PingTone Communications Adds Interstar's Carrier-Class IP Fax Server Technology; Interstar's XMediusFAX Service Provider edition FoIP software for VoIP networks enables PingTone to enhance IP fax services
MONTREAL October 19th, 2005—
For PingTone Communications, one of the largest business VoIP service providers in the U.S., choosing a new outbound IP fax platform was made easier with the help of Interstar Technologies' XMediusFAX SP multi-tenant T.38 Fax Over IP (FoIP) solution. Interstar (www.faxserver.com), a leading developer of IP telephony technologies, provides the new technology behind PingTone's enhanced capacity for extending carrier-class IP fax service to its business customers.
PingTone, which offers advanced VoIP telephone services to business customers, had identified outbound IP fax services as an area of high customer demand and additional growth. Unsatisfied with the performance of previous IP fax technologies, PingTone searched for a state-of-the-art IP fax product that is both reliable and scalable. PingTone selected Interstar's XMediusFAX SP multi-tenant T.38 FoIP solution due to its high scalability and carrier-class fault tolerance, designed specifically for service providers. Attractive features included:
-
flexibility in supporting up to 240 channels per server
-
seamless integration with Cisco VoIP backbones without requiring fax boards
-
built-in clustering, fault detection, failover support and automatic data replication, which consistently ensure high availability
"We are very pleased with our choice of Interstar. XMediusFAX SP adds important new outbound capabilities for PingTone customers," stated Richard Schulte, Executive Vice President of PingTone. "Although we have been offering inbound and outbound IP fax service for many years, we've never been completely satisfied with the technology until now. Also important to us was vendor support during network installation and Interstar's engineering team was excellent."
"Interstar's boardless XMediusFAX SP fax server solution is scalable to 240 channels per server, providing a significant advantage over other fax server solutions on the market, which are physically limited to 96 channels per server due to their reliance on fax boards," said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies Inc.
