San Diego, California -- September 15, 2005 –
WiredRed®, a technology leader in real-time
communications software, today announced the
availability of its next generation software engine for
PC desktop multipoint VoIP. The next generation VoIP
application programming interface (API) delivers the
audio clarity and fluid experience of point-to-point
communications available in consumer services, such as
Skype, to commercial vendors that seek to include the
same capabilities in commercial-grade products and
services. WiredRed’s new API provides highly scalable
multipoint capabilities, security, and the ability to
dynamically connect corporate and government users that
are typically behind their own firewalls. It also
includes options for data collaboration and multipoint
video that are generally not available in consumer
services.
The new audio components include microphone set-up
wizards, a suite of VoIP codecs, adaptive noise
cancellation (ANC), acoustic echo cancellation (AEC),
automatic gain control (AGC), voice activity detection (VAD),
optimizations that properly handle discontinuous
transmission (DTX), sample rate conversion (handling
multiple participants at differing sample rates), jitter
filter management, and mixing and bridging for
multipoint VoIP conferencing. The coder/decoder (codec)
suite includes G.726, G.711 and a library of additional
industry standard and proprietary codecs. Additional
components include record and playback capabilities. The
implementation of the audio components can be
standalone, or in combination with WiredRed’s Real-Time
Routing Platform, often used to connect multiple ad-hoc
users behind their own separate firewalls into a
conferencing application.
“The Skype acquisition by eBay, Inc., has made the fast
growing adoption of desktop VoIP impossible to ignore,”
said Steven Peltier, WiredRed CEO. “As adoption of
consumer and point-to-point VoIP grows, so will the need
for multipoint conferencing. That’s where we come in.
WiredRed is among the few vendors that can deliver
multipoint VoIP and video capabilities to OEM
manufacturers and online service providers.”
PC audio and VoIP technologies have been available since
the late ‘90s, but the technology’s adoption has grown
dramatically over the last two years. In particular,
Skype, one of the most popular consumer VoIP services,
has grown from less than 5 million registered users in
Q1 2004, to more than 54 million members in 225
countries and territories worldwide.
WiredRed is a communications technology developer,
focused exclusively in the area of multipoint, real-time
communications software. The Company’s technology has
been applied to several commercial applications, most
recently VoIP and video conferencing. The technology is
unique in three respects. It has the ability to route,
or successfully connect several users behind separate
corporate and government firewalls. It provides a
complete two-way experience (full-duplex) between
multiple parties, whereby all parties can talk and be
seen at the same time. Lastly, it offers a superior
audio and video experience. The latter refers to the
software’s ability to synchronize multiple parties in
real-time and its ability to handle large variations in
bandwidth between dispersed users.
Prior generations of WiredRed’s multipoint VoIP and
video API have been incorporated into soft-phones from
one of the world’s largest PBX manufacturers, online
games for consumer team play, and online conferencing
and video service providers.

developer and OEM license agreements. For pricing and
