VoX Communications Provides VoIP Platform and Video Communications Technology Update

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., June 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pervasip Corp. (OTCQB: PVSP) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, VoX Communications, a leading provider of wholesale Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) cloud-based telephony solutions, has developed and deployed several video technology additions to its award winning VoIP technology platform.

Pervasip's Chief Information Officer, Mark Richards, noted, "We continue to use our expertise in cloud-based telephony and VoIP to bring exciting and innovative features to our products and platform. Already in 2011 we have developed significant video capabilities to our technology and we are excited to share this progress with our shareholders."

VoX's VoIP platform has demonstrated that it is extremely stable and scalable, with high quality voice traffic. It is relatively inexpensive to scale because it uses a Linux-based server cluster. VoX mastered VoIP load balancing and virtual servers very early in its evolution and is capable of adding features to its platform very quickly.  An example of this ability is the recent development of video support and features for the Worldgate Ojo Vision video phone that VoX is now selling. This offering is currently being evaluated by several Fortune 500 companies and management anticipates it will shortly be offered by some large marketing agencies.

Most telecom companies assemble pieces of equipment together to build a VoIP offering, typically buying equipment from Sonus or Cisco and other large companies, with as many as seven or eight different vendors. When a VoIP company uses this strategy, it loses the ability to evolve and control that "purchased" platform. VoX's approach is antithetical to this typical telecom model as it built its own code, and together with strategic choices of innovative open source projects, it is able to fully control its development destiny.  When VoX wants to develop new "personalities," which are new features on its platform, the "personalities" can be deployed very quickly to VoX's virtual server farm, remotely and effectively, anywhere that VoX has equipment "in the cloud" (on the Internet). Some of the "components” of this video service offering, have also been designed to be used in other initiatives that the company is exploring in the social media space.

"If we look at our video features as an example," continued Richards, "VoX engineers developed video voice mail for the Ojo Vision, something that is actually very difficult to do. If we design with the atomic components in mind, we are able to break down video voicemail to smaller components. We can 'record' a video message, and we can 'play' a video message. Then we can 'store' a video message in the cloud on our server farm. Once we had this, we were able to build code to allow anyone in a corporate environment to send that video message to other video phones deployed in their network, even thousands of phones via pre set 'groups.'   This cannot be done on any other technology that we know of – and is certainly not available in the currently deployed email and 'office' type solutions.  With our technology, a CEO can address employees all over the world with a video message, a large company can announce its latest products and services to its distribution network, or a company may decide to give away the video phone service in exchange for video advertising to the video phone.  The possibilities are endless."  

In the analysis of the atomic components of H.264 video and voice, VoX was able to understand the timing complexities that are responsible for voice and video synchronization. The lack of understanding of the atomic components is one of the reasons that other video products have a problem with keeping the voice and video in sync – it is not Internet lag, or "latency" – it is that the engineers did not initially take the time to write the code to keep the voice and video components in sync.

Richards continued, "In working with the Ojo Vision, we took many new paths that helped us understand what we can do with video that we have not seen yet in the industry.  We are able to join one or more parties in a video conference or 'room.'  We are also able to 'stitch' multiple video streams so that they would present as one stream. This type of ability is an absolute must if you are trying to do live social communicating because the end user perceives a room full of people, whereas you are really only streaming one video stream that just happens to have 10 or 20 'sub-frames' within it.  We have also been able to generate soft load menus that run on the video phone that can be used to dial any media streamed from our own media servers similar to what Netflix does today. Today we are playing movies and advertising back to the phone. This technology was used to allow GlobalPreneurs to deliver marketing videos playing directly on the phone, not needing to reference to the web or other marketing collateral. We are very excited at the capacities these 'technology bites' allow us to build. Suffice is to say that the imagineering team at VoX is hard at work packaging some of this ability.

"We also are looking very carefully at recent developments with Google's WebRTC, which we feel could be significant to companies like VoX that have video capabilities that scale. WebRTC and new protocols like Jingle are potential new building blocks that may become the next personalities deployed to the cloud and enable all kinds of new social media tools.

"With VoX's evolving video and VoIP toolbox, we believe we are positioned to be at the forefront of what is likely to be an explosive market in Video Telepresence, live social and other fixed and mobile VoIP developments.

"While we plan to continue for the rest of 2011 with our development work with the Ojo Vision, we also see our mobile VoIP products coming back into play and being even more relevant in 2012 when we expect mass adoption of better smart phone clients capable of tighter integration with the VoX video and VoIP services. We initially were very early to market with mobile VoIP but it was not well understood and still isn't, though we do see an increase in demand for mobile VoIP due to the rapid adoption of smart phones.

"Ideally we would like the brand to be VoX, but our ability to brand our solutions enables us to partner with others to create their own brand and enter the mobile space. Further network developments in both 3G and 4G in the U.S. and Canada are also feeding the mobile VoIP revolution and we believe will continue to do so even more rapidly in 2012 and 2013.

"As we look to the rest of 2011 and beyond, the VoX technical team is very excited at our potential to innovate and empower the next wave of cloud-based communications."
