Intel and Siemens have announced an agreement to work collaboratively to create open unified communications solutions based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The two companies have agreed to jointly fund and cooperatively conduct research focused on secure wireless networks and real-time open unified communications in the short term as well as work together longer term to create vertical industry collaboration solutions to drive business process for market segments such as telecommunications service providers, financial services and digital healthcare.
Additional components of the agreement call for the two companies to establish joint market development efforts focused on the enterprise and service provider sectors. The overall goal of the joint effort is to demonstrate real time communications solutions for business process optimisation using Intel architecture such as Intel dual-core technology and carrier class Rack Mounted Servers (RMS) from Intel and the HiPath 8000 and OpenScape from Siemens.
The first step is to demonstrate the OpenScape platform running Applications such as Personal Portal, Unified communications, Video and Voice Conferencing and Mobile Clients. Intel and Siemens expect to present findings and display the first wave of technology solutions developed at an Intel lab in the US to selected customers by the end of 2006.
Gordon Graylish, vice president of the sales and marketing group and general manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) said, “As a result of this collaboration, enterprise customers will be able to avail themselves of unified communications based on the industry’s highest performance and most cost effective architecture.“
