RebelVox Joins ng Connect Program to Drive Innovation in Voice Communications for Next Generation Networks
San Francisco, California (July 28, 2009)–RebelVox LLC today announced it is joining the ng Connect Program to work with member companies to drive the development and deployment of innovative voice application solutions.
“RebelVox is a new way for people to talk to each other. We started from scratch and challenged all of our preconceived notions in order to build a system that makes everyone as efficient as they want to be,” stated Tom Katis, CEO, RebelVox LLC.
RebelVox’s patent-pending technology merges the best attributes of instant messaging, email, and the telephone including live voice, voice messages, text and other media. Depending on how users want to interact, RebelVox software can enable the experience of a PTT radio, a full duplex telephone call or an IM session. If the recipient is not listening live, the experience is more like IM or email. Users can be confident that they won’t miss anything, and they can prioritize their attention.
“We are excited to be working with ng Connect Program partner companies to rapidly evolve innovative solutions that will optimize the user communication experience. Current and next generation broadband IP networks have the power to support radical changes in the way communications work. Together we will bring significantly differentiated applications to market,” stated Mary Panttaja, Vice President, Product Management, RebelVox LLC.
RebelVox technology is applicable to tactical (defense and public safety) radio communications, business communications, as well as consumer Internet and telephony. RebelVox will license its technology to partners who want to incorporate its capabilities into their applications and devices.
"The ng Connect Program offers a rich environment within which we are fostering the development of innovative services for next generation networks. We believe our ecosystem of members will set a new standard for the industry in terms of technology and service innovation. The Program enables participants to collaborate in the creation of innovative user experiences that leverage a comprehensive understanding of how end users truly interact with their devices, networks and applications. We're pleased to have RebelVox join us to collaborate on the next generation of connected voice solutions,” said Derek Kuhn, Vice President of Emerging Technology & Media at Alcatel-Lucent, a founding member of the ng Connect Program.
