Leading Internet telephony provider, Telappliant has been nominated for The Best Internet Telephony award for their VoIP service VoIPtalk (www.voiptalk.org) at the 11th Annual UK Internet Industry Awards, hosted by ISPA (www.ispa.org.uk), the Internet Service Providers' Association.

The ISPAs - the UK Internet industry awards - are unique as they are awarded to people and organisations in the industry following rigorous testing and an independent judging process and reflect the broad nature of the internet service provider sector.

Telappliant's VoIPtalk service is one of the largest VoIP networks in the UK, and offers an extensive services and product portfolio, which has been developed and tailored to benefit its customers, enabling them to choose a package or solution that suits them.

VoIPtalk is a feature rich consumer VoIP offering, with features such as voicemail-to-email, time of day forwarding, call divert, inbound number routing, and call plans designed specifically with consumers in mind. All products offer exceptional customer service and value for money.

As part of VoIPtalk's broad nature of service, they also sell VoIP hardware products such as IP phones, adaptors and routers that are compatible with their service yet not locked to it, therefore not restricting consumers in their choice of VoIP service provider.

The winners will be announced on 9th July at a glittering awards ceremony hosted at the Grosvenor Marriott Hotel.

ISPA Secretary General, Nicholas Lansman said, "Each year the ISPAs rewards the UK's top Internet companies in each category after thorough testing and judging of each entrant. I would like to congratulate all of the finalists and look forward to welcoming them to the Awards dinner."

Telappliant CEO, Tan Aksoy said: "To be nominated for the Best Internet Telephony award is fantastic and just goes to prove our dedication to providing a VoIP service that offers both value for money and quality of service". He went on to say "this is what we have always strived for and will continue to do so".

London-based IP specialists see 80 per cent annual increase in sales of Aastra products.

Telappliant has been named 'SIP Handset Distributor of the Year' by communications company, Aastra. Telappliant achieved 80 per cent uplift in sales of Aastra SIP handsets in the last twelve months, largely due to the introduction of Aastra's versatile 5i Series of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) handsets and the increasing demand for Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephony.

'Aastra's SIP phones are market leading products, combining a great set of features with a competitive price. Our customers like their sleek design and the embedded XML browser just adds to their attraction,' said Sunny Singh, Head of Channel Sales at Telappliant.

Tan Aksoy, Telappliant CEO, added: 'We strongly believe in open standard solutions and Aastra is one of the very few companies that were early adopters of the SIP standard. Handsets from Aastra's 5i series exemplify this continued commitment to interoperability as they have been designed to integrate with leading VoIP call server platforms. We now see the SIP standard more widely adopted and offering new innovative solutions, including fixed mobile convergence.'

Anne Warren, Sales Manager for Aastra, said: 'We are very pleased to recognise Telappliant as our top UK SIP Handset Distributor 2007. The company's commitment, support and enthusiasm have really made a difference in the past twelve months. The team's high level of expertise wins customers' trust and helps them to find the best products and solutions for their needs. We look forward to working with them for continued growth in 2008.'

As well as distributing Aastra's SIP handsets, Telappliant offers an exciting portfolio of VoIP services, ranging from its powerful VoIPOffice IP PBX solution to the new Insight multi-services portal, designed for resellers and service providers looking to deliver own-brand solutions into their respective customer bases.

Aastra recently expanded its 5i Series of SIP telephones with the launch of the 51i in the UK and across Europe. With the addition of this smartly featured and keenly priced single-line IP phone, end-users will now have access to one of the most complete portfolio offerings of SIP desktop and wireless phones in the industry.

Aastra's portfolio of standards-based VoIP handsets has been designed to tightly integrate with today's most popular IP platforms. In addition to supporting a wide variety of IP PBX and Softswitch solutions based on the latest SIP standards, Aastra's family of IP products has been specifically tested and/or certified compatible with the platforms such as Asterisk™ / Digium, BroadSoft® and Nortel Networks.
