Cantata Technology Extends Leadership Position in Fax over IP
with Latest Upgrades to its Brooktrout Intelligent Fax Platforms
Supports Leading VoIP Gateways from Alcatel, Cantata and Cisco
to EnsureT.38 Interoperability for Fax over IP Installations
NEEDHAM, Mass. – June 28, 2006 -- Cantata
Technology™, the world’s leading independent provider
of enabling communications technology, has extended its leadership
in the Fax over IP (FoIP) market by working closely with Alcatel
and Cisco® to ensure interoperability between the Alcatel Enterprise
OmniPCX 6.0 Communications System and the Cisco 2800 and 3800 Series
Integrated Service Routers and its Brooktrout® TR1034™
and SR140™ intelligent fax platforms. With an expanded list
of interoperable IP media gateways from Cantata, Cisco and Alcatel,
ISVs, resellers and end users can confidently deploy fax server
solutions based on Cantata’s Brooktrout line of intelligent
FoIP platforms into existing VoIP installations without the need
to integrate a 3rd party router into their VoIP network.
Cantata Technology was established in 2006 through the combination
of Excel Switching Corporation and Brooktrout Technology®.
“As the proven market share leader in intelligent fax technology
for more than a decade, Cantata continues to drive the future of
Fax over IP by working closely with the leaders in VoIP to ensure
a seamless migration path for fax to IP networks,” said Greg
Gies, market development manager for intelligent fax platforms,
Cantata Technology.
Proven interoperability between T.38 FoIP end points and gateways
is a important factor to the success of FoIP implementations. Cantata
Technology is committed to T.38 interoperability, and is working
closely with market leading VoIP equipment makers worldwide.
Both the Brooktrout SR140 and TR1034 fax platforms support real-time
FoIP, providing companies with the ability to integrate fax servers
and fax-based document management solutions with their VoIP network,
achieving the same high levels of performance, reliability and scalability
that enterprises have come to expect over the past 20 years from
Cantata while capturing the benefits of IP-based communications.
In addition to the newly supported VoIP gateways, both platforms
have been previously certified and tested with the Cantata IMG 1010™,
and the Cisco 2600, 3600 and AS 5400 Series gateways.
Support from Leading Fax Software Vendors
“Throughout our 15 year relationship with Cantata Technology,
Captaris and its customers have looked to Cantata as the leader
in intelligent fax technology and now we look forward to developing
the fax over IP market with them,” said Eric Bean, senior
director of products for Captaris, Inc. (www.captaris.com).
“Fax technology has been making a rapid transition from analog
to IP as more and more companies deploy VoIP networks,” said
Max Schroeder, senior vice president at Faxcore (www.faxcore.com).
“We’re excited to work with Cantata because their extensive
VoIP gateway support opens up additional business opportunities
for us as enterprises move to a truly converged IP environment.”
In addition to expanded VoIP gateway support, Cantata is also releasing
its Brooktrout TR1034 analog DID/Combo intelligent fax platforms,
which allow for efficient and reliable electronic routing of faxes
to desktop PCs. The Brooktrout TR1034 DID/Combo board now also includes
support for the V.34 high speed fax transmission protocol which
can significantly lower fax transmission costs by sending faxes
at more than twice the speed of the previous generation of fax technology.
RoHS and WEEE Compliance
Cantata’s Brooktrout intelligent fax platforms fully comply
with the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
directive, without requiring any telecom exemptions for the presence
of lead. Cantata has also implemented Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) labeling on all European Union products to reduce
customer expenses in meeting the WEEE directive.
