The IPCS 310's ability to intelligently and proactively protect the network and end users really sets the product apart," said Krishna Kurapati, Sipera Founder and CTO. "This award reinforces the growing importance of security to the successful deployment of VoIP infrastructure and services."

"The IPCS 310 has clearly demonstrated to the staff of TMC Labs that Sipera's product is truly innovative in the burgeoning VoIP/IP telephony industry. Never before in this industry has there been a greater need to highlight the most inventive VoIP products and services," said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Internet Telephony.

"The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are based solely upon the uniqueness of the company's offering or how pioneering the particular product or service is. It is not based on company revenue or number of products sold. It is based on the concept that Sipera is innovative," according to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director.

Keating continued, "Sipera deserves this great honor for creating a ground-breaking VoIP product. I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from Sipera as it continues to contribute to the future of the VoIP/IP telephony marketplace."
