FVC adds IPeak Networks’ IPQ to portfolio

FVC, a leading value added distribution in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA), has announced the signing of a distribution agreement with IPeak Networks for the MENA region. FVC will be selling and supporting IPeak Networks’ IPQ Network Appliance and IPQ Concentrator throughout the MENA region.

K.S. Parag, MD at FVC, said, “As the demand for IP based communication

grows in the region, we see a need for IPeak Networks’ automatic packet

loss recovery solutions that will benefit real time applications like

videoconferencing and VoIP. This technology will help our Videoconferencing

and VoIP customers run their calls much better on public IP networks and

will be a useful addition to our Rich Media portfolio.”

IPeak Networks’ unique patent-pending zero-latency protection against

packet loss allows its IPQ products to greatly improve the quality of video

conferences conducted over the public Internet. Packet loss is endemic to

the Internet and as little as 1% packet loss can make a video conference

unusable. IPQ reduces packet loss by 95% and more to enable smooth and

synchronized video conference calls using the public Internet. IPQ products

for video conferencing provide low-cost plug-and-call protection against

packet loss: IPQ’s transparent operation mode means there is no need for

network engineering, no changes to installed video conference systems

required, and an immediately positive impact on the video conferencing

system user experience.

Brett McAteer, Director of Marketing, IPeak Networks, said “Right from

the start, FVC demonstrated a complete understanding of the way IPQ is

changing the game for video conferencing over-the-top of the public

Internet. We were looking for the right partner to help build the market

for our ground-breaking technology and there is no doubt that the

partnership between FVC and IPeak Networks represents a regional force for

change, bringing the quality and the performance required for real-time

network applications to the public Internet.”

FVC and IPeak Networks will be available at Gitex on FVC’s stand Z-L1

in Zabeel Hall.
