RYE BROOK, N.Y.—January 6, 2011—Broadview Networks announced that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has awarded its OfficeSuite™ USB Phone TMC’s 2010 INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine Excellence Award.

The annual INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Awards are given to companies that present case studies of IP communications success experienced by a client who deploys the nominated product or service. Awards are based on demonstrated improvements that the winner's product or service has made in a client's business operations.

“Customers appreciate having all the features of an office phone in the convenient, portable form factor of a USB stick. By placing these capabilities into a small and easy-to-use device, OfficeSuite USB Phone keeps the productivity factor high for virtual workers and mobile professionals while also keeping costs in check for their companies,” said Jeff Blackey, Broadview Network’s senior vice president of marketing. OfficeSuite is a cost-effective, reliable hosted IP phone solution that delivers everything businesses need to communicate over the phone and online, including phones, robust calling plans, more than 40 features, Internet access and a web-based portal for easy administration—all without requiring any capital investment or increase in support staff.

The OfficeSuite USB Phone is a PC-based softphone that is completely integrated with the OfficeSuite system, offering mobile professionals full office phone functionality through any PC wherever they travel. The OfficeSuite USB Phone functions like a desk phone—it uses the same extension and accesses the same features such as call forwarding, extension-to-extension dialing and voicemail—offering seamless communication from anywhere. The USB Phone can be used from virtually any Internet-connected PC, even a borrowed laptop or an Internet café machine. It is compatible with PCs that run Windows 2000, XP and Vista; includes 1 GB of memory; and comes with a microphone and ear buds.
