SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Hospitality Phone Maker and Peer-to-Peer Software Firm to Co-Develop Hospitality-Specific Solutions to Augment Existing PBX and Endpoint Features

Teledex, the leading worldwide provider of telephones for the hospitality industry, and Popular Telephony, an emerging leader in peer-to-peer telephony technologies, today announced they have entered into an agreement whereby the two companies will work together to develop applications and products that can enhance the functionality of both conventional and IP-enabled hospitality PBXs, as well as telephones and other endpoints.

Utilizing Peerio, Popular Telephony's leading edge peer-to-peer technology, and Teledex's award-winning VoIP designs, the two companies aim to produce content-supporting applications, services and back-end support applications that can augment existing hospitality PBX functionality without requiring additional PBX upgrades or investments. By deploying such applications on Popular Telephony's "serverless" network architecture, utilizing the shared computing power and storage capacity of a "virtual" network, hotel operating companies can recognize substantial cost savings, as well as provide significant guest-facing technological innovations that can be constantly upgraded at little or no cost.

Popular Telephony's Peerio networking solution has recently garnered much industry attention, as it represents a paradigm shift in network architecture and, subsequently, capital expenditure. By creating a virtual network that resides on the clients on the network, a serverless architecture is achieved that distributes both the computing power and storage capacity necessary to deliver modern telecommunications functions. In short, Peerio obviates the need for a conventional network architecture that is reliant on central servers, network switches and routers. The elimination of this hardware represents a significant cost savings to the network owner, as well as enabling rapid and cost-effective innovation through immediate software upgrades to the clients on the network.
