Software innovator in business applications and IP telephony CloudTC has announced the interoperability of its IP phone, CloudTC Glass 1000, with BroadSoft’s BroadWorks voice application server.

The Android (News - Alert)-based CloudTC Glass 1000 IP phone has also achieved interoperability with prominent infrastructure vendors. As a result of the Glass platform running on the Android OS, application providers are afforded an open development environment, flexibility and scalability. In addition, the phone also extends the ability to integrate the applications with unique calling features and a large user screen.

David Bukovsky, vice president of products at BroadSoft (News - Alert), believes that there is growing demand for Android-based OS phones.

Bukovsky said that the demonstrated interoperability of the CloudTC Glass 1000 IP phone with BroadWorks presents service providers with a wider choice of access devices for deploying services based on BroadSoft’s BroadWorks platform.
