CounterPath's X-Lite(TM) for Linux Recognized for Exceptional
Reliability, Flexibility and Innovation in VoIP VANCOUVER, Jan. 18
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- CounterPath(TM) Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:
CTPS), the leading provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol),
Video over IP, Instant Messaging (IM), and Presence SIP softphones,
today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC(R))
INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) magazine has named CounterPath's X-Lite(TM)
for Linux as a recipient of the 2005 Product of the Year Award.
INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998(TM).
CounterPath's softphones for Windows, MAC OS X, Pocket PC and Linux
are software applications, which run on devices such as personal
computers (PCs) or personal digital assistants (PDAs) or can be
integrated into set-top boxes, embedded devices, instant messenger
applications and alike. When a CounterPath softphone is connected
to a service provider's network, the user can make and receive
calls to and from other "on-net" callers (IP-to-IP) and/or
"off-net" callers (IP-to-PSTN/Cellular) with the same quality of
service they would expect from an IP handset. However, at a
fraction of the cost, while providing more features and
functionality than an IP handset. "Once again our first-class team,
of over 30 engineers, has been recognized for their abilities,
providing our award-winning softphones to users on Windows, Mac OS
X, Pocket PC and Linux," said Donovan Jones, Vice President of
Sales and Marketing of CounterPath. "A key requirement of
enterprise customers, and a differentiator of CounterPath softphone
solutions compared with those of companies like Microsoft, is a
product suite on multiple operating systems easily supported by
in-house technical staff." "Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine
bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have
demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and
application refinements. CounterPath has demonstrated to the
editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its X-Lite for Linux SIP
softphone is committed to delivering quality and innovation while
addressing the real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani,
Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY. The
Product of the Year Award winners for 2005 will be highlighted in
the January and February 2006 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY
magazine. They are also available at
