Dave Dadds, chairman of the judging panel said, “This new award has stimulated the rapidly developing VoIP sector. We were deluged with entries, which covered a wide range of products including mobile, VoIP, service providers, resellers and manufacturers, demonstrating hyperactivity in this market. The landscape is changing. Now networks can be deployed by small companies offering flexibility and simplicity as well as the larger players.
“The judges were looking for suppliers that can demonstrate innovation, excellence and best practice, which particularly meet the needs of the customer and are deliverable today.
