CloudTC Announces Availability of Metaswitch Visual Voicemail on Glass 1000 Smart IP Phone at Metaswitch Forum 2011

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Metaswitch Forum 2011 -- CloudTC, a software innovator in business applications and IP telephony, today announced that the CloudTC Glass 1000, the industry's smartest IP phone, now includes a visual voicemail application that is fully compatible with the Metaswitch VoIP solution. The announcement was made at the Metaswitch Forum 2011, the annual gathering of the Metaswitch user community, taking place from October 3-6. Senior executives from CloudTC are here in booth #301 demonstrating the unique attributes of this fully integrated, smart IP communications platform for the enterprise.

"We are excited to return to the Metaswitch Forum to show the exciting enhancements to the Glass 1000 smart IP phone, including adding support for visual voicemail based on the Metaswitch CommPortal Mobile application," said Cheryln Chin, CloudTC vice president of marketing. "Since successfully completing interoperability testing and becoming a Metaswitch Mosaic Certified Partner earlier this year, we have seen significant interest in the Glass 1000 from Metaswitch users and look forward to meeting with them at this year's Forum."

Visual voicemail (voicemail with a visual interface that enables a user to select from a list of messages for playback and obtain a transcript of each message) is an indispensable business tool for mobile phone users, and Glass now brings it to the desktop. Market research firm Synovate surveyed 800 subscribers and found that 75% of the respondents find visual voicemail "somewhat-to-extremely interesting," with over one-third stating they would retrieve more messages if using visual voicemail. This popular feature joins a long list of capabilities that Metaswitch customers are able to access on the Glass 1000:

• Up to 6 lines with call appearances
• Large 8.9" (1024 x 600) Color Touch Screen LCD
• Engaging graphical user interface and navigation menus
• Built in CloudTC App Market
• Integrated Salesforce calling app
• Instant Screen Sharing app
• One touch call transfer and conferencing
• HD Audio

Metaswitch Forum 2011 attendees can access CloudTC product and company information, as well as look up floor maps, session schedules, and other information via the Metaswitch Forum Mobile App.

The Android-based CloudTC Glass 1000 IP phone has been acclaimed by thought leaders in the industry and has achieved interoperability with leading infrastructure vendors representing over 50 percent of the IP communications marketplace. CloudTC is now shipping mass-produced phones to customers in Europe, Asia, and North America. Infrastructure vendors, OEMs, systems integrators, and VoIP service providers have enthusiastically embraced Glass because of the benefits of requiring less time to market, lower investment in R&D, and ability to customize phone features as well as application suites for business users. Because the Glass platform runs on the Android OS, it offers application providers the benefits of an open development environment, flexibility and scalability, and the ability to integrate their applications with unique calling features and a large user screen.
