IP phone manufacturer snom technology AG has announced that it was honored with an award for “Most Innovative VoIP Product” at The Internet Telephony (News - Alert) Services Providers’ Association at its annual ITSPA Awards event.

 

The award, which snom won for its 'snom 870' phone, recognizes companies that have delivered a dynamic and user-friendly product that has proven its value in the VoIP marketplace, according to ITSPA. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Berlin, snom technology AG (News - Alert) also has an office in North Andover, Mass. The company distributes its fourth generation SIP phones through its network of authorized reseller partners in Europe, South America, Asia-Pac, Africa and Australia.

 

The 870 desktop phone reportedly impressed judges with its touchscreen technology and high-definition TFT color display, qualities which make the phone much more user-friendly than other models.

 

According to snom, the 870 allows user to easily handle even complex applications like swapping of calls, or establishment of conference calls for up to five participants via simple “drag and drop.”

 

“We are very proud to have received such a prestigious accolade,” Usman Tahir, product manager for snom’s 8xx VoIP phone series. “The 870 is snom’s flagship product and we put innovation at the top of our priority list when we were designing it.
