GateHouse Manages The Flow Of Shipping Traffic With Brooktrout's TR1000 Media Resource Platform

NEEDHAM, MA (ots)

Brooktrout Technology, Inc. a leading provider
of innovative hardware and software platforms that enable
applications for the New Network(tm), today announced that GateHouse
A/S, an independent developer of technical software for the
telecommunications and space industries, has developed a
communications system using Brooktrout's TR1000(tm) media resource
platform to manage the flow of shipping traffic along the Rhine, one
of Europe's busiest rivers.
The ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications system consists
of a ten-mile (16Km) long network of low-powered transmitters linked
together by ISDN leased lines installed along the banks of the Rhine
near Nijmegen. At the heart of the system is a digital switch powered
by Brooktrout's TR1000 platform. The system automatically routes
calls through the best available receiver and on to the radio
operators. At each working position, the work channel is recorded and
the audio files are accessible in near real-time. Traffic controllers
can replay part of a call that might, for example, contain cargo data
that they can then enter into the registration database.
Brooktrout's TR1000 is used to record voice messages that can be
broadcast to all traffic or to the traffic in a particular river
sector. The TR1000 media resource platform is full-featured with
enhanced conferencing support and call control, plus the highest
level of on-the-board echo cancellation available, which provides the
system with clearer communications and recordings.
"We selected Brooktrout's TR1000 platform because of the advanced
recording and conferencing features that provide a degree of call
routing flexibility not often seen in coast station communications
systems," said Lars Mohr Jensen, project manager of GateHouse.
"Throughout the project, Brooktrout provided exceptional professional
assistance and guidance, allowing us to complete the project on
schedule."
The TR1000 platform is an open systems, board-level platform for
carrier-grade enhanced services applications. The TR1000 platform is
available in a variety of configurations, ideally suited for advanced
messaging, conferencing, speech recognition and fax applications.
"This GateHouse communications system is an excellent example of
how standards-based technology can help speed time to market for new
applications," said Peter Vescuso, vice president of Market
Development for Brooktrout Technology. "By relying on Brooktrout's
TR1000 media platform, Gatehouse was able to re-allocate their
engineering resources to develop the additional features and
functionality required, allowing them to complete the project on
time."
