In being named to receive this award, M5 has been identified as a truly market-driving company whose pioneering efforts have contributed to the growth of VoIP/IP Telephony. Dan Hoffman, President and CEO of M5 Networks will accept this award at an exclusive dinner at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles on Monday night, October 4th. In addition, Mr. Hoffman will be taking part in the Internet Telephony Conference & Expo's "IP PBX Shootout" on Wednesday, October 6th at 10 AM PDT. During this panel discussion, VoIP PBX manufacturers will debate hosted VoIP service providers to determine which type of VoIP solution works best.
