VANCOUVER, Canada – January 18,
2006
 Convedia,
the leading supplier of VoIP and IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS) media processing platforms, has received a 2005
Product of the Year Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY®
Magazine. As a repeat winner of this prestigious award,
Convedia has once again been recognized for its innovation
and continued industry leadership in IP multimedia processing
products for wireless, wireline, and cable services providers,
as well as large enterprise customers.
“Convedia Media Servers continue to set a high bar
for performance and innovation in IP media processing,”
said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief
of INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine. “And with their
shared multimedia processing platforms that are accessible
by a broad variety of third party applications, Convedia
media servers make it easy for carriers to deliver exciting,
next-generation applications to any endpoint device in
an IP communications network. IMS architecture and fixed
mobile convergence are now gaining serious momentum in
the industry – concepts that are completely aligned
with many of the service architecture principles Convedia
pioneered back in 2000 with its CMS-6000 Media Server.
With a track record for creating visionary and industry-shaping
products, Convedia was a clear choice for our Product
of the Year Award.”
During 2005, Convedia announced over 10 new customers,
including XO Interactive, Premiere Conferencing, Elitel,
Covad, SunRocket, Lightyear, PowerNet Global, Bandwidth.com,
STS Telecom, and VoEx. Convedia’s channel-based
distribution strategy with leading telecom equipment vendors
and application partners have together deployed over 800
Convedia Media Servers to more than 175 customers in 30
countries around the globe, including over 25 of the top
50 service providers worldwide. Convedia continues to
introduce IMS media processing features, further strengthening
the firm’s position as the leading Multimedia Resource
Function Processor (MRFP) solution for IMS architecture
deployments.
“Convedia is honored to once again receive the 2005
Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award,” said
Grant Henderson, Convedia's Executive Vice President of
Marketing and Strategy. “Receiving this award yet
again validates our consistency in developing media processing
products that align with industry trends. IMS and fixed
mobile convergence will require sophisticated multi-service
media processing platforms to thrive, and Convedia is
focused towards fulfilling that demand with products that
facilitate innovative, yet economical IP-based communication
services for wireline, wireless, and enterprise telecommunication
customers.”
Convedia’s award-winning family
of carrier-class IP Media Servers reduce capital and ongoing
operational costs by consolidating the functions of traditional

response units (IVR/VRU), audio/video conference bridges,
voice mail servers, and speech platforms onto a single
shared media processing platform. Convedia works closely
with leading network equipment providers, application
developers, and system integrators to deliver some of
the industry’s most innovative and cost-effective
network and enhanced service solutions for service provider
and large enterprise customers.
