PacketPort.com has contracted with the Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC) for productization of a new Linux based “voice-over-DSL” Internet appliance. This new technology is designed to convert analog voice signals from ordinary home or office telephones to be transported over the DSL using Internet Protocol. The result will be reduced long distance charges as well as simultaneous transmission of voice, fax and data without costly network upgrades.

GTRI, a leader in moving products from concept to market, will use their development resources to facilitate all aspects of the appliance circuit design including selection and implementation of various DSP algorithms, deployment of a Linux-based real time operating system, as well as testing of various protocol stacks.
