VOCAL Technologies (News - Alert) has introduced scalable modular software stack with support for ECM, fax document feature, and high density V.34 fax protocol capability.

For a modem used on General Switched Telephone Networks (GSTNs) and on point-to-point 2-wire leased telephone-type circuits, V.34 defines the modulation methods and operating sequences. Both full duplex and half-duplex modes are supported. It also supports data rates in the range of 2400 bps to 33600 bps, in incremental steps of 2400 bps. Symbol rates of 2400, 2743, 2800, 3000, 3200, and 3429 symbols per second are supported.

VOCAL’s experience in providing V.34 fax technology and all major platforms allows their designs to meet the increasing demands for both large and small companies. The portability and field proven features of the company’s software assists companies, like Axacore, rapidly develop reliable products to satisfy their customer requirements.

Designed to customer specific requirements, VOCAL's reference designs are scalable. Technical personnel can offer the level of support required to assure timely project completion, the company stated in a press release.

“Enterprise and ISP customers need a reliable, scalable and field proven product that grows with their business. They want V.34 fax throughput (33.6kbps versus 14.4kbps for V.17) to efficiently handle large volumes of faxes transmitted each day. V.34 really makes a difference for Financial and Health Care customers who fax 50+ page documents on a regular basis,” stated Nick Basil, CTO at Axacore.

In 2009, the company unveiled its new RAS Over IP (RASoIP) device and service platform which replaces telephone network Remote Access Servers for data and facsimile applications. VOCAL stated that the change to the various X-over-IP methods has captured a huge number of the low hanging fruit leaving many disconnected islands behind. VOCAL’S RAS Over IP technology lets the conversion of all the remaining standards-based communications to use the ever ubiquitous Internet.
