Nortel Networks introduced a Media Application Server for delivering customized packet telephony applications that incorporate speech recognition, text-to-speech, and DTMF detection and other processing-intensive capabilities. Nortel Networks will implement enhanced media processing capabilities in software rather than hardware. The new Media Application Server, which will work with Nortel Networks Multimedia Communication Server 5100 and 5200, will support open interfaces — such as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) and VoiceXML (VXML). By the second half of 2004, Media Application Server will also support multiple scripting engines for third party development, including Application Development Toolset (ADT), VoiceXML 2.0, CCXML, and SALT.

From the Graveyard
You just read about Nortel Networks. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Xros built MEMS optical cross-connects. What became of it?
Xros brought MEMS optical cross-connects to Optical. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by Nortel Networks for US$3.25B. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside Nortel Networks today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
