Brussels, BELGIUM, January 25, 2005 -- Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call control products, today announced that its SnowShore Media Server(tm), an open, carrier-class IP media server, was honored with a Product of the Year Award from Internet Telephony® magazine. The SnowShore Media Server provides flexible media processing resources that can support a broad range of applications, from basic messaging and multiparty conferencing to prepaid services and network announcements.
In 2004, Brooktrout announced the SnowShore Media Server's support of the H.263 video compression standard for video messaging and video portal applications. The application delivers compelling voice/data services across a single, flexible, highly scaleable platform. Because it utilizes industry-standard server platforms and standards-based IP protocols such as SIP and MSCML, the SnowShore Media Server can leverage the ongoing evolution of network architectures and processor technology to deliver a flexible media processing solution for next-generation IP applications.
"Brooktrout's SnowShore Media Server has been a pioneer in this market since its introduction. They were the first to introduce a SIP media server and the first media server on an open platform," said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Internet Telephony Magazine. "By supporting the video compression standard for video messaging, Brooktrout has enabled mobile subscribers to view and purchase video content thus helping to drive the rapid delivery of SIP applications across wireless infrastructures. For their video innovation, we are pleased to award Brooktrout's SnowShore Media Server a Internet Telephony Product of the Year award for 2005."
"Brooktrout has pioneered the development and definition of future architectures and protocols including SIP and VoiceXML. Led by our CTO of Next Gen Communications, Eric Burger, we have spearheaded the drive for new standards development to meet market requirements that help define a new generation of multimedia services," said Peter Vescuso, Vice President of Market Development for Brooktrout Technology. "We are honored that Internet Telephony recognizes this work and has awarded us with a product of the year award."
