Radware has joined the University of New Hampshire's InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL) VoIP Technology Consortium. As a member of this consortium, Radware will be able to test its VoIP and SIP-enabled products in terms of compliance, interoperability, and quality.

Radware's decision to adhere to the UNL-IOL's VoIP consortium is based on its observations of the carrier market. With the arrival of next generation convergence applications, the carrier market is offering new SIP-based services, creating new opportunities for users to collaborate and exchange information. Additionally, as the global use of SIP adoption increases in carrier access, applications and trunking, it creates a need for vendors and system integrators to provide carriers and operators with solutions supporting carrier-grade requirements. This imposes a great burden on application and system development not typically addressed in the product scope but left to be handled in the system integration phase. As a result, Radware is focusing its efforts on expanding its product offering to fulfill these needs.

Oridian and JaJah announce a partnership agreement in the new and growing in-call advertising sector. Jacob Nizri, CEO of Oridian said today, "Ad networks are the bridge between advertisers and publishers and we're always on the lookout for new ways to bring dot.com publishers to international advertisers. Our partnership with JaJah is a significant development for our business, but more than that, it's revolutionary in terms of technology and the development of online advertising: in-call advertising gives call sponsors the ability to reach a global audience on a truly personal level. By its very nature, JaJah creates permission-based, targeted audiences that Oridian can reach effectively, bringing new business to non-US advertisers and monetizing US publishers' international traffic. US publishers currently sell 80% of their ad space but are missing out on 20% of their potential audience. That's a number they can't afford to ignore. We bring them together with that missing 20% - at the lowest industry cost."
