Virtual Office Feature: Phone.com Execs to Present HD Voice Sessions at ITEXPO East

ITEXPO East 2010is set to feature two presentations by Phone.com’s Ari Rabban (News - Alert), CEO and Alon Cohen, the company’s executive vice president and chief technology officer.

 

Rabban will speak at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 21 in a session called 'Propelling HD Voice to the Mainstream,' and Cohen will speak at 1 p.m. that day in a session called 'HD Vs. SD Can you please spell that phonetically?'

Taking place Jan. 20-22, at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami, Fla., ITEXPO (News - Alert) is the world’s largest and best-attended IP Communications trade show. The East Coast event last February of 2009 drew more than 8,000 buyers and sellers of IP Communications products and services. The show in January will mark the 11th anniversary and will be the 21st ITEXPO.

'As always, we are very pleased to be presenting to the ITEXPO audience. ITEXPO is the longest and biggest conference dedicated to IP Communications and we are happy to be a part of it,' Rabban said in a statement 'Phone (News - Alert).com is growing nicely and with the addition of our new HD Voice services we look forward to a great 2010. HD Voice is a compelling offering once customers can enjoy the benefits of such high quality sound. We look forward to sharing our thoughts at ITEXPO.'

According to Cohen, Phone.com (News - Alert), a Virtual Officer provider, is speaking at ITEXPO as it is considered a VoIP industry leader in service levels, customer support and in service innovation. The company is often brought in to speak at industry events to help push the industry forward and help professionals to get an update and a fill for what is happening in the industry outside their office.

In reference to Phone.com’s HD Voice, the company is a member of the exclusive group of service providers and vendors that provide HD Voice services to customers. Phone.com aims to promote the HD Voice service when possible and work with other companies to accelerate HD Voice proliferation.

'We are very pleased that Ari and Alon will be participating in this year's show. Phone.com is respected as an industry leader, and I am confident that our attendees will appreciate and value the opportunity to hear their perspective on HD Voice,' TMC CEO Rich Tehrani said. 'Despite economic conditions, widespread deployment of IP Communications services by global service providers, businesses and governments has reinforced that this exciting technology is a viable, cost-effective communications solution. We continue to see a significant number of senior-level executives and high-ranking tech staff attending ITEXPO as a means of learning about the technology so they too can take advantage of its benefits.'

For attendees that visit with Phone.com, Cohen believes they should expect to take away the key point that HD Voice is the first element in a line of features that enables VoIP based Telephony to break away from the standard telephony paradigm that existed for 100 years. The company strives to compete on merits and value to consumers rather than on price.

“This is good news for everyone involved in the industry and even better news to the consumers who will be getting much more value from their phone service at lower cost,” Cohen told TMCnet.

In other Phone.com news, the company participated in a panel at 2010 CES (News - Alert) to provide clients and prospects with a better understanding of HD voice options. The panel was entitled, “HD Voice Summit at the 2010 CES: Communicating the Future.”
