The world of Recombinant Telephony has gone lab-less long enough. Noting that his inspiration is the legendary Bell Labs (which is now part of Alcatel-Lucent), Voxeo’s CEO Jonathan Taylor has chartered, and his company is funding, a new facility dedicated to core platform research in an effort to “incubate revolutionary ideas and innovate new communications solutions.”
To run Voxeo’s Lab, the company is hiring Jay Phillips and Jason Goecke, who ran Adhearsion, a three-year-old company that developed an open source, Ruby-based development framework for communications applications. That makes Voxeo the primary sponsor of Adhearsion. But the company’s core will continue to run on top of the Asterisk open-source PBX platform and will soon add support for Voxeo’s Tropo cloud telephony service.
