Leading Fax Server Software Packages Use Brooktrout to Connect
to VoIP Networks
TR1034 Platform Enables Integration with VoIP Networks
DALLAS, HIMSS Conference, Booth 6571, Feb. 15, 2005—Brooktrout
Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call
control products, today announced that several leading fax server
software vendors, including Biscom, Captaris, Copia, FaxBack, Faxcore,
Fenestrae and Omtool now support real-time fax over IP on Brooktrout’s
TR1034™ series of intelligent fax boards. This means that
businesses that have migrated their voice and data network to a
Cisco-based IP environment can now run their fax traffic over IP
by implementing Brooktrout’s market leading TR1034 with fax
server software from a broad range of fax server vendors.
The TR1034 intelligent fax board offers both PSTN and VoIP based
fax capability, providing investment protection for businesses who
plan on deploying a fax solution today for their existing PSTN network
and migrating to IP when their needs change, using the same intelligent
fax board and software.
“As companies plan their move to IP-based networks, we strongly
recommend to select technology that will work with their existing
networks today and won’t become obsolete when they make the
switch to IP-based networks down the road,” said Jürgen
Stephan, vice president of Global Marketing from Captaris. “By
choosing a solution from Brooktrout and Captaris, our customers
can take advantage of the reliability, security and field-proven
performance of Brooktrout’s fax platform, whether their network
is PSTN or IP-based, now or in the future.”
“A Fenestrae/Brooktrout IP fax solution provides customers
with investment protection by allowing them to purchase a solution
that will run on the PSTN fax today and migrate to IP when their
IT needs change,” said Jennifer Hewlette, Global Marketing
Manager, Fenestrae. “In addition, Fenestrae’s full server
integration means that organizations can also leverage the value
of their existing IT investment, because users can send and receive
fax messages directly from their current desktops computers –
no additional software is needed.”
“At Omtool, we provide electronic business document exchange
systems and software that accelerates document routing, streamlines
processing and delivery, reduces costs and enables regulatory compliant
exchange and archiving of electronic and hardcopy documents,”
said Thaddeus Bouchard, CTO from Omtool. “ Our support for
Brooktrout’s real-time fax over IP platform provides our customers
with real-time delivery and the same level of reliability and confirmation
that they have come to expect from their PSTN-based fax solution,
which is particularly critical for our customers in the legal industry.”
No matter whether faxes are sent in real-time over the PSTN or
over IP, Brooktrout’s field-proven T.30 implementation remains
at the heart of the every fax connection. To guarantee delivery
every time, even for calls between two IP endpoint devices which
rely on the T.38 protocol, a good T.30 implementation is required.
Brooktrout is recognized as having one of the best T.30 protocol
implementations available on the market today as a result of more
than 10 years experience developing and supporting intelligent fax
boards that are deployed in a wide variety of enterprise and service
provider environments.
In addition, Brooktrout Technology’s co-founder and CTO,
David Duehren, is the primary editor and contributing author of
the T.38 real-time fax over IP protocol specification and Brooktrout’s
T.38 technology has been adopted by Ricoh, a leading provider of
fax machines.
