"We are very pleased to report strong growth of our networking business for the second quarter of 2014. This business comprised 88% of our revenues in the quarter.

"We experienced record sales of our Session Border Controller line which grew more than 100% over the year-ago quarter and more than 30% over the previous quarter. Sales of the New Products group category comprising of SBC, Multi-service routers and IP Phones increased more than 30% compared to the previous quarter. In addition to these successes, we continued to grow in the Microsoft Lync segment in-line with our stated plan for 2014 to grow this segment by more than 40% over 2013."
"To advance growth initiatives, we continue to introduce new products and solutions. The launch of AudioCodes One Box 365, a new One Voice for Lync solution that provides our partners an intuitive and quick way to bring enterprise voice alongside Office 365 in both pure cloud and hybrid on-premise solutions, expands our market opportunity in the Microsoft Lync ecosystem."
"During the quarter, we launched and opened our new Cloud Delivery Network Architecture (CDNA) Research and Development Center that is supported by the Israeli Office of the Chief Scientist. This new R&D center is expected to provide a highly efficient platform to develop new cutting edge cloud-based real-time communications technologies and services, and to support further growth in revenues beginning in 2015. These activities are expected to further strengthen our foundation for AudioCodes' growth in the years ahead," concluded Mr. Adlersberg.
