Patents support company strategy
Pika Technologies has been granted a new patent on communications control patent, and a second patent covering host-based media processing is pending
Both patents support the company's strategy to deliver media processing building blocks for TDM networks, IP-centric networks and blended TDM/IP networks. For two decades, Pika Technologies has consistently delivered the reliable building blocks that commercial application developers need to remain competitive in the evolving IVR, call centre, custom PC/IP PBX, fax and logging solutions markets.

A host-based media processing technology patent is pending.
Pika Technologies is no stranger to harnessing the power of the computer's host processor to deliver the most effective solutions possible.
In the early life of the company, as part of the technology strategy, the design team made the architectural decision to power the call control stacks using the host processor.
Leveraging that domain knowledge and expertise, Pika Technologies' designers are enabling all current DSP-based algorithms, called AllOnBoard media processing, to run on the computer's host processor as well.
Pika's host-based media processing, called AllOnHost, is the next step in the company's technology roadmap for use both in blended TDM/IP environments and pure IP-centric environments.
This patent-pending technology is targeted for release this spring and will allow developers flexibility of choice for AllOnBoard media processing (TDM network), AllOnHost media processing (IP-centric network), or a blend of AllOnBoard and AllOnHost (converged TDM/IP network).
'Pika Technologies has earned the respect of our customers for over 18 years because we have consistently delivered reliable media processing building blocks when required by the developer community'.
'In addition, our designers stand behind their technology and are ready to go the extra mile to transfer their technical knowledge directly to our customers'.
'I attribute these patents to our exceptional designers', said Jim Pinard, cofounder and President, Pika Technologies.
Peter Karneef, cofounder and CEO of Pika Technologies added: 'Today is an exciting time for our developer customers'.
'They are recognising that new revenue streams will emerge by delivering solutions that play in the converged network space'.
'Pika Technologies promises to continue to deliver reliable media processing building blocks for emerging opportunities in the 21st century'.
