Aculab named to the 2007 ‘pulver100’
12th March 2007, Milton Keynes, UK – Aculab, a leading provider of enabling technology for the communications market, has today announced that it has been named to the 2007 ‘pulver100’ – which is the IP communications industry’s premier listing of privately held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem. Aculab has been named to the list due to its continued development of technology that allows solution providers to easily migrate their customer base to IP, demonstrated by customers providing successful IP-based solutions worldwide.

Aculab has continued to be at the forefront of the communications industry with the launch of Prosody X – the industry’s first combined IP/TDM media processing card in multiple form factors (PCI, cPCI and PCIe). Designed around an IP core, its architecture makes the product distributable amongst different chassis platforms offering resilience and scalability as well as helping future proof solutions as they move to IP. Unrivalled benchmarks in density and price provide a competitive advantage. Continued enhancements and responsiveness to customer demand will see the addition of video, security and mobility functionality throughout 2007 – three of the most popular requirements in today’s communications era.

Additionally, Aculab continued to enhance its host media processing offering – Prosody S, bringing it’s functionality in line with the Prosody X product range. Now, developers can simply choose for themselves whether they wish to implement hardware or software-based solutions.

“The pulver100 is the IP communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like Aculab continue to spread IP communications via their IP media processing technology,” said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name Aculab to this year’s pulver100.”

Talking of the announcement, Alan Pound, Aculab's Founder and Managing Director said, "We have looked to pulvermedia for some years now as a highly regarded and respected reference to keep abreast of the news, views and trends happening in the IP marketplace. To be recognised in the pulver100 is great news for Aculab. It demonstrates our commitment to be at the forefront of leading edge technology whilst adjusting to the ever changing needs of our industry."
