[Tonight we're trying out a sponsored event, so please do give me some feedback on the meeting to help guide future meetings of this nature. Note that the meeting will be at the Novotel in North York -- Simon] Synopsis: Richard is the founder and President of Positron Telecom, which produces innovative VoIP equipment for Telephony applications. He was previously a Sales Engineer, Territory Sales Manager and Product Manager at Eicon Networks and later Dialogic Corporation. From there he went on to start his own Linux consulting firm, which developed solutions based on OpenWrt and Asterisk projects, and created a line of embedded appliances at his company Bulletendpoints. This sponsored event will show how Positron has created the market's first SIP enabled PCI card - no more ZAP / DAHDI - and embedded Asterisk on the board itself. Richard will be discussing how a SIP enabled PCI card allows you to: - Build telephony solutions for Virtualization (VMWARE / ZEN / HyperV) - Build in redundancy using board and system failover - Reduce system load by removing ZAP / DAHDI - Take advantage of Unified Communications with Microsoft OCS integration / ESNA Tech Additionally, he will have a demo system set up for attendees to try out.
