According to Editorial Director Greg Galitzine, "The Product of the Year awards exemplify the best that this industry has to offer. The companies earning this distinction have demonstrated a commitment to quality, and a commitment to the further development of the IP telephony industry through their contributions. Atreus deserves this great honor, and I look forward to seeing other innovative solutions from them as they continue to contribute to the future of VoIP and IP telephony.”
