Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Brooktrout Technology, a leading supplier of media processing and call control products, has announced new low-density versions of its award-winning TR1000 voice platform. The new versions, designed for enterprise voice applications, offer enhanced high-level call control and additional operating system support, allowing application vendors to streamline development, deploy broadly, and support their products more cost-effectively. The TR1000 platform now includes a full range of configurations for customers developing interactive voice response (IVR), automatic speech recognition (ASR), voice mail, and unified messaging applications.

Key Takeaways:

  • The new TR1000 versions include analog and ISDN basic rate interface (BRI) versions, in addition to the existing T1/E1 versions, offering a full range of configurations for customers developing IVR, ASR, voice mail, and unified messaging applications.
  • The feature-rich TR1000 includes enhanced high-level call control and additional operating system support, allowing vendors to scale systems in both density and functionality to meet the evolving needs of advanced enterprise applications.
  • All TR1000 models share one application programming interface (API) that allows vendors to eliminate redundant development and deploy a single program executable, making it easy to install and configure in enterprise environments.
  • The TR1000 offers a high-level call control syntax that abstracts different forms of PSTN call control, making it easy to integrate with a growing list of speech technologies and platforms, including VoiceGenie's VoiceXML Gateway.
  • The TR1000 has been integrated with speech recognition software that operates much more scalably and efficiently, thanks to Brooktrout's distinctive audio scrubbing technology.
  • The new developer program, Brooktrout Net, provides new developers with a host of benefits, including access to top-notch support, straightforward programming interfaces, and a virtual snap to integrate with other technologies.
  • The TR1000 is approved for use in eight countries, including the United States, European Union, Japan, and Australia, and is available for purchase now.

Statistics:

  • The TR1000 now includes two and four channel BRI versions, four and eight channel analog versions, and 24, 30, 48, and 60 channel T1/E1 versions.
  • The TR1000 platform scales from two to 60 channels per board and up to 240 channels per system.
  • Over 60% of smaller installations still rely on analog lines in the Americas and much of Asia, while BRI is most common in Europe and Japan.
  • Large installations prefer T1 and E1 interfaces.
