The Mitel Networks` 5230 IP Appliance has been named by Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC`s) Internet Telephony magazine as a Product of the Year winner for 2002. Internet Telephony is a premier publication in the rapidly growing IP telephony industry.
"In examining the benefits of IP communications, the desktop presents a tremendous opportunity to extend new benefits and services to the edge of the network," said Andy Bull, director of Mitel Networks South Africa.
"With the introduction of the 5230 IP Appliance, Mitel Networks is extending its award-winning IP desktop portfolio to leverage the tremendous growth of the personal digital assistant (PDA) within the enterprise. Users now have the ability to benefit from a new breed of device that enables them to dock a PDA directly into their phone and have their preferences immediately associated with that location, enabling true location transparency across the network," said Bull.
"Mitel Networks 5230 IP Appliance is a clear leader in the IP Phone sector of the IP telephony industry. We`re proud to reward their hard work and innovation with a Product of the Year Award for 2002," said Rich Tehrani, president of TMC and group editor-in-chief of Internet Telephony.
According to Internet Telephony editorial director Greg Galitzine: "Mitel Networks deserved the honour of Product of the Year due to a proven commitment to producing quality products.
"The Product of the Year award is meant not only to honour the outstanding teams who developed and manufactured the products and services on our winning list, but also to educate our readers on the vast array of offerings in this market. Choosing the winners was a difficult process, and we spent many hours studying the applications we received from vendors, as well as looking through materials we collected on our own over the past year," said Galitzine.
"The Internet Telephony Product of the Year Awards are an important tradition and the perfect way for us to honour companies developing cutting-edge products and services," added Marc Robins, TMC`s Vice-President of Publications and Trade Shows.
