TelcoBridges™ Inc., the preferred hardware and software supplier for telecom solution developers, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® Magazine – the VoIP authority since 1998 - has named TelcoBridges’ Tmedia platform a recipient of the 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award.  Today’s victory is the second award within the last four weeks for the Tmedia family – which also received a “Best-of-Show” award at the recent ITEXPO West event.

TelcoBridges’ Tmedia TMG3200 is a pre-packaged and ready-to-deploy media gateway, used by some of the largest operators in the world.  It is widely considered to be the highest density platform on the market - providing 2048 universal VoIP channels, with up to 64 T1/E1, triple DS3 or STM-1 support in each 1U box.  It is the most efficient platform on the market - requiring less than 0.06 watts of power per channel, which is 30%-80% more efficient than competitive media gateways.  

“The editorial staff of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine is proud to include TelcoBridges’ Tmedia offering among our winners,” said Greg Galitzine, Editorial Director of INTERNET TELEPHONY.  We’ve seen first-hand – at ITEXPO and at other industry events - the reaction that TelcoBridges’ customers and prospects share when they discuss the Tmedia family.  We’ve honored Tmedia with an IT Excellence Award because its performance lives up to its reputation.”   

“This is the 5^th overall award for the Tmedia product line – providing an industry-wide validation of our product strategy, our vision, and the prowess of our world-class engineering team,” said Gaetan Campeau, President and CEO of TelcoBridges.  “We thank TMC for honouring our accomplishments, yet this is just part of the picture:  the rest of the endorsement comes from TelcoBridges customers, who are using our solutions to help achieve their business goals in more than 45 different countries.”
