Citel Technologies, Inc., is pleased to announce a new firmware release for its Portico™ TVA™ that enable Citel's VoIP migration device to be installed in a central office environment for Centrex deployments. For the first time carriers who are migrating their customers to an IP Centrex solution from a DMS100 Centrex environment can install the Portico™ TVA™ centrally rather than at end user premises.
The Portico TVA offers companies the ability to migrate their customers to VoIP without the unnecessary burden of ripping and replacing existing cabling infrastructure, purchasing new IP phones and installing Power over Ethernet switches. Customers can retain their existing digital, analog and Centrex phones without removing the existing switches by SIP enabling those phones through the use of the Portico TVA. This is a quick and cost effective means of VoIP migration.
The Portico™ TVA™ was originally developed as a premise based device which, when converting end users from a PBX to a premise based IP telephony platform, was not an issue. However, for carriers who were trying to migrate their Centrex customers it can be an issue as they are reluctant to send their technicians onto customers' premises unnecessarily as most work with the switching equipment had historically been done centrally. At a show in the Fall of 2011, one of the major cloud based IP telephony platform providers asked Citel to reexamine its premise based design and Citel's Engineering Division, based in the UK, started the review and design process. After six month design work and some extensive field testing, Citel is excited to announce this new development. "It is important to listen to customers and to work with them to develop products and firmware that meet their needs rather than what we think they need" said Ian Gomm, VP Sales and Marketing. "We are extremely fortunate to have a development team that can think outside the box. We now have versions of the Portico™ TVA™ that fully meet the needs of a new, wider group of customers. Where customers had to ensure that the Portico™ TVA™ was installed less than 2,000 feet (600 meters) from the handset in all instances now the Portico™ TVA™ designed for Centrex replacement, can be up to 15,000 feet (5,000 meters) from the handsets, the mandated loop length for Centrex handsets."

PixelFish Honored with Two "Award of Distinction" Wins
PixelFish, a leading provider of Google TV Ads, announced today it has been awarded two "Award of Distinction" wins by the 2012 Videographer Awards. The Videographer Awards is an international awards program founded by communication professionals to honor video production companies, advertising and public relations firms, corporate communication departments, cable and broadcast television operations, and government agencies.
The Videographer Awards is one of the oldest and most respected awards programs in the industry. PixelFish received the "Award of Distinction" for two 2011 projects: "StarBoard," a video case study produced for Hitachi that explored the many uses of the StarBoard interactive whiteboard technology in the classroom; and Sunbury Motors "Kia," a 30-second commercial for a Pennsylvania car dealership.
"The Sunbury Motors Kia commercial was part a five-spot campaign," said PixelFish Senior Scriptwriter Andy Glickman. "The client had previously aired just your typical 'stroll through the lot' spots; we pitched them on the idea of going in a radically different direction to break through the clutter of local dealership advertising. The result was a unified series of commercials, with instantly recognizable branding, that distinguished Sunbury Motors from the competition."
Rob Archer is PixelFish's Media Manager and oversaw production of both "Distinction" winning videos. "These videos couldn't be more different. The Hitachi 'StarBoard' video was shot on location at schools in Washington, capturing comments from teachers using the technology and B-roll of classroom activities. The Sunbury spots were shot in our green screen studio with nearly a dozen actors, extensive props and a series of motion graphics and effects. The challenges, goals and production of the two videos demonstrate pretty well the wide range of work that we do at PixelFish."
