CloudTC phone gets new VoIP platform

The technology companies 2600hz and CloudTC have announced the integration of Whistle, the distributed scalable VoIP platform, with the CloudTC Glass 1000 IP phone.

The combination offers enterprise users enhanced business productivity apps, such as teleconferencing and call transcription, alongside advanced telephony features, such as one-touch dialing and instant screen sharing. The two companies demonstrated their new product at last week’s ITEXPO West in Austin, Texas.

Based in San Francisco, 2600hz is now an authorized distributor of CloudTC Glass smart IP phones, and will begin offering this integrated solution through a beta program to its VoIP carrier customers.

“We are excited to partner with CloudTC and enable business customers to deploy a hosted VoIP solution faster while spending less time managing infrastructure,” said 2600hz CEO and co-founder Darren Schreiber. “Whistle and Glass make an unbeatable combination.”

Whistle is a carrier-grade, distributed VoIP applications platform that provides the security and scalability of a hosted solution for organizations ranging from small businesses to the largest enterprises, according to a news release issued by the two companies.

The CloudTC Glass 1000 incorporates the benefits of the Android operating system, combining voice calls with advanced productivity features. VoIP software providers like 2600hz have embraced Glass because of its benefits of requiring less time to market, lower investment in R&D, and the ability to customize phone features and application suites for business users.
