Global Crossing has selected CounterPath's eyeBeam softphone as part of its market offering in South America. The IP Telephony softphone enables enterprise workers to use their PC to access their full suite of corporate telephony services - including voice, video and Instant Messaging features - from any broadband connection in the world.

The softphone offering is customized for Global Crossing's worldwide IP network and integrates with Global Crossing Ready-Access conferencing service. Ready-Access is a hosted, on-demand audio and Web conferencing solution that services the collaborative needs of today's distributed knowledge workers. While in a Ready-Access conference the moderator can mute participants, lock the conference, dial-out to additional participants and record the call, all from a visual panel within their softphone.

The Global Crossing softphone has currently been introduced in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
