AUDC

Audiocodes Ltd.

A maker of voice-communication technology that lets businesses and phone carriers run calls over the internet, powering services for platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom through IP phones, meeting-room devices, and network gear. Founded in 1993 in Israel by two engineers from DSP Group, the company made its name in voice-compression coding before growing into a global software and cloud player. Its name is a literal mashup: "audio" for voice and "codes" for the codecs—the algorithms that squeeze speech into digital data.
