PIKA Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software, announced that PIKA Warp, the Appliance for Asterisk, has been named a winner of a “Best of Show” Award at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)’s INTERNET TELEPHONY Conference and EXPO East 2008. TMC reports that the conference was attended by over 7,100 people at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami from January 23-25, 2008.
PIKA Warp, the Appliance for Asterisk, provides developers with an out-of-the-box embedded computer that allows them to deploy Asterisk, trixbox and other Linux-based applications with a rich set of traditional and next-generation telephony features, optimized for the SMB environment. By using the Appliance, application developers have the functionality of a key service unit at an attractive cost in a smaller footprint. Completely customizable, the Appliance is compatible with VoIP and analog trunks and telephones.
“This award drives home the fact that the Appliance is an outstanding piece of technology that meets an unmet need for application developers,” said Terry Atwood, PIKA’s vice president of sales, marketing and customer care. “We are delighted to be recognized with this award by TMC, which is such an influential channel in our marketplace.”
“PIKA Technologies and their innovative product PIKA WARP, the Appliance for Asterisk, are a standout indication of why so many enterprise buyers, developers, resellers and service providers flock to INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & EXPO,” said TMC President and Conference Chairman, Rich Tehrani. “Their innovation and commitment to quality attracted many serious prospects to their booth. Attendees knew they'd find solutions in the PIKA Technologies booth that would help them in their businesses today.”
The Best of Show awards are presented to companies unveiling the most impressive new products or new releases at the show. Each winner displayed and demonstrated their product on the INTERNET TELEPHONY Expo show floor.
A full list of the winners appears on the TMC Web site, www.tmcnet.com, and will be published in the March 2008 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY® magazine.
