SPIRIT announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s Communications Solutions magazine online (www.tmcnet.com/comsol) has named - IP-MR™ (dedicated IP codec) as a recipient of a 2004 Product of the Year Award.

As standard ITU codecs like G.729 and G.723 become obsolete speaking about IP communication, SPIRIT has developed a dedicated next generation VoIP codec - SPIRIT IP-Multi Rate.

The codec works in both Narrow Band and Wide Band mode and is highly adaptive to network conditions thanks to automatic rate selection. Moreover the codec is transcoding-free in multiparty conferences that saves server resources and ensures high quality.

IP-MR™ is embedded into TeamSpirit® - Multi-Point Voice Engine for enterprise collaboration systems and ensures state-of-the-art speech quality and robustness to packet loss as well as variable bitrate. All this makes TeamSpirit® the ideal solution for enterprise collaboration systems." - says Andrew Sviridenko, SPIRIT's chairman.
