MONTREAL and TOKYO--(Marketwire - July 26, 2012) - Octasic Inc., a leading innovator of media processing and wireless solutions, today announced that its Vocallo Media Gateway (MGW) multi-core DSP platform has been selected by Hitachi for use in its hybrid IP-PBX NETTOWER CX-01 targeted at large and medium-sized enterprises. Using Octasic's Vocallo MGW, Hitachi was able to build the NETTOWER CX-01 to provide enterprise customers the option to seamlessly combine both corporate data networks and TDM voice networks.
