Allworx Receives 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award for Second Year


Flagship Communications System Honored For
Exceptional VoIP/IP Solutions for Small, Medium Businesses

EAST ROCHESTER, N.Y., October 16, 2008 — Allworx (www.allworx.com), which develops Internet Protocol-based (IP) phone systems that deliver new capabilities and efficiency to small and medium-size businesses, today said Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has presented a 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award to Allworx and its 24x VoIP Communications System.  The award was announced this week by Internet Telephony magazine, published by TMC.

The Allworx 24x, which can support up to 150 users, is the flagship of a family of all-in-one products that integrate a sophisticated phone system, Internet Protocol-based (IP) phones and powerful software tools into one cost-effective solution.  The combination increases business productivity and typically reduces total costs.

Allworx systems can simultaneously support advanced SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunking as well as traditional circuits including T-1, PRI (Primary Rate Interface) and FXO (Foreign Exchange Office).  This allows customers to maintain critical phone-system features they currently rely on while migrating to the advanced capabilities of VoIP at their own pace.  As a result, Allworx systems are an ideal replacement for the millions of aging TDM PBX (Time Division Multiplexing Private Branch Exchange) and key phone systems still in use today.

The 2008 Excellence Award marks the fourth consecutive year that Allworx has been honored by TMC.  Allworx received a “Product of the Year Award” in 2005, 2006 and 2007; an “Excellence Award” in 2006; and was named “Best of Show” for the “Best SMB Solution” in 2008 at the Internet Telephony Conference and Expo East earlier this year.

“We are proud to present Allworx with a 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award.  The 24x has proven its outstanding contribution to IP communications and delivered winning solutions for its customers,” said Rich Tehrani, Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY. 

Greg Galitzine, Editorial Director of INTERNET TELEPHONY, added, “The Allworx 24x excels in delivering powerful, future-proof communications, and Allworx customers are extremely pleased as demonstrated by their testaments of support. Taking risks to advance VoIP technology and provide real solutions has earned Allworx recognition from the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY and an INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award.”

“Allworx products are designed to address the real-world communications challenges of small and medium businesses,” said Jeff Szczepanski, Allworx Founder and Chief Technical Officer.  “We are very pleased that TMC again has honored our efforts to address customer needs.  We share this award with our nationwide network of Allworx Authorized Resellers, who exemplify the excellence that our customers have come to rely on.”

The Allworx product suite includes the award-winning Allworx 24x and 6x IP-PBXs and the Allworx 9100 and 9200 SIP phones, along with a series of software options including: Call Assistant; Call Queuing; Conference Center; and Dual language packs.
