From INTERNET TELEPHONY Magazine

Norwalk, CT (March 19, 2010) -Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC (News - Alert)), a global media company, has announced a call for entries for the 2010 TMC Labs Innovation Award presented by INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine. The Eleventh Annual INTERNET TELEPHONY TMC Labs Innovation Award honors IP Communications products and services that are truly innovative.

The TMC Labs Innovation Award will honor ground-breaking products in the IP Communications world.  While innovation is frequently a question of firsts, often it is taking an existing idea and improving upon it. Challenging established standards and introducing different approaches to achieve distinctive results signify innovation within this industry.

"The staff at TMC Labs is truly excited to judge in this year's TMC Labs Innovation Award selection candidates," said Tom Keating (News - Alert), Chief Technology Officer and Executive Technology Editor for TMC Labs. "IP communications is growing by leaps and bounds. New companies, new products, and new services are being created all the time. With the market growing so quickly, there's never been a greater need for this award."

'TMC Labs is searching for the companies whose products have broken the mold when it comes to launching a new product or putting a new spin to an existing application," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.  "The TMC Labs engineers have extensive knowledge of the IP communications market and are anxious to begin their search for this year's trendsetters. Only a handful of companies that show their out-of-box thinking to transform the industry will be honored.'

Company revenue or number of products sold is not a factor in determining winners.  The TMC Labs Innovation Award is based on the concept that the product or service demonstrates raw innovation, uniqueness and represents a significant contribution to the industry.

TMC Labs is the industry's only in-house testing lab providing objective test for the communications and technology market. 

TMC Labs profiles each of the winning vendors with individual in-depth reviews in INTERNET TELEPHONY'sJuly and August 2010 issues.
