The Rise of AudioCodes IP phones

October 14, 2016

AudioCodes is an excellent choice when it comes to VoIP phones and networking products. In the world of IP communications, they are leaders in end-to-end solutions for enterprise, and a globally recognized authority on VoIP technology since 1993. With market penetration in more than 100 countries around the globe, you know they’re doing something right.

More and more global companies are migrating to a unified communications environment for all their telephony needs, and it just makes sense. The service cost reduction and the rich suite of additional integrations, like video conferencing, messaging, email and full integration with the company’s CRM push its usefulness way beyond just making and receiving phone calls. With the ability to connect teams no matter where they are, it is an essential collaborative tool for global enterprise. In fact, the California market researching and consulting company Grand View Research predicts that the global UC market will hit $75 billion by the year 2020, and those aren’t numbers that can be overlooked.

AudioCodes and Innovation

One of the biggest concerns with IP phones today is call quality, and this is where AudioCodes stands head and shoulders above the rest. With a focus on unified communications solutions for vendors that include Microsoft Skype for Business, Avaya, Shoretel and more, their solutions are designed with enterprise in mind, delivering a seamless experience that is as elegant as it is intelligent.

Since the widespread adoption of UC began, AudioCodes has always been on the leading edge of innovation in IP phone technology. By focusing their efforts on providing solutions for enterprise clients, they are catering to a clientele with the highest of expectations, meaning that everybody benefits in the end. They have essentially grown their market share based on the quality and integrity of their offerings. Their phones, especially, have captured hordes of devotees who love their handsets and headsets for their call clarity, intelligent noise-cancelling technology and lots of other nifty features that help them be more productive on the job.

The AudioCodes Evolution

AudioCodes made its name as a pioneer in voice coding, DSP and voice processing technology. Since it opened its doors in 1993, AudioCodes has been dedicated to providing VoIP and data solutions for enterprises and service providers all over the world. By taking a collaborative approach, they have been able to infiltrate the market with devices and solutions that integrate with legacy systems as easily as they do newer UC deployments. Simply by making it easier for companies to make the transition to an all VoIP environment, they have positioned themselves as the answer to the communications industry’s biggest problems.

Synonymous with quality, AudioCodes voice compression technology set the standard for multimedia and visual telephony applications in the mid-1990’s. AudioCodes technology went on to compliment a multitude of commercially deployed VoIP systems – including one of the very first, spearheaded by a company called Vocaltec. By 1996, a PC-to-phone application was launched, and not too far behind that was a phone-to-phone VoIP product that did not require the use of a computer at all. Heading into the millennium, more than 40% of all VoIP traffic in the world was routed through AudioCoded systems.

AudioCodes Releases the New 450HD IP Phone

As technology continues to evolve, so does the AudioCodes portfolio of VoIP phone systems. With the introduction of the 400HD series of IP phones in early 2013, we have seen quality increase and cost reduced for the total UC buy-in. To remain on top amongst their peers, they have advanced the features and functionality of their phones, and at the same time have been able to improve call quality, even under the poorest network conditions.

With each successive release in the 400HD realm, they have managed to up the ante, and 2016 is no exception. With the release of the 450HD, they’ve taken everything that’s great about the series and added an even more intuitive user interface and extensive UC functionality designed specifically for the Skype for Business environment. Like all other AudioCodes devices, it can be deployed as a component of a fully managed IP solution, complete with a suite of phone management utilities.

Some of the new, upgraded features in this executive phone include:

  • Huge 5” high resolution touch screen
  • Intuitive user interface
  • Support for conferencing and management of multiple calls
  • Displays contact’s photos
  • High definition call quality
  • SILK voice coder support
  • Robust security features
  • Full SIP protocol support

And so much more. If you’re looking for one VoIP phone solution that does it all, the 450HD is the answer.
