Cantata Technology Ships One Millionth Fax Port
Approximately 500 Billion Fax Pages Transmitted Via Brooktrout
Intelligent Fax Products
NEEDHAM, Mass. March 14, 2007—Cantata Technology™,
one of the world’s leading independent providers of enabling
communications technology, today announced that the company shipped
its one millionth fax port, with an estimated 500 billion fax pages
transmitted worldwide via its Brooktrout®-brand fax products
over the last 15 years. With more than 70% market share worldwide,
more companies trust Cantata’s Brooktrout intelligent fax
server technology to ensure critical fax documents reach their final
destination than any other vendor.
“Despite the rise of email and the Internet, the market
for fax server revenues continues to grow at a steady rate of 8.2%.
Fax remains an integral component of a wide range of document exchange
processes in areas such as finance, legal, human resources and procurement,”
said Peter Davidson, president of Davidson Consulting, the leading
authority on the fax industry. “Cantata Technology pioneered
this market, and continues to lead the industry, not only in market
share, but also with the latest technology advancements such as
T.38 real-time IP Fax and host-based fax solutions.”
Cantata has the broadest range of intelligent fax technology on
the market today ranging from small scale solutions with the Brooktrout®
TruFax® product line to enterprise and carrier grade systems
with the Brooktrout TR1034™ and SR140™ products. Combined,
Brooktrout-brand fax products are approved for use in over 40 countries.
IP Fax Leadership
While the Brooktrout brand is well known as the leader in intelligent
fax, it is less well known that Cantata’s experience with
IP fax precedes the Internet and IP becoming household technologies,
with early development work to enable faxing over X.25 networks.
Much of what Cantata learned through developing fax for X.25 networks
went into the design of T.38, the protocol for real-time IP fax.
Cantata was a primary contributor to the T.38 ITU-T specification,
which has become the industry standard for real-time fax over IP
networks.
While Cantata is the market leader in the development of fax technology,
its strength and field experience in T.30 fax is what differentiates
its SR140 and TR1034 IP fax products. The T.30 protocol for faxing
over telephone networks remains at the heart of all fax connections,
including connections between two T.38 IP fax devices. Cantata's
T.38 IP fax products use the same T.30 code that has propelled the
Brooktrout fax technology to lead the market. Cantata develops its
core fax technology in-house, which enables the company to deliver
superior product quality and unsurpassed support to the end customer,
as opposed to vendors that license T.30 and T.38 protocol stacks
from third parties, which limits their ability to deliver support.

- Could circle the earth 3,058 times
- Would reach from the Earth to the Sun
