AudioCodes, a leading vendor of advanced voice networking and media processing solutions for the digital workplace, today announced that its session border controller (SBC) and IP phone products have been selected by Colt Technology Services, a leading business voice and high bandwidth connectivity provider, for deployment in its Intelligent Communications service based on Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business.
