San Francisco — March 25, 2008 — Global IP Solutions (GIPS) the leading provider of high-quality IP multimedia processing solutions, announced today that PIVOTEC, a major Korean ICT service provider, has become the first implementer of GIPS VoiceEngine Multimedia in Asia. GIPS licensed VoiceEngine™ Multimedia enhanced with GIPS LSVX codec, which is being deployed in PIVOTEC’s web-based real-time video application - Mi-Meeting ROMARO, targeting the on-line education solution market.

“We had been using H.264 before trialing GIPS VoiceEngine Multimedia with its LSVX codec. The enhanced voice and video quality, under packet loss conditions, that GIPS delivered to Mi-Meeting ROMARO was a compelling improvement,” said Doug Ahn, Senior Vice President of Pivotec. ”Our clients have come to expect superior performance from PIVOTEC’s web conferencing solution. We are confident that by implementing GIPS best-in-class technologies we are providing them with the very best user experience available today.”

PIVOTEC’s key customers include major telcos and large enterprises that typically take the solution and provide services to third parties. For PIVOTEC and its customers, quality is the driving force behind their success.

“Application developers and service providers such as PIVOTEC need to guarantee that their multimedia offerings are meeting clients’ expectations,” said Steve Rust, Global IP Solutions vice president, Business Development. “GIPS VoiceEngine Multimedia provides PIVOTEC with a complete solution that will keep pace with the ever-demanding and increasing requirements of the market as video users are increasingly requiring better speed, visual quality, reliability and consistency while providing more efficient CPU usage. GIPS meets these demanding market requirements as it’s specifically designed for IP networks.”

GIPS VoiceEngine Multimedia is a high-quality media processing framework specifically designed for IP networks and provides superior robustness against packet loss and the better visual quality mandated for real-time IP communications. With the additions of GIPS LSVX video codec, RAM and CPU usage is shown to be less intensive when compared against popular standard video codec implementations.
