IP Unity Harmony6000™ Media Server Wins 2004 TMC™ Labs Innovation Award
Company also noted for its role in Siemens ICN HiPath 8000 winMILPITAS, Calif. — August 9, 2004— IP Unity, the market leader in IP service solutions for blended TDM and IP networks, announced today that the company's flagship Harmony6000 Media Server has been awarded a 2004 Innovation Award from TMC Labs. The company is also singled out as a support player in TMC Labs' selection of Siemens Information and Communication Networks' HiPath 8000 Real-Time IP System for a similar accolade in the IP PBX category.
Since 1999,TMC Labs has bestowed between 12 and 27 Innovation Awards annually to the company and product best displaying uniqueness and innovation in each key Internet Telephony/VoIP product category. For 2004, IP Unity was the sole Media Server selected.
"One of the Harmony6000's most innovative aspects is that it offers a complete messaging, conferencing and IVR solution rather than just 'one piece of the pie' or just being a media server," stated Executive Technology Editor of TMC Labs Tom Keating.
He continued, "Combined with their claim of five 9's of reliability and NEBS 3 compliance, you'd be hard pressed to find a better solution on the market today. Additional, applications from IP Unity also enable the Siemens ICN HiPath 8000 to accomplish the scaling, customization and bundling of capabilities ranging from simple voice mail to unified messaging, auto attendant and multimedia Web conferencing."
IP Unity has been highly successful in building a volume base of carrier deployments for its Harmony6000 over the past year, and very active in releasing product enhancements. The company now counts three of four RBOCs, three of the dominant North American cable operators and a growing list of international providers in its customer base. It has also released a voicemail service migration toolkit, a video chat feature set, new OAM&P tools, message waiting features over cable TV, and enhanced conferencing functionality.
"We are pleased to be recognized for our continuous track record of innovation," observed Dr. Arun Sobti, chairman and CEO of IP Unity. "We're truly carrier-grade and carrier-guided in our creative efforts, striving to break new ground in our feature development, driven by what providers say they want to see next. This is resulting in solid market uptake for us, and in rapid deployment because our feature sets are on carriers' roadmaps and rollout schedules. It is great to be recognized in our own right, and as a key supporting partner to Siemens ICN, as well."
