AudioCodes, a leading vendor of advanced voice networking and
media processing solutions for the digital workplace, today
announced a wide range of innovative enhancements to its One Voice
for Microsoft 365 portfolio of products, solutions and services for
Microsoft intelligent communications. The new features deliver
enhanced voice functionality for Microsoft Teams and Skype for
Business in the areas of phone devices, voice connectivity,
management and monitoring, and application development.
Phone Devices
The AudioCodes C450HD color touch-screen IP phone will be
generally available later this year. The C450HD is a native Teams
phone that also supports Skype for Business environments, making it
a perfect solution for organizations planning to migrate from Skype
for Business to Teams. In addition, AudioCodes is announcing
an insurance policy offering full credit back on 400HD IP phone
purchases upon replacement with Microsoft Teams native C450HD,
along with a "buy 10, get 1 free" promotion for C450HD IP phones
for Microsoft Teams deployments.
Voice Connectivity
AudioCodes Mediant SBCs support Direct Routing for Microsoft
Teams, enabling simple integration between Teams and
Bring-Your-Own-Trunk (BYOT) SIP trunk services. AudioCodes SBCs'
advanced media optimization mechanisms help improve voice quality
and reduce bandwidth consumption for distributed enterprise and
service provider Teams deployments.
The Mediant Virtual Edition (VE) SBC is now available for
deployment in Microsoft Azure and is listed on Azure Marketplace.
Later this year, Mediant Cloud Edition (CE) SBC, a cloud-native,
elastic SBC platform with "micro-services" architecture, will be
available for deployment in Azure as well, including support for
high availability.
For large distributed organizations using Teams combined with
AudioCodes Direct Routing SBCs for their voice infrastructure, the
AudioCodes Routing Manager (ARM) delivers centralized call control
and routing policy management, enabling least-cost and
quality-based routing along with enhanced support for emergency
calls.
Management and Monitoring
The AudioCodes One Voice Operations Center (OVOC) now supports
voice quality monitoring of calls between Teams and the PSTN and
SIP trunks. Furthermore, the User Management Pack 365™
(UMP 365) solution now delivers full user lifecycle support for
Microsoft Teams users, including one-click user migration from
Skype for Business. Full integration between OVOC and UMP 365
enables alarms and statistics to be generated by OVOC, down to the
level of individual users. User Management Pack 365 and IP Phone
Manager Express are now listed on Azure Marketplace.
Application Development
With support for the Microsoft Calling API, AudioCodes is now
developing advanced, AI-based enterprise voice applications and
bots which are fully integrated with Teams and AudioCodes One Voice
portfolio.
"AudioCodes is firmly aligned with Microsoft's vision for
'Intelligent Communications'", commented Nimrode Borovsky, VP
Global Marketing at AudioCodes. "The latest enhancements to our One
Voice for Microsoft 365 offering reinforce our commitment to
delivering innovative and effective voice solutions for Microsoft
Teams and Skype for Business environments."
