GS8 Modular Gateway Honored for Outstanding Innovation

MILPITAS, CA, 15 June 2008 – Zed-3 announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) named the GS8 modular gateway as a 2008 TMC Labs Innovation Award winner presented by its publication, INTERNET TELEPHONY.

Zed-3 introduced the GS8 modular gateway a month ago. The system accommodates plug in modules for analog, GSM, and CDMA. The system permits connectivity of phone calls between any of these interfaces and the SIP interface on the Ethernet port; it is unique in this functionality. The product allows a business or enterprise to make and receive calls on a cellular phone network thereby providing cost savings, convenience, and improved customer service.

“This award is a strong testament to the work we have done to bring the product to market,” said Iain Milnes, president of Zed-3. “The product has proved immensely popular since we introduced it and our customers are also voting positively about the product’s usefulness.”

“Zed-3 has demonstrated to the staff of TMC Labs that the GS8 modular gateway is indeed truly innovative in the IP Communications industry. The GS8 modular gateway has made contributions which have resulted in significant advancement to the industry,” said TMC President Rich Tehrani. “We’re proud to reward Zed-3’s hard work with a TMC Labs Innovation Award this year.”

By installing a GS8 modular gateway, a company’s phone system can direct calls over the mobile phone network based on convenience or cost. For example, an executive who is out of the office may not want people to know his or her mobile phone number. Calls to the executive at the company’s phone system can be routed to the executive’s mobile phone seamlessly and transparently to the caller.

“The Innovation Awards exemplify the best and the most unique products and services that this industry has to offer. Zed-3 has proven their commitment to quality and the further development of the IP communications industry through its GS8 modular gateway,” added Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs Editorial Director. “My congratulations go to Zed-3 for earning this great honor. I look forward to seeing more innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of IP communications.”

The TMC Labs Innovation Awards honor products that display innovation, unique features, and significant contributions toward improving communications technology. The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are not necessarily granted to the best-selling products, but instead to those that break new ground in the industry.

The INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs 2008 Innovation Award highlights will be published in the July and August 2008 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

 

Pricing and Availability

The GS8 modular gateway and plug in modules are available in distribution now. A fully configured system with four GSM modules has a list price of less than $2225.
