VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb. 8, 2017) - 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 the certified interoperability of Jabra USB and Bluetooth headset devices with CounterPath's latest offering, Bria X. This is the second in a series of interoperability testing phases with Bria X and various headset vendors to provide an optimized user experience - from software to headset - across any device, any network and any platform.
"This is another win for CounterPath and Bria X on the interoperability certification and user experience front," said Todd Carothers, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, CounterPath.
Users of Jabra headsets will be prompted to install Jabra Direct software on their desktop, if they haven't already, from the Notification Tab within Bria X. Once installed, users will have access to a multitude of functions such as synchronization between Bria X and their headset for answer / hang up call, mute, and hold call. In addition, users are able to switch audio between devices, for example from their Jabra headset to the built-in speaker on their device, and also set functionality for the ringing of incoming calls on the headset or speaker as well.
"Demand for headsets, especially wireless ones, in the workplace is increasing due to the valuable functions they provide. They offer employees the freedom and mobility that modern work environments and business situations require," continued Carothers. "With Bria X providing users with a plethora of UC tools, having tight headset integration and mobile capabilities is important to ensure the solution is a natural extension to users. The Jabra certification is yet another example of our commitment to providing the best user experience across any device, network and platform."
