CounterPath Corp., a provider of desktop and mobile VoIP software solutions, has announced the availability of X-Lite 4.0, an entry-level voice and video softphone for Mac and Windows PCs.

Multimedia softphone

A multimedia softphone, X-Lite provides enterprises, government agencies and other professional users an opportunity test how a softphone can be a fast, cost-effective way to begin deploying voice over Internet protocol “VoIP” across their existing laptops and desktops to reduce their communications costs and improve productivity.

X-Lite 4.0 features call history, call display and message waiting indicator; call-management tools such as redial, hold, mute and speakerphone; managed contacts lists; IM and presence using the SIMPLE protocol.

The most robust

“As one of the most robust and feature-rich free softphones available today, X-Lite 4.0 is an ideal way for enterprises, government agencies and other professional users to start exploring the bottom-line benefits of video, VoIP and presence-based communications,” said Robert Brown, vice president of marketing at CounterPath (News - Alert), adding that it gives customers a preview of how a cost-effective, easy-to-deploy and low-support softphone application can meet all of those needs immediately.

“X-Lite 4.0 is designed to be a steppingstone to Bria 3, CounterPath’s flagship softphone product. Bria 3 provides a variety of additional, enterprise-grade features such as enhanced security, SMS support, multi-party conferencing and customizability,” Brown said.
