Vancouver, BC, Canada — April 06, 2017

CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ: CPAH) (TSX: PATH), a global provider of award-winning, over-the-top (OTT) Unified Communications (UC) solutions for enterprises and carriers, today announced that it has been named as a 2017 Unified Communications Product of the Year Award Winner.

Bria X enables secure voice, video, messaging, presence and screen sharing overlaying any existing IP-based call server, across any device and using any network. Designed to help bridge the gap between technology, efficiency and seamless communications – Bria X offers teams, big or small, the ability to scale their business phone system as the need arises with trending business conditions and a growing mobile workforce all through a centralized provisioning dashboard. Bria X empowers IT managers to deploy a full-featured UC solution that uses a centralized web portal to provision all softphones, regardless of user location, and without the need to re-invest in new IT infrastructure.

“We designed a product that enabled businesses to leverage their existing IT network and infrastructure to bring disparate and legacy systems together in a more unified way to increase ongoing collaboration and productivity,” said Todd Carothers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, CounterPath. “I have not seen another offering like Bria X that enables softphones to transform the tethered desk phone experience into a dynamic voice, video, messaging, presence and collaboration offering over existing call server deployments. IT managers are enabling a totally new and feature-rich upgrade without touching their infrastructure instantly via our Bria X web portal—now that’s powerful.”
