Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine recognizes companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements.

“As our flagship product for mission-critical faxing, XMediusFAX SP guarantees that service providers and large enterprises achieve optimal fax workflow, productivity and ROI benefits,” said Sagem-Interstar’s Greg Trexler, Director of Marketing. “This award exemplifies our technology leadership in the global IP fax server market. Our entire XMediusFAX product suite – Express, Enterprise, and SP – provides customers of any size or industry with field-proven, software-only fax solutions. Our award-winning FoIP products have consistently met and exceeded our customers’ faxing needs, while achieving significant cost savings.”

Award-winning XMediusFAX SP Features

XMediusFAX SP is the VoIP world’s first FoIP fax server with distinctive features such as:

• Carrier-class, boardless FoIP: eliminates expensive fax boards (designed for service providers or large enterprises with heavy fax volumes). Service providers can increase cash flow by purchasing their own FoIP software, instead of rebranding third-party fax services.

• T.38 multi-tenancy: partitions networks into hundreds of virtual fax servers, eliminating the need for multiple fax servers.

Unique 2006 enhancements in Release 5.0 include:

• Support for up to 480 fax channels per server: the highest for any FoIP server on the market.

• Built-in server redundancy and partition recovery: overcomes a common problem with replicated systems.

• Virtual machine support using VMWare: XMediusFAX can support this because it is boardless.

• MGCP gateway support via Cisco Call Manager 4.2(3): an industry-first.

• System monitoring and alerts through SNMP: utilizing the same tools managing other critical systems.

• Floating channel licensing: a pool of T.38 channels can be distributed among multiple T.38 drivers.

• Web-based fax composition: faxing using any browser.

• Support for international character sets: faxing for any language.

• Increased database capacity with MySQL 5.0: up to 4-million records per queue.

• Custom template for Lotus Notes 6.x and 7.x: desktop faxing without any thin client installation.

In addition, XMediusFAX SP supports/enables:

• More VoIP gateways – Cisco, Avaya, AudioCodes, 3Com, Alcatel, Vegastream, Quintum – than any other fax server vendor.

• Desktop faxing for Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes or any SMTP-compliant email client.

• Legacy fax board platforms (i.e., Brooktrout TR1034, Eicon Diva Server analog and digital boards).

• Java API/Web provisioning

• OCR SPAM filtering
