| Telchemy develops technology
that enables service providers and major enterprise
to deploy and manage Voice over IP, Video over
IP, Audio/ Video Streaming and Networked Game
services. We believe that future networks need
to be self-managing, self-diagnosing and self-healing
(autonomic) to support large scale deployment of these QoS-sensitive
networked multimedia applications. Emerging distributed
network management systems need to monitor application
performance from the users' perspective and integrate
directly with admission control, route selection
and network control systems to support real-time
fault and performance management. Telchemy's
products provide real time visibility of service quality,
estimates of user perceived QoS, and detailed analysis
of the root cause of quality degradation for either
live calls/ sessions, or for test calls. Our software
technology can be integrated by equipment manufacturers
into a wide range of products ranging from consumer
electronics devices to large telecom systems, monitoring
every call and detecting problems in real time. Our
OEM products support collection and analysis of real
time call quality data, providing easy integration
with management systems and other network and call
control systems.
The Company was founded in
1999, and is based in Duluth, Georgia. Telchemy's Board of Directors
includes Alan Clark, Founder and CEO of Telchemy and
former CTO of Hayes, Bob Jones, Founder of Equiinet,
Sonix, Mayze Systems and Steebek, and Joe Formichelli,
formerly VP Worldwide Operations for IBM, CEO of Hayes,
Executive Vice President of Toshiba Computer Systems
Group.
Telchemy's Founder and CEO, Dr Alan Clark, has over 35
years of industry experience, most of which has been
within the telecom and networking industries.
During the 1970's he worked in the military
electronics field, and then returned to college to
study data communications and information theory.
His PhD work focused on the development of a high
performance data compression algorithm (later
adopted by ITU as V.42bis) and performance modeling
of data communications protocols over channels with
time varying impairments. His research work
included extensive work in image processing,
computer vision, expert systems, quality of service and network
performance analysis. Alan was a system
architect with British Telecom, and led the initial
architecture team for BT's next generation
management system (Concert. He joined Dowty
Communications in 1989, led Dowty's Voice over Frame
Relay and ATM development activities, and was
responsible for strategic marketing/ product
strategy, business development and ATM/ Network
Management/ QoS technology research. In 1993
Alan joined Hayes as VP Technology and later CTO,
and played a leading role in the development of
integrated voice/data modem standardization.
He left Hayes in 1998 and founded Telchemy in 1999.
Alan has over ten granted patents, and plays a
leading role in VoIP and IPTV performance management
standards development; he was an author for RFC3611
(RTCP XR) and the SIP RTCP Summary Report draft in
IETF, and is co-chair of the PMOL Working Group.
