Sangoma Technologies Corporation , a leading provider
of hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications
Systems for both voice and data, today announced the general availability
of NetBorder Express Gateway 4.0, a major upgrade of its award-winning
TDM-to-SIP Gateway software. NetBorder Express 4.0 includes significant
new functionality which extends the market reach of Sangoma channel
partners in Europe, Latin America, Japan, Asia, and North America.
Enhancements that provide Sangoma partners with a greater coverage area
for worldwide deployments include support for:
Basic Rate Interface (BRI), an ISDN configuration widely
used by SME's in European countries, particularly in Germany (when paired
with the Sangoma A500 or B700 boards)
MFC/R2 Signaling, used extensively by enterprises in Latin America,
especially Mexico, Brazil and Columbia (when paired with any of Sangoma's
lifetime warranty A-Series of digital boards, A101/A102/A104/A108)
INS 1500, a Primary Rate Interface (PRI) ISDN variant used in Japan
(also supported by Sangoma's A-Series of digital boards)
T.38 Fax Over IP Support, enables reliable transport of fax traffic
over a VoIP network
"NetBorder Express is an easily integrated TDM to SIP gateway component
that can run concurrently with other software applications, inside a
single server," said Frederic Dickey, director of product management
at Sangoma. "Alternate solutions require external gateways in a separate
appliance. With the added functionality in NetBorder Express Gateway
4.0, we not only extend the global market reach of our channel partners,
we enable simplified deployments and servicing of enterprise communications
systems, reducing downtime, diagnostic headaches, and expensive visits
to the field for our channel partners and our end users."
NetBorder Express Gateway 4.0 software, together with Sangoma's award-winning
telephony boards, delivers a powerful SIP-to-TDM VoIP gateway that application
developers, system integrators and value-added resellers can leverage
to deliver communications platforms for SIP-based applications, such
as IP PBX, IVRs, conferencing servers, and carrier solutions in the
most cost-effective way.
Additional new features of NetBorder Express Gateway 4.0 include:
T.38 Fax Relay – sends faxes over IP and integrates with T.38 fax servers
B600 Board Support – offers a cost effective analog interface
FXO Tune Utility – improves voice quality by automatically matching
impedance with telecommunication lines, eliminating annoying echoes
on the line HTTP Digest Authentication – for improved security
SIP Torture Test Suite – provides robust defense against Denial of Service
attacks and other SIP security threats
"With added features, such as T.38 fax relay and extended board support,
the latest version of the NetBorder Express Gateway allows us to extend
our market coverage even further," said Kerry Garrison, vice president
of strategy at 888voipstore. "The ability to run Sangoma telephony hardware
and NetBorder Express Gateway concurrently with popular IP PBX applications
enables our customers to deliver compact and integrated solutions."
Sangoma will be demonstrating the latest release of its NetBorder Express
Gateway at ITEXPO East 2011, in Miami, Florida, February 2-4, 2011 in
booth #401.
