CounterPath Announces Bria SDK to Power Voice in a Leading Health Care Solution

CounterPath Corporation (NASDAQ:CPAH) (TSX:PATH), a global provider of award-winning, over-the-top (OTT) Unified Communications (UC) solutions for enterprises and carriers, today announced that a leading health care information technology company has selected CounterPath’s SDK for use with their mobile solution targeted to care giver professionals within hospitals, doctors’ offices and other related sites where they need to be reachable.

CounterPath’s SDK was selected for its reliability, call server support and ease of integration. This is a common theme, as CounterPath has seen a growing interest in its SDKs from verticals such as health and finance to other industries that want to incorporate reliable and secure communications in their software applications.

Mobile VoIP is a booming business as covered by Grand View Research, Inc. According to the firm, the market will reach $145.76 billion by 2024 driven by better broadband coverage and device support1. The solution represents an important segment within Mobile VoIP that demands always-on access to voice services across any call server and any network over purpose-built devices which work in hospitals and doctors’ offices across the globe.

“User behavior is shifting from a device-centric approach to a persona-based approach where communications are an integral part of their workflow.  Our customer is a perfect example of where CounterPath’s technology fits within the voice and data paradigm of inserting communications into that user-specific business work flow with an enriching experience,” said Todd Carothers, EVP of Sales & Marketing, CounterPath. “They are able to quickly incorporate the CounterPath SDK into their current application and focus on building additional value around the voice offering.”
