snom to Demo SIP Business Telephones at Fall VON

Full Line of SIP Phones Feature Standards-Based Security, Improved Firmware, Certified Compatible with SIP Telecom Infrastructure and Carrier Services, Worldwide

snom technology AG (www.snom.com) will demonstrate its full line of SIP-standard business telephones at Fall 2005 VON (Boston Convention Center - September 19-22, Booth #351). snom's SIP-based family of IP telephones ranges from the entry-level snom 320, with its two-line display, to the radically-extensible, large-display snom 360. All are engineered and priced appropriately to serve small, medium and large enterprises in a broad range of business contexts - providing easy access to the rich feature-sets of SIP-based IP PBX, IP Centrex, hosted IP PBX, IP contact center and other premise-based and carrier VoIP solutions.

snom's IP phones offer excellent audio quality, compelling design and ergonomics, and a host of essential telephony productivity features: accessible via dedicated function keys, built-in and modular extensible programmable key banks, and through intuitive menu- and web-based user interfaces. For network managers and VoIP service providers, they offer sophisticated, SIP-standard-based features for remote endpoint configuration, upgrade and customization, configurable security, firewall and NAT traversal.

IP phones in snom's lineup conform with most recent IETF recommendations for standards-based security in SIP VoIP environments (SIPs/sRTP). They can be configured to perform both endpoint authentication and content/signaling encryption, making them highly resistent to spoofing and eavesdropping; and are thus appropriate for use in banking/finance, medical, military and other sensitive applications.

snom's recently-announced partnership with BroadSoft underlines snom's commitment to open standards-based, multi-vendor IP telephony, and is an important first step towards becoming a fully-global provider to this market. snom telephones are fully certified to plug and play with IP Centrex, hosted IP PBX and other carrier VoIP services from over 110 carriers worldwide, hosted on versions of BroadSoft's fast-evolving BroadWorks® carrier VoIP infrastructure.

"snom's is committed to open standards-based VoIP," says Dr. Christian Stredicke, CEO. "Our telephones are designed for full compatibility with the evolving family of SIP standards, and vendor-specific adaptations of same. They deliver real value to end users, integrators, service providers and other stakeholders, without the penalties of single-vendor lock-in. We're looking forward to meeting with customers, VARs and potential partners at Fall 2005 VON in Boston, and showing how our award-winning IP telephones meet the most demanding standards of the global marketplace."
