Alcatel Receives Two INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine's Awards for 20042 February 2005
Alcatel (NYSE: ALA; Paris: CGEP.PA) announced today that Technology Marketing
Corporation (TMC(R))'s INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) magazine (http://www.itmag.com )
has named Alcatel as a recipient of two 2004 Product of the Year Awards.
INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998(TM).
Alcatel is recognized for its revolutionary Alcatel IP Touch application
phone and for its eDial Instant Collaboration System(TM) (ICS) conferencing
and collaboration product (eDial was acquired by Alcatel in September, 2004).
"This recognition demonstrates Alcatel's commitment to delivering user-centric
IP communications solutions to enterprises, and marks our continued
recognition for delivering leading products to the market," said Jean Luc
Fourniou, Senior Vice President of Alcatel's Enterprise Solutions activities.
According to Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET
TELEPHONY, "Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the
Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological
advancement and application refinements. Alcatel has demonstrated to the
editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its products or services are committed to
quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace."
Through the use of a combined built-in alpha keyboard and graphical
display on the Alcatel IP Touch phones, users can access enterprise or
internet-based directory data, Web content, enterprise front and back office
applications, text and voice messages, and instant notifications. Alcatel IP
Touch delivers advanced telephony features with superior sound quality, along
with support for Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) and Bluetooth(R). The IP
Touch phones are flexible and open to custom application development for
unique business needs.
The ICS system offers workflow-centric presence-based calling,
conferencing, secure instant messaging, and full web conferencing. The
integration of ICS's communications features and "zero-footprint" client
revolutionizes the rollout of such advanced capabilities in a solution
requiring no software downloads, accommodating PC, MAC, Unix and Linux users
alike. ICS provides the My Teamwork application in the integrated Alcatel
OmniTouch Unified Communications suite and will also be integrated in
Alcatel's multimedia application suite for service providers, enabling them to
deliver new revenue generating Managed Communication Services.
The Product of the Year Award winners for 2004 were published in the
January 2005 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
