Softphone producer CounterPath has built its reputation as a key innovator in the emergence of SIP-based VoIP and Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC).
Now the North American firm has won plaudits for its flagship UC product, scooping the gong for Best Unified Communications Solution at the TMT Technology Awards.
The prize was awarded for CounterPath’s Stretto Platform, an integration and management gateway for over the top communications. Stretto is designed to offer users full flexibility in combining and augmenting existing communications tools in a single enhanced platform.
The Stretto offers a full suite of modules, including provisioning, SIP messaging and presence, contact and presence, which can be deployed to suit the specific communications needs of each client. Moreover, these modules are agnostic to the existing comms network, meaning they can be added to current SBCs, VoIP, PBXs and cloud communication services.
TMT, an online industry news service for the tech, media and telecoms sectors, runs five annual awards, voted for by the service’s 82,000 subscribers. The Technology Awards aim to recognise innovation and excellence across the spectrum of digital industries, highlighting the work of key players who drive enterprise technology forward with game changing, cutting edge solutions.
Awards coordinator vsaid: “The technology industry is a vital aspect of our lives, and those who work within it are responsible for the livelihoods of thousands, if not millions, of people who depend upon their products for their business and personal lives. As such I am proud to recognise our deserving winners, and would like to wish them every success going forward.”
Founded in 2002, CounterPath lists its strategic foci as Fixed Mobile Convergence, Unified Communications and Over the Top Solutions.
The Stretto Platform follows in the footsteps of the company’s award winning Bria X mobile UC suite, built on the company’s powerful softphone client suite and again providing platform agnostic solutions for complete versatility.
Both products underline CounterPath’s focus on developing FMC solutions that enable businesses, service providers and vendors to integrate voice, video, presence and IM with existing VoIP platforms on premises and on mobile.
