AudioCodes and BroadSoft have thrown their lots in together, deciding to conduct joint product development, marketing, sales and support of their voice-over-IP (VoIP) products.

The pair will integrate AudioCodes’ media gateways with BroadSoft’s VoIP application software to create access solutions for hosted VoIP applications. AudioCodes provides the ability to connect the BroadSoft application to existing enterprise PBX and/or analog phones and faxes.

By integrating the two product lines, the two hope to make it easier for carriers and other service providers to use their products in their VoIP deployments.

BroadSoft said it provides VoIP applications to 6 of the top 10 and 12 of the top 25 largest carriers worldwide, including Korea Telecom, Singtel, Sprint, Telefonica de Espana, Telstra, T-Systems, and Verizon.
