Splinternet Communications Signs Agreement With Artera Group
10/17/2006
Network Optimization Allows For Better Quality VoIP Service
NORWALK, Conn., Oct 17, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Splinternet Communications, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Splinternet Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: SLNH), announced that it has signed an agreement with Artera Group, Inc., a subsidiary of NCT Group, Inc. (OTCBB: NCTI) under which Splinternet will optimize its network utilizing Artera Group's Artera Turbo(TM) technology (patents pending). An optimized network will allow Splinternet to offer state-of-the-art voice quality over its VoIP networks, even in international markets where networks are not always as robust as in developed markets. Splinternet will also utilize additional technologies from Artera Group and its parent to enhance its VoIP offering with noise and echo cancellation and signal conditioning.
One of the central features of Internet Protocol is that the signals which traverse the network can take many different routes between the same origin and destination. As a result, VoIP service can occasionally lag traditional public switched telephone network service in terms of quality. Artera Turbo technology is especially designed to optimize the network and reduce jitter, a form of distortion caused by the arrival of data packets at their destination in the wrong order. A further benefit is the reduction in bandwidth requirements, which is especially helpful in countries where the only access to the Internet is via satellite.
Splinternet's president, James Ackerly reported, "One of the gating factors in VoIP has been the quality of the call. Across the board, telephony costs are declining and, in our experience, traditional telephony users have resisted switching to VoIP unless the quality of the VoIP service is at least as high as the competing traditional service. This agreement with Artera Group will enable us to ensure our service quality, especially in network-challenged locales. We believe this agreement will further enable us to attract users to our VoIP products, who may otherwise resist migrating. We remain committed to offering our customers the highest level of quality possible, at competitive prices."
