GENBAND’s SPiDR™ WebRTC Gateway was recently cited for its superior performance as a recipient of the 2013 Diamond Broadband Technology Review Awards, which recognizes the top products and solutions available to the cable industry as determined by a distinguished panel of independent Multi-System Operator (MSO) and consulting engineering experts.

“As the market-share leader in the cable VoIP market, we are extremely proud to receive this award for our WebRTC technology, which offers numerous benefits to our cable customers,” said Brad Bush, Chief Marketing Officer at GENBAND.  “The cable operator-controlled last mile is the premium broadband conduit into millions of homes and businesses. Developing and acquiring market-leading technology to assist MSOs to deliver compelling IP multimedia services is an integral component of GENBAND’s Making Networks Smarter value proposition.”

The pay-as-you grow managed service enables MSOs and other operators to accelerate the commercial delivery of multimedia communications applications, and enhance existing services, with minimal upfront capital expenses.
