NEW YORK | ONTARIO | January 7, 2020 – Dialogic Group Inc., a communications technology leader in media processing software, announced that it has been acquired by Enghouse Systems Limited from Novacap. The acquisition strengthens the position of Enghouse in the enterprise video and unified communications market segment by adding rich multi-media processing applications and capabilities.

Dialogic is an industry leader in media processing software, with a highly scalable solution that supports real-time video conferencing and collaboration applications across all devices. Dialogic’s infrastructure products offer a best-in-class Session Border Controller and several software-based network solutions to communication service providers. This combination enables the transformation from legacy TDM (time division multiplexing) to next-generation network platforms.
