Rivulet Communications enables medical, government and enterprise customers to flawlessly transport high bandwidth, mission critical and real time applications over existing IP networks. In major healthcare institutions, video is increasingly becoming an essential element of improved patient care as well as physician training and collaboration. Rivulet's applications are currently used to transport, archive and access HD medical-grade video throughout the hospital campus over the existing IP infrastructure. The video quality Rivulet delivers is superior to that using compression mechanisms or analog solutions and can be accessed anywhere that a computer can be connected to the network. In government and media applications, Rivulet's solutions are used to flawlessly transport VoIP, TDM (Circuit Emulation), video and satellite communications over existing IP networks. With Rivulet applications these services can be transported without the impairments typical of IP networks. As a result, their customers can confidently achieve network convergence and increase network utilization, while reducing the cap-ex and op-ex associated with continually over-provisioning and re-engineering the network. These applications are powered by Rivulet's innovative core technology, Dynamic Synchronization Technology (DST). DST works by synchronizing packets as they enter the IP network, virtually eliminating network resource contention and the resultant delay, packet loss and jitter, as well as the low utilization typically associated with convergence over IP networks. Through its broad product portfolio, breakthrough technology, strong leadership and partners, Rivulet Communications is delivering network convergence solutions for its customers.
