Brooktrout Technology Teams up with Partners to Dramatically Simplify Fax Servers for Voice-over-IP Networks
Brooktrout's Software-only SR140 Fax Platform Now Available
NEEDHAM, Mass., Jan. 9, 2006 - Brooktrout Technology,
Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call control products,
today announced that it has dramatically simplified fax servers
for voice-over-IP networks by teaming with several of its partners
to deliver the SR140™ real-time Fax over IP (FoIP) software-only
fax solution. In conjunction with network fax applications from
companies including Arcosoft, AVM Informatique, Cascom, FaxBack,
FaxCore, Inc., SoftLinx, MESSAGEmanager Solutions, and RTE, Brooktrout’s
IP-based SR140 provides the same level of simplicity and confirmation
as a traditional PSTN-based fax solution, but with the added benefits
of transmitting fax over VoIP networks.
"Companies that have made the move to VoIP want to fully
benefit from the cost savings of a single converged communications
network and are dissatisfied with band-aid approaches such as G.711
pass through or analog adapters," said René van Stekelenburg,
Managing Director of Cascom (http://www.cascom.nl/).
"SR140 enables us to offer an elegant solution to the problem
of integrating fax servers into the VoIP mix."
"As enterprises migrate to VoIP, reliability is the name
of the game. We support Brooktrout IP in our NET SatisFAXtion
fax server to take advantage of Brooktrout technology and reliability.
For years Brooktrout's fax solutions have proven to be winners for
our customers. Brooktrout IP continues this track record,"
said Art King, President of FaxBack (http://www.faxback.com/).
"The SR140 preserves the same high quality fax experience
enterprises have come to expect, giving them real-time transmission
and confirmation they get from their Brooktrout fax boards, along
with the simplicity and cost savings of consolidating their fax
traffic on their VoIP network," said Max Schroeder, Sr. Vice
President of FaxCore, Inc. (http://www.faxcore.com/)
"With Brooktrout IP Fax software, IP fax is now ready for
prime time," said Ivor Livingston, MESSAGEmanager Solutions
CEO (http://www.mmanager.com/).
"With no boards to configure, users get a Fax Server with a
robust and forgiving T.30 protocol engine without the complexity
and maintenance costs associated with traditional hardware based
fax servers."
Brooktrout's SR140 Series is the latest generation of intelligent
fax technology from Brooktrout that takes advantage of the advances
in computational processing power. Host-based processing allows
media processing and call control functions - traditionally performed
by specialized digital signal processors (DSP) on boards - to be
performed on general purpose host CPU's that run on industry standard
servers. The SR140 offers small, medium and enterprise businesses
the same level of high performance fax that they have come to expect
from Brooktrout's industry leading intelligent fax hardware, available
in a software-only platform.
The SR140 has the same renowned functionality that has made Brooktrout
the leading provider of intelligent fax boards, including Brooktrout's
industry leading T.30 protocol, Error Correction Mode and MMR fax
compression. The SR140 is available in a variety of densities from
two to 60 channels. To add channels as their needs grow, customers
simply purchase and install a new software license key to instantly
upgrade their solution.
The SR140 supports SIP and H.323 call control and T.38 media processing
protocols today that have been tested and certified with Cisco Media
Gateways and Excel’s IMG 1010 media gateway. For more information
