Global IP Sound has opened a new office in Hong Kong to help promote its embedded voice-processing solutions for the Voice over IP (VoIP) market.

"The strong relationships that we have already forged with many of the leading ISPs in the Asia-Pacific region have paved the way in building ties with hardware manufacturers in the region," said Gary P. Hermansen, President and CEO of Global IP Sound. "We are hiring a strong team of sales, marketing and engineering personnel to ensure that the needs and expectations of these new customers are met."

The company is committing considerable resources into penetrating rapidly growing Asian markets. Global IP Sound's Hong Kong office will continue servicing ISPs and application developers while putting additional focus on providers of VoIP hardware solutions as well as wireless system manufacturers.

Founded in 1999, Global IP Sound develops embedded voice processing technologies for real-time communications over packet networks.
