award
Open VoIP Peering Honored for Delivering Exceptional IP Communications Solutions
SAN JOSE, CALIF. (November 16, 2010) - Virtual PBX™, the inventor
and leading supplier of hosted business phone services, announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has named Virtual
PBX's Open VoIP Peering as a recipient of the 2010 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence
Award, presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY
magazine.
Virtual PBX is the first hosted PBX company to offer an open VoIP peering option,
which is ideal for users who already have VoIP phones or want to reap the cost benefits
of moving to VoIP without being limited to proprietary, single-vendor solutions.
The service opens up greater opportunities for businesses that need the flexibility
to mix and match a VoIP network with any SIP-compliant phone. This truly "blended"
service gives businesses unprecedented flexibility, as they can choose to use a
VoIP network for cost savings or standard phone lines for better call quality.
"Innovation is top of mind for us as we focus on delivering superior products that
meet the needs of our customers," said Paul Hammond, CEO of Virtual PBX. "We continue
to see an enthusiastic response from our users, who've indicated their desire for
VoIP services that don't tie them down to proprietary solutions. We are delighted
that INTERNET TELEPHONY has recognized our innovative technology for two consecutive
years."
Open VoIP Peering works with any solution that is fully SIP-compliant and uses the
North American Numbering Plan (NANP) phone number format for destination identification.
All calls sent from Virtual PBX will go directly to the appropriate network, which
ensures the highest level of quality when calls are translated between standard
phone lines and VoIP networks.
"The editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY were pleased to grant Virtual PBX with an INTERNET
TELEPHONY Excellence Award for the company's achievements in advancing IP communications
and providing genuine solutions in the marketplace. Virtual PBX's Open VoIP Peering
has proven its outstanding contribution to IP communications and delivered winning
solutions for its users," said Eric Linask, group editorial director of INTERNET TELEPHONY.
"Virtual PBX has been recognized with a 2010 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award
for proving their dedication and excellence in advancing IP communications," stated
Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.
The 2010 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award winners are published in the October
2010 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine,
