MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada (November 16, 2009) –

The inclusion of RADVISION’s 3G-324M stacks allows Octasic to meet current needs for 3G handset users, and further increases the spectrum of mobile video services its Vocallo MGW solution supports.
“Our 3G-324M stack enables the development of a wide range of 3G products, handsets and servers,” said Anatoli Levine, Director of Product Management at RADVISION. “With Vocallo, video gateway design engineers now have an all-in-one solution that incorporates our 3G-324M stacks to deliver the best in voice and video quality available today.” More information about RADVISION products can be found at http://www.radvision.com/Products/Developer/.
