PIKA Technologies, Inc., a designer and manufacturer of telephony appliances, applications and plug-in media-processing hardware and software, announced today that they are in the final stages of developing three new critical applications for their WARP Plus applications platform. These new applications build on the success of the platform’s initial application, on-premise paging, introduced in October 2010.
The WARP Plus family of applications has been developed specifically for providers of hosted/cloud-based telephony solutions (i.e. hosted PBX) who face difficulties delivering a subset of capabilities from the cloud that were typically delivered by traditional customer premise equipment (CPE). PIKA has successfully completed WARP Plus interoperability testing with the popular BroadSoft® BroadWorks® product, and the platform is easily adaptable to other hosted PBX offerings.
In addition to on-premise paging, the WARP Plus will now offer local and external IP survivability, GSM least cost routing and local music on hold source.
David Clarke, Product Manager at PIKA Technologies, added: “The WARP Plus portfolio has been designed to meet increasing demand in the marketplace for affordable, easy to install applications that allow our service provider customers to be more competitive in the hosted PBX space. They provide innovative solutions to everyday customer requirements and make hosted PBX offerings a more compelling solution vs. on-premise PBX products.”
The new local and external IP survivability feature provides a backup connection(s) to the outside world if the IP link to the service provider’s switching platform is lost. Local music on hold source provides the ability to utilize a local source of audio that callers will hear when they are placed on hold. And, GSM least cost routing allows calls placed from desktop telephones to mobile telephones to be cost effectively routed over GSM trunks.
The new applications for WARP Plus are now in customer trials and will be available directly from PIKA Technologies in April 2011.
