AltiGen Communications announced that Technology Marketing Corporation INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has named the IP 705 VoIP Phone as a recipient of a 2006 Product of the Year Award. INTERNET TELEPHONY has been the VoIP Authority Since 1998.

Designed exclusively for AltiGen IP Phone Systems, the IP 705 is AltiGen's second telephone to offer advanced VoIP technology while still providing standard business features such as paging, multiple line appearances, and busy lamp fields. The IP 705 provides a subset of the flagship IP 710 VoIP telephone's features while offering the same level of voice quality at a reduced price.

"INTERNET TELEPHONY is proud to bestow AltiGen Communications with a 2006 Product of the Year Award. Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine recognizes companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements," said Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. "AltiGen has proven they are committed to quality and excellence while addressing real needs in the marketplace. We're proud to honor their hard work and accomplishments and look forward to more innovative solutions from them in the future."

A full list of Product of the Year winners will be published in the February 2007 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

"We are excited the IP 705 has been chosen as a recipient of this year's Product of the Year Award from INTERNET TELEPHONY," said AltiGen CEO, Gilbert Hu. "The advanced features and voice quality offered in this phone, combined with attractive pricing for small-to-mid sized businesses provides tremendous value to our customers and significantly strengthens our competitive IP telephone product set with a mid-level VoIP telephone."
