IVVR Farming for 3G Streaming Live Video Services

The 3rd Generation Video Telephony value added service providers have seen the benefits of centralizing equipment as it reduces maintenance costs (everything is now managed as a whole) and increases equipment use, since equipment (such as Video IVR ports) can now be shared among 3G operators, thus lowering the overall number of required ports. Wireless telecommunication operators are rolling out UMTS / 3G networks and providing broadband internet speeds and ability for service providers / customers to access IVVR rich services such as video streaming and mobile TV. Live Video like TV contents are delivered thru RTSP streaming servers and prerecorded MP4 / VXML contends thru NAS systems. The proposed architecture basically supports any single point of failure. Thus, videocalls will continue to be processed even after a failure.   The following high availability features are: Dual SIP routers: OpenSER […]

One-Time-Password (OTP) for IVR Transactions

A one-time password (OTP) is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction. OTPs avoid a number of shortcomings that are associated with traditional (static) passwords. The most important shortcoming that is addressed by OTPs is that, in contrast to static passwords, they are not vulnerable to replay attacks. This means that, if a potential intruder manages to record an OTP that was already used to log into a service or to conduct a payment or any other secure transaction, he or she will not be able to abuse it since it will be no longer valid. Manage a OTP service with an IVR powered by VoiceXML like VXI* is really easier, allowing a dynamic programing to connect any backoffice system. What is an IVR transaction with OTP? IVR + OTP (interactive voice response) transactions are […]

VuiCloud: Increasing the use of Speech in IVR Applications

We are pleased to share a very good report and interesting IVR figures for you summer reading from VuiCloud (Interactive Digital). Download (from the source): [download id=”133″ format=”1″ autop=”false”] Executive Summary: Speech is one of the few technologies that has the potential for enhancing telephone self-service. The technology, if used properly, provides motivation for significant upgrading of existing self-service installations. That said, telephone self-service in general is one of the few technologies that is strongly disliked by the user community. This is largely because the bulk of the implementations have been done so poorly. According to ASR News, in 2010, the total self-service installed base was 8.6M ports worldwide. Additionally, in 2010 there were: A total of 889,640 self-service port shipments, of which 79.54% were for the Customer Premise Equipment market. A total of 75.9B DTMF self-service inbound call minutes worldwide […]
