EdenTree Technologies Receives TMC Labs 2006 Innovation Award for INTERNET TELEPHONY(R) Magazine; EdenTree(TM) Lab Manager Singled Out for Outstanding Innovation

Posted on: Thursday, 20 July 2006, 12:00 CDT

EdenTree Technologies, innovator of lab management and test automation solutions, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation's TMC Labs division named EdenTree Lab Manager as a 2006 Innovation Award winner from INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.

Lab Manager is an open "lab operating system" that automates network labs, including those involving VoIP systems and services. Lab Manager works with any kind of network equipment, managing physical layer infrastructure to which test equipment and devices under test (DUT) are connected. The result is a software-controlled lab environment with a simple, drag-and-drop user interface that allows engineers to easily and remotely design and implement topologies. The company has recently launched Lab Manager 5.0, a totally re-architected version of the software designed to be more open, scalable, and modular.

"Our VoIP customers have told us that Lab Manager has dramatically reduced the cost and complexity of testing their systems and networks, especially when taking into consideration the extreme diversity of devices that must be tested for end-to-end interoperability," said Jay Oyakawa, EdenTree president and CEO. "It's gratifying to have the hard work and innovation that our employees have poured into Lab Manager be recognized by a leading publication such as INTERNET TELEPHONY."

"The EdenTree Lab Manager solution has clearly demonstrated to the staff of TMC Labs that EdenTree is truly innovative in the burgeoning VoIP/IP telephony industry. Never before in this industry has there been a greater need to highlight the most inventive VoIP products and services," said Rich Tehrani, Group Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.

"The TMC Labs Innovation Awards are based solely upon the uniqueness of the company's offering or how pioneering the particular product or service is. It is not based on company revenue or number of products sold. It is based on the concept that Lab Manager is innovative," according to Tom Keating, CTO and TMC Labs' Editorial Director.

Keating continued, "EdenTree deserves this great honor for creating a ground-breaking VoIP interoperability test solution. I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from EdenTree Technologies as they continue to contribute to the future of the VoIP/IP telephony marketplace."

The TMC Labs 2006 Innovation Award highlights will be published in the July 2006 issue of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
