AudioCodes (NASDAQ: AUDC), a leading vendor of advanced voice
networking and media processing solutions for the digital
workplace, today announced that leading Japanese telecommunications
provider SoftBank has selected AudioCodes products and solutions as
part of its Skype for Business Online based, hosted unified
communications (UC) service. SoftBank has begun deploying
AudioCodes connectivity solutions and IP phones at its business
customers' premises across Japan.
The AudioCodes products deployed by SoftBank include the Mediant
800 CCE Appliance which delivers reliable and flexible on-premises
voice connectivity for Skype for Business Online customers. With
session border controller (SBC), media gateway and Microsoft Cloud
Connector Edition software integrated on a single hardware device,
the Mediant 800 CCE Appliance enables connectivity with legacy
on-premises PBXs and UC platforms as well as with local TDM and SIP
trunks. This helps organizations protect their investment in
existing communications equipment and service provider contracts
during and after the migration to Microsoft's cloud communications
offering.
In addition, SoftBank customers can benefit from AudioCodes
400HD series of high-definition IP phones which offer excellent
voice quality and ease-of-use. The 400HD series includes a range of
models covering virtually all business needs from common-area
phones to high-end executive devices with large color touch
screens.
"AudioCodes' products and solutions are a perfect fit for our
hosted UC offering based on Skype for Business Online," commented
Mr. Akiumi Maekawa, Director of UC Service Department at SoftBank.
"Having a single supplier for all our voice infrastructure needs
enables us to streamline procurement procedures and simplify
support and training, all of which contribute to a reliable and
cost-effective service for our customers."
"Being selected for SoftBank's hosted unified communications
service is an important validation of our One Voice for Microsoft 365 strategy," explained
Nimrode Borovsky, VP of Global Marketing at AudioCodes "After many
years of successful collaboration with Microsoft UC on-premises
deployments, our broad range of certified voice solutions are now
delivering value in cloud-based Skype for Business environments as
well."
