CounterPath Solutions a leading provider of VoIP (Voice over IP) and
Video over IP SIP softphones, today announced the release of its latest
softphone client application, Bria 2.0.
Bria 2.0 introduces a number of new usability and customization
features to the CounterPath Multimedia Communicator product suite and
enables service providers and equipment manufacturers to present a
highly flexible, user-friendly VoIP solution for consumer markets.
"Built on the same reliable SIP-based platform as our eyeBeam
softphone, Bria 2.0 further enhances the end user experience by
enabling communication over voice, video and IM intuitively based on
personal preference," said Donovan Jones, President and COO of
CounterPath.
"The user interface we've created for Bria 2.0 offers not only a fresh
look and feel for the client, but offers a number of different
voice/video calling and IM management options including drag-and-drop
for contacts, auto-complete dialing and an extendable call management
module, making it more convenient and efficient for both novice and
power users."
Bria 2.0 combines voice and video calling, IM (Instant Messaging) and
presence management in a visually appealing and versatile desktop
communications application.
The distinguishing features of Bria 2.0 include:
- Contact-centric vs. dialpad-centric: Bria's dynamic GUI (Graphical
User Interface) focuses around the address book rather than the more
traditional dial pad, enabling users to manage their communications
more conveniently and according to their personal preferences.
- Deskbar capability: Bria can be minimized to a deskbar, enabling
the user to enjoy a manageable desktop space while still being able to
make and receive calls.
For service providers:
- Increased branding flexibility: Bria's new skinning engine gives
customers increased options to create customized applications to
support their brand and meet the needs of their clients.
- Wider advertising reach: Bria's multiple panel layout incorporates
customer specified areas for branded or revenue generating
advertisements such as banner ads, click-to-call and interactive video
messaging, as well as custom integration with network infrastructure.
Bria 2.0 is available for Windows XP and Windows 2000; versions for
Windows Vista and Mac OS 10.4 and higher are scheduled for release at a
future date.
