As the world's first Linux-based recording
systems, they provide a secure environment, and their modular design together with their ability of mixing TDM and VoIP recording within one system, helps fit existing infrastructures. Multiple units may be connected to a central server, and unlimited online voice storage facilitates access and retrieval of calls.

Guenther Mueller, Chairman and CEO of ASC Germany: "Our company launched the world's first Linux-based recording system, then followed it with EVOip for Linux as a VoIP solution. We are now providing mature versions of these products while our competitors are just entering the field."

Georges Pradon, Director of ASC France added, "Our government and public-security customers are focusing on internal and external safety. Reliability is critical for emergency situations and that's where ASC solutions provide a perfect fit. We are proud of ASC's track record and our long-term history in this sensitive public safety market. With more than 40 years of experience in the communications industry, we know the latest Linux-based solutions represent the best in the business."

Linux provides a very stable environment for mission-critical applications, includes all UNIX standard tools, offers excellent networking capability, an advanced graphical interface built into the operating system, and most important, it uses an open-source
architecture that is continually being improved.

ASC's EVOip for Linux, its VoIP recording solution, now supports SIP. SIP, an emerging industry standard, consists of an internet protocol that enables the use of IP telephony switches without proprietary support. Thus, ASC's solutions may now be accessed from any location with the same call set-up, handling and forwarding functions. In fact, SIP makes telephony like any other web application and may be used to build converged voice and multimedia services from formerly incompatible
components.
