allowing users to access any other WAVE communications endpoint with a simple click. In addition, WAVE already supports Windows XP, Windows Server System™ 2003, Active Directory®, and Windows Mobile® 5.0 and 6.0. Increased Support for Nortel IP Telephony The new Nortel IP Phone Communicator client allows WAVE users to access the full power of WAVE directly from select Nortel IP handsets. WAVE 4.0 is a “Nortel Compatible Product,” having been verified as compatible with Business Communications Manager 50 (BCM50) release 3.0 and Communication Server 1000 (CS 1000) release 5.5 via Nortel IP Phone 1140E and IP Phone 1150E. Mobile Device Support WAVE 4.0 extends Microsoft unified communications technology to new devices, including PTT radios, intercoms, and hoot and holler networks. This strong integration allows organizations to leverage existing investments in mobile devices, including PDAs with Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0. Broader Gateway Support WAVE 4.0 includes interoperability with two additional partner-developed radio gateway devices, the AM360r from VoiceInterop and the RIU gateway from C4i, Inc. Enhanced Network Management Tools WAVE 4.0 extends the inherent capability of Windows simple network management protocol (SNMP) and provides the ability to monitor WAVE components as part of an overall network management system (NMS). Extended SDK Support for Developers WAVE 4.0 provides the tools and sample applications Microsoft developers need to create customized interoperability and unified communications solutions. Developers can use the WAVE SDK with .NET APIs to build market- and customer-specific solutions. Moreover, businesses can leverage the SDK in conjunction with the Windows Workflow Foundation to build automated communications-enabled business processes. In addition, using a Linux engine, developers can build WAVE clients using existing Java APIs. The WAVE Solution Developer Program provides developers with the tools and support they need to try, build and sell customized solutions that leverage the power of WAVE unified group communications.
