From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lior Haramaty (born in Tel-Aviv, Israel in 1966) is the co-founder of VocalTec Inc. (1989) and the inventor of the Audio Transceiver (U.S. Patent 5,825,771 ) that enabled the creation of Voice Over Neworks products and eventually the VoIP industry, that changed the face of the telecommunication industry.
According to Om Malik, "Two entrepreneurs barely out of their teens, Lior Haramaty and Alon Cohen, founded VocalTec Communications in 1993 based on the promise of packet voice technology they observed as members of the Israel Defense Force.... the idea of commercializing packet voice did not occur to anyone until the arrival of Lior and Alon."[1]
