CounterPath helps power Rogers' One Number Service

Last week Techvibes reported that Rogers Communications was launching Rogers One Number - a service that allows Canadians to extend their Rogers wireless number to their computer. Rogers One Number lets you text and talk from your computer and video chat with other Rogers One Number users on your computer, all using your wireless number.

Today, CounterPath Corporation announced that they're the technology behind One Number and have entered into a commercial agreement with Rogers Communications.

CounterPath enables this flexibility and ease of use by using industry standards such as SIP and H.264 to ensure interoperability, reliability, security and quality across a variety of wired and wireless networks  and operating systems. CounterPath’s portfolio of carrier- and enterprise-grade solutions enables customers to develop innovative, revenue-generating services.

“Service providers worldwide know that their customers want a convenient, cost-effective way to stay in touch across multiple devices and networks, leveraging a single phone number,” said Donovan Jones, President and CEO, CounterPath. “As Canada’s largest wireless provider, Rogers continues to demonstrate innovation by delivering the kind of single-number voice, video and messaging reachability that consumers want.”
