21st February 2006, Milton Keynes, UK - Aculab announced today that its Prosody X product has been named a winner of a Best of Show Award at Technology Marketing Corporation's (TMC®) Internet Telephony Conference and EXPO East 2006. TMC reports that the conference, attended by over 8,000 people last month at the Broward Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was the best-attended VoIP conference ever held.

The recipient of this award, Prosody X, is a state-of-the-art IP-based media processing card from Aculab, and a market leading product with an unprecedented functionality set. It represents the full convergence of IP and traditional TDM voice communications, facilitating the seamless integration of telephony and networking communications. Prosody X PCI delivers the promise of cost efficiencies resulting from technology convergence and is designed with integrated VoIP, media processing and TDM functionality.

Prosody X combines rich media processing functionality with enhanced TiNG DSP architecture, enabling developers to deliver results with the fastest time to market and the lowest cost.

Commenting on this remarkable accolade, Chris Gravett, Sales and Marketing Director at Aculab said, “This award demonstrates recognition and appreciation of Aculab's extensive work to develop this breakthrough technology. Feedback from early adopters has been fantastic and we have continued to experience a tremendous demand for Prosody X.”
