Business Wire, Sept 5, 1995
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 5, 1995--Boca Research Inc. (NASDAQ:BOCI) Tuesday announced an agreement with VocalTec Inc. under which Boca Research will bundle the full, unlimited-use version of Internet Phone software with its newest SoundExpression 28.8Kbps VoiceView and Digital Simultaneous Voice and Data (DSVD) products.
Additionally, under a special agreement with VocalTec, all of Boca's other 14.4Kbps and 28.8Kbps modem products will include a special offer coupon entitling the customer to buy Internet Phone at a special promotional price. SoundExpression products transform an ordinary PC into a complete multimedia communications workstation providing high-speed data/fax modem, voicemail, full duplex speakerphone, SRS Labs' 3-D Surround Sound, and VoiceView, all on a single PC card.
And now with the use of VocalTec's Internet Phone an Internet surfer using the new SoundExpression will be able to talk to the other Internet Phone users, as though making a standard phone call, anywhere in the world.
"Boca Research and VocalTec are providing users with feature-rich products and revolutionary software that enables you to talk in real-time over the Internet," said Steve Mills, Boca's vice president of business development. "By providing this breakthrough, leading-edge technology voice communication tool for PC users on the Internet, we are underscoring Boca's position as a communications industry leader.
"The potential that this technology offers is incredible," Mills continued. "The software enables Internet users to communicate in a whole new way by enabling real-time conversations over the Internet simply by dialing into the network and taking advantage of the multimedia capabilities of today's PCs. Internet Phone is an inexpensive and easy way to communicate globally using voice over the Internet. It's one of the most exciting communications technologies to come along since the advent of the information superhighway."
Boca Research is offering its customers Internet Phone in two convenient packages. Buyers of Boca's two new SoundExpression products, Product Codes SE34SRS and SE34SVD, will have free access and unlimited use of Internet Phone. A registration code coupon will ship with these products which, when activated, will enable the redeemer to free access and unlimited use of VocalTec's software.
All other 14.4Kbps and 28.8Kbps BocaModems will ship with a special offer coupon which gives the consumer instructions to download a free time-limited trial of Internet Phone. As part of the agreement with VocalTec, the coupon also entitles the Boca customer to purchase Internet Phone at a special promotional price directly from VocalTec.
