Telos
Telos Systems - part of Telos Alliance - was founded in 1985 by Steve Church, a talk show radio presenter and engineer who was not satisfied with the poor quality of the on-air phone calls on his shows. He was also an engineer determined to do something about it. The resulting Telos 10 telephone interface system was a great success and inspired Steve to build a company to make and sell the systems. Telos Systems has since become the market leader in broadcast telephone systems and IP and ISDN codecs. For example, the groundbreaking Telos Zephyr audio codec is one of the most successful digital broadcast products in history, with over 21,000 in use worldwide. Telos telephone hybrids and on-air talk show systems offer a professional solution for the local and regional broadcasting world.
