Since its beginnings in manufacturing components for the computer telephony market, Dialogic has folded numerous companies into its corporation, including NMS Communications, Cantata, and Veraz Networks (which specialized in SBC and compression technology). This has allowed the company to expand its product portfolio and shift its focus towards service provider infrastructure. With this new approach, Dialogic is currently promoting their optimization solutions, known as Network Fuel™, which is used by 48 of the world’s top 50 mobile operators and nearly 3,000 application developers, and helping customers transition from hardware/premise-based service providers towards software virtualization and cloud-based infrastructure. Dialogic also specializes in bridging diverse networks, from legacy terrestrial to mobile voice networks or from next-gen IP networks to 3G mobile networks. Additionally, Dialogic products have been proven to increase VoIP backhaul capacity by double, alleviating network congestion without requiring additional and expensive MPLS bandwidth.
