Many businesses rely on the SIP protocol for their voice and video communications. The SIP protocol has helped spawn hundreds of VoIP products and services. This month, we start with Radware ( News - Alert) and end with Zed-3. The complete winners list have been published in both issues, however we published the detailed write-ups last month starting in alphabetical order - beginning with Adtran and ending with Polycom. TMC Labs is proud to announce our 24 picks for this year’s TMC Labs Innovation Awards, which has been published in two parts in order to accommodate our in-depth write-ups for the winners. We had some interesting HD (high-definition) video offerings from LifeSize and Polycom. In the unified communications space we had winners from Iwatsu, Mitel, Siemens ( News - Alert), and Toshiba.
This year marked several strong contenders in these specific areas: mobile, testing tools, video, and unified communications.
2008 was no exception with only 24 winners for this prestigious award. Further, TMC Labs takes great pride in the stringent selection process for this award which typically only grants a couple dozen recipients as winners. While others have tried to copy the premise of these awards recognizing the true innovators in IP communications, only the TMC Labs Innovation Awards goes back 9 years.
As such, one of the most exciting parts of the year is to review the most innovative and unique products and services in IP communications for the TMC Labs Innovation Awards. It has been truly remarkable to witness the evolution from proprietary PBXs with CTI ( News - Alert) links to PC-PBXs, then from PC-PBXs to IP-PBXs, and finally to unified communications platforms. TMC ( News - Alert) Labs has been testing, examining, and reviewing products since 1994 and the favorite part of our job is seeing new products and technologies. Innovation is defined as the introduction of a new idea into the marketplace in the form of a new product or service, or an improvement in organization or process.
