VoicePulse, a broadband phone service provider, will use a telephone adapter from Sipura Technology to secure its customers’ broadband phone calls using encryption. The encryption capability use technology built into the telephone adapter as well as modifications to VoicePulse’s own softswitch, which was developed in house.
VoicePulse said that unlike other consumer VoIP offerings to date, its service will protect customer phone calls by encrypting the portion that travels over the public Internet — a frequent request by its residential consumers and “an absolute requirement for business users.”
VoicePulse is believed to be the first to announce plans to offer this level of VoIP security. The capability is expected to be implemented in Q2 2004. http://www.voicepulse.comhttp://www.sipura.com
