MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- TimesTen, Inc., a provider of
real-time infrastructure software, and Kodiak Networks, a leading
provider of instant wireless voice systems, today announced that
TimesTenR has been incorporated into the Kodiak Real-Time ExchangeT
(RTX) System, one of the industry's most advanced voice systems for
delivering instant, feature-rich voice connections between individuals
and groups. TimesTen was selected by Kodiak Networks for its adherence
to open standards, real-time performance and continuous availability -
elements required to deliver the fastest, most consistent,
highest-quality user experience for advanced push-to-talk (PTT)
services.
The Kodiak RTX is an industry-leading instant wireless voice system that
boosts the productivity of business professionals and consumers while
providing significant and immediate financial benefits to carriers.
Working over today's highly optimized voice channels, the Kodiak RTX
System enables carriers to offer all the benefits associated with
current voice networks, such as speed and performance, while adding
desirable premium calling features. Within the Kodiak RTX System,
TimesTen manages all network configuration and subscriber/group
information, allowing rich profiles, innovative, permission-based buddy
lists management, and presence updates to be processed and managed in
real time, providing subscribers with greater flexibility and control.
TimesTen also facilitates very fast call set-up times, which results in
increased overall user productivity.
"The wireless industry has become fiercely competitive. Shrinking
margins and rising customer churn are forcing carriers to look for
innovative ways to capture and retain subscribers," said Bruce Lawler,
vice president, business development at Kodiak Networks.
"Market-energizing services like advanced push-to-talk are essential to
carriers. TimesTen is helping to meet this market demand by providing
the infrastructure software needed for a highly responsive PTT
experience," added Lawler.
"Every major U.S. carrier has indicated that PTT is a service that they
plan to offer, while interest globally is growing rapidly as well," said
Jim Groff, CEO, TimesTen, Inc. "PTT is fast becoming a cornerstone
offering, since it offers a differentiated and compelling way for
subscribers to communicate efficiently and become more productive.
Kodiak Networks is delivering this in a fast, feature-rich and
cost-effective architecture by leveraging best-of-breed components such
as TimesTen," added Groff.
