CounterPath Introduces Bria for Asterisk

"CounterPath and Digium recently launched Bria for Asterisk, a co-branded VoIP softphone solution that's pre-integrated with the open source Asterisk platform.

"Todd Carothers, vice president of product management at CounterPath, says the idea was to start by simply bringing the Bria Professional enterprise-grade softphone to Asterisk in as straightforward a manner as possible. "We've done interoperability testing against the Asterisk platform, particularly from a Digium perspective—and we have IM, video and presence available for the solution," he says.

"For CounterPath, Carothers says, this is an excellent opportunity to work with the large and diverse Asterisk community. "They're still very uniquely positioned in the market, where they bring that diversity… so we can bridge our feature-rich product that we have today to other areas of the market that we don't reach with vertically integrated types of solutions," he says."
