Pingtel Releases SIPxchange 3.8 Enterprise Communications Server

Burlington, Mass., October 30, 2007 Pingtel, a Bluesocket company and the leading provider of SIP-based Enterprise Communications Systems (ECS), today announced the release of version 3.8 of the company’s SIPxchange ECS open source VoIP solution. This new version extends Pingtel’s award winning plug-and-play management system that allows customers to seamlessly manage SIP components, such as phones and gateways from a variety of vendors. With its new capabilities, SIPxchange becomes the most flexible and user-friendly VoIP system available in the market.

SIPxchange 3.8 enhances administrator and end-user management interfaces to deliver industry leading ease-of-use and simplified deployment. A new end-user portal adds interactive voicemail management, real-time call reporting phone directory and speed dial configuration, as well as find-me/follow-me forwarding capabilities, all delivered to the user’s finger tips. Also, SIPxchange 3.8 adds plug-and-play management for AudioCodes media gateways and LG-Nortel SIP phones. Customers can now seamlessly provision and manage these devices from the SIPxchange browser-based management console that already supports Polycom, Snom, Grandstream and other phones.

“The new plug-and-play management for AudioCodes media gateways makes it extremely easy to install, configure, and manage our products for use with SIPxchange. For the first time, customers have the ability to choose AudioCodes’ best-in-class products with seamless, system-level, configuration and management. This saves time, money, and headaches for integrators and end-users alike,” said Lior Moyal, vice president of CPE Marketing at AudioCodes.

With the release of version 3.8, SIPxchange becomes the leading open source-based enterprise VoIP communications solution. Featuring enterprise class features and functionality, as well as easy-to-use deployment and administration tools, SIPxchange offers the value of open source-based systems with the features and manageability that enterprise customers demand.

“The release of SIPxchange 3.8continues to prove that open source solutions can maintain the low total cost structure for which they are known while providing enterprise-grade stability and support,” said Martin Steinmann, vice president of product management at Bluesocket. “With this product release, we continue to extend our market-leading ease-of-use while increasing our feature offerings and maintaining one of the lowest total costs of ownership in the industry.”
