Motorola Computer Group (MCG) and Dialogic Monday announced partner agreements aimed at providing new levels of telecommunications solutions utilizing the latest CompactPCI technologies. MCG will provide CompactPCI platforms to Dialogic's global network of telecommunications partners, who in turn will have access to the Dialogic DM3 architecture and value-added services in a CompactPCI form factor.

The robust, carrier grade MCG platform features include: hot-swap capability, environmental qualifications and ease of maintenance, which help meet the strict standards of the telecom industry. "Motorola Computer Group is pleased to be working with Dialogic to provide customers with a new platform on which to build telephony services," said Mark Baker, vice president of worldwide sales from MCG. "We anticipate that telephony customers will benefit from the rich feature set and broad offerings of the MCG CompactPCI product line." "As the industry moves from enterprise to network-based solutions, open telephony platforms must not only be cost-effective, scalable and standards-based, they must be highly available," said John Landau, vice president of strategic marketing, Dialogic Corp. "The strategic relationship between Dialogic and Motorola offers the best in products and functionality to developers of telco-grade telephony systems." MCG and Dialogic jointly showcase hot swap capabilities using Dialogic's SNMP and BoardWatch software running on a MCG CPX2208 CompactPCI Telephony platform that will be at a number of industry tradeshows throughout the year.
