"AudioCodes continued to deliver solid sequential and year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2011 driven by the rising global demand for converged VoIP and data networks solutions," stated Shabtai Adlersberg, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of AudioCodes. "During the quarter we successfully expanded our partnership activities with leading enterprise and unified communications market leaders such as Microsoft, Alcatel-Lucent and a leading mobile phone market player. We extended our presence in the Enterprise Mobility VoIP market with the debut of our MobilityPLUS productivity suite which extends the Microsoft LYNC 2010 enterprise collaboration solution to enable anywhere, anytime productivity and collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent in the enterprise mid-size Session Border Controllers (E-SBCs) market."
"A favorable sales mix of higher margin offerings generated strong gross margins while higher operating expense was primarily attributable to the continued investment in our global sales and marketing functions. AudioCodes stands at the center of the unified communications connectivity and mobility market and we believe we can increasingly become the preferred voice expert partner in the industry. We believe that these first quarter 2011 developments, coupled with our product portfolio strengths and growing global sales reach, set a strong foundation for continued growth and profitability in 2011," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.
