I am regularly asked questions from customers wanting to WebRTC-enable their existing or new deployments. If this applies to you, then why not make life easy for yourself and take a good look at the Dialogic PowerVille Load Balancer (LB)?  Whether you are looking to complement your existing solutions with WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications) technology or deploy an exciting new service in your network, the PowerVille LB should be a key enabling technology in your solution.

If you’ve spent time in or around the telecom industry, then you’ve inevitably heard the term ‘Least Cost Routing (LCR)’. If not, here you go:

Access to the internet has never been easier. Your phone has wifi data while at home and wireless data while on the go. Your favorite café and store offer wifi to guests. Your work files can be accessed remotely from across the world. While we can access whatever we want from wherever we want, there needs to be restrictions set in place to regulate who and what is being accessed. Controls, whether it be parental, employer, or business, are becoming increasingly important.

I was driving to work this week and encountered a fair bit of traffic one morning.  I would imagine many of us do to one extent or another.  I often deal with some that seems to always occur in certain parts of my commute, though on this day the traffic was unbearable.

One of the latest technologies we’ve seen making its way to the market is the connected car. This technology provides consumers with increased comfort, vehicle analytics, and most importantly, enhanced safety features. While these features in and of themselves are impressive, the potential to do more is huge. By connecting solutions like the connected car with consumers’ smart phones and smart homes, for example, we can add tremendous value and improve overall user experience. This is where DialogicONE steps in.

The challenge from our communication service provider customers is very clear – we need new applications and services to protect and grow ARPU.  We need differentiated new offerings that go beyond connectivity and security of our networks.  We need to launch new solutions much faster than before.  We need to compete on more than just price.  And my favorite ask – we need access to the latest digital technologies, so that our solutions include an exceptional user experience.

Enterprise communications are on the cusp of a revolutionary transformation as advanced technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, including AI-assisted search, and virtual and augmented reality arrive to solve real-world collaboration challenges while enabling new services and capabilities.

UCaaS is growing as more and more organizations look to take advantage of improved agility, access to new collaboration features, and reduce costs by shifting their unified communications platforms to the cloud. As a result, UCaaS offerings are rapidly expanding both from traditional service providers looking to expand their business portfolios as well as from over-the-top software-as-a-service vendors building their UCaaS offerings from scratch. Succeeding in this growing, and increasingly competitive market, means successfully aligning your offerings with buyer demand.

When my daughters were younger, I remember getting them a secret agent kit. One of the activities in the kit was to build a cipher wheel, which basically consisted of a smaller disk and larger disk fastened together. In my daughters’ kit, both disks had the alphabet printed on them, but they could also contain numbers or symbols. Once  a cipher key was selected, for example, the letter 'O' on the inner disk might correspond to the letter 'J' on the outer disk, my daughters then had a pattern set up that allowed them encode and decode secret messages.

I am currently reading the book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari. It's a great read on humanity and evolution. One interesting detail is that there were several different species of humans that lived on the earth. Eventually all other species disappeared. Homo sapiens won out in the end, but why?
