Iwatsu at ITEXPO

December 20, 2005

As the holidays approach us one cannot stop to think about how exciting the year is going to be in the VoIP space next year. I expect another record-setting year for the VoIP market. For example the number of announcements of new products and services expected at Internet Telephony Conference & Expo is staggering… Perhaps the most I have ever seen.

Here is one that was just sent to me:

Iwatsu Voice Networks to Feature Enterprise 2.0 Communications Server and New Platinum Series Terminals at Upcoming INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Conference & EXPO East 2006 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

IRVING, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/20/2005 -- Iwatsu Voice Networks (IVN) today announced they will have the latest version of their Enterprise Communications Server and new Platinum Series terminals on display at the TMC™ INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO East 2006. The conference will be held January 24-27, at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO is the nation's premier event for showcasing leading cost-saving and cutting-edge IP telephony products and services.

"Iwatsu's participation at the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO is a primary reason why this show is widely recognized as the industry's #1 venue to test, compare, and learn about the benefits and cost-savings inherent in IP telephony products and services," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and conference chairman. "The evolution in this industry has been monumental and it still continues to grow. We are proud to have Iwatsu Voice Networks and its Enterprise 2.0 as a key part of this year's program."

The Enterprise 2.0 Communications Server, powered by QuadFusion™ Technology, is the only telephony system that merges the four predominate communications protocols (VoIP, TDM, SIP and H.323) onto one platform without the need for external servers. The new Platinum Series station terminals incorporate the award winning ePod that provides a mouse-like interface for feature access.

"The release of Enterprise 2.0 provides SMBs maximum flexibility to grow and adjust communications resources to meet constantly changing business priorities," says David Carissimi, President Iwatsu Voice Networks. "The new Platinum Series stations incorporate an award-winning ergonomically designed ePod that fits today's computer driven desktop." Full release.

Amazingly the show is just 30 days or so away and I can’t wait to escape the cold and head down there.

Happy holidays to all my faithful readers. Have a safe, happy and healthy new year.
