First look: New product announcements from VoiceCon 2009

Today, VoiceCon presented more than 20 new products that will be showcased at the enterprise-focused event next week in Orlando - with more announcements expected later this week and throughout next week. Items range from a new low-end session border controller to new multimedia call center solutions.

Acme Packet is bringing the Net-Net 3800, a SBC for small enterprise sites requiring up to 500 secure, high-quality VoIP/UC sessions.  Pricing on the Net-Net 3800 is expected to be half that of Acme's existing (well, former) entry-level SBC.

New call center applications include ccFlowCam, a program from Consistacom that delivers an automatic blueprint of call center switch programming drawn directly from working vector programs. The application replaces manual documentation with automation, reducing labor costs and human error, and immediately helping the user identify opportunities, enhancements and changes to improve call handling.

Also in the call center arena, EasyRun is debuting EPICAcce, an "Enterprise-Grade PBX agnostic contact center."  The product, which is delivered on a 2U appliance, includes a robust contact center as well as a complete Asterisk-based voice infrastructure. Entry level costs can start as low as $5,000 for a basic configuration.

Grandstream Networks will be showing off its new GXV3140, a next-generation IP multimedia phone. The GXV3140 includes a 4.3-inch color LCD, tiltable 1.3MP camera, dual-network ports, SD and USB ports, full-duplex speakerphone, and the ability to run a web browser and work with RSS news feeds, among other features.

Sipera Systems will roll out security enhancements for Microsoft OCS deployments for supporting secure remote office and teleworkers, SIP trunk termination and security, and core network PBX support.
