Partner-friendly licensing and smart technology

Cloud Telecomputers developed Glass to enable its partners to deliver a unique business user experience. Glass's open API and Android development environment enable SIP phone and IP PBX manufacturers, service providers, and third parties to add applications and create their own unique presence in the market.

Our concept of centralized R&D, spread across multiple partners worldwide, allows us to deliver much more capability for less cost to our partners," said Ravin Suri, Cloud Telecomputers CTO.

The Glass platform also integrates proven and popular technologies such as Bluetooth, HD audio, and AudioCodes SIP technology, to ensure that Glass delivers the high degree of quality and usability expected by businesses.
