Eicon Networks Receives TMC Labs 2006 Innovation Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine
Eicon’s Diva Server SIPcontrol™ Singled Out for Outstanding Innovation
PLANO, TX, June 20, 2006 – Eicon Networks Corporation (“Eicon”), a global leader in providing world class products and technologies for media processing, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s TMC Labs division named Eicon’s Diva Server SIPcontrol as a 2006 Innovation Award winner from INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
Diva Server SIPcontrol behaves as a SIP User Agent and converts the call control information of the Diva Server telephony board into SIP messages. Voice channels are converted into IP packets and streamed via the RTP protocol into the Vocalocity platform or to another SIP endpoint. This way, Diva Server telephony boards - in combination with Diva Server SIPcontrol™ - act as an IP/PSTN Gateway and provide an open and standards based approach that is compliant with the Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP) and SIP architecture.
“We are honored to be recognized by INTERNET TELEPHONY as a recipient of the Innovation Award. This further validates Eicon’s commitment in the IP marketplace to provide best-of-breed products to the Enterprise, “said Jorgen Scharnowsky, Vice President of Sales, Americas Eicon Networks.
“Diva Server SIPcontrol has clearly demonstrated to the staff of TMC Labs that Eicon’s product is truly innovative in the burgeoning VoIP/IP telephony industry. Never before in this industry has there been a greater need to highlight the most inventive VoIP products and services,” said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.
“The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are based solely upon the uniqueness of the company’s offering or how pioneering the particular product or service is. It is not based on company revenue or number of products sold. It is based on the concept that Diva Server SIPcontrol is innovative.” according to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director.
Keating continued, “Diva Server SIPcontrol deserves this great honor for creating a ground-breaking VoIP product. I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from Eicon as they continue to contribute to the future of the VoIP/IP telephony marketplace.”
The TMC Labs 2006 Innovation Award highlights will be published in the July 2006 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
