snom Announces Compatibility of Phones with World's Smallest IP PBX, 4S newcom's Blue4S

snom technology, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced its interoperability between snom phones and the upcoming world's smallest IP PBX, blue4S by 4Snewcom. Together, 4Snewcom and snom will offer customers a complete communications solution.

"snom's interoperability provides us with the opportunity to partner with companies like 4Snewcom and reach an expanded customer base," says Michael Knieling, CFO and Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom. "Mac users have a keen sense of technology, aesthetics, and security. Together snom and 4Snewcom are able to reach the Mac users and provide them with an overall VoIP solution."

4Snewcom's Blue4S, the world's smallest IP PBX which is delivered on an Apple iPod Shuffle®, will be available for sale at the upcoming VON Europe show (November 6th-8th in Berlin). Previously called the iBlue, the blue4S is based on the 4S IP PBX, a software-based IP PBX. The blue4S runs on a Mac mini and uses the IETF open standard SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for VoIP communications.

snom telephones support all common standards, as well as the latest technology platforms. All snom phones are compatible with SIP-based telephone systems and system components including open source platforms such as Asterisk, SER,  sipXpbx and proprietary solutions offered by companies such as Epygi, Pandora (Worksmart), Kapsch (Mississippi), Objectworld (UC Server) and many more. snom’s technical team works closely with the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), ensuring that all snom phones are equipped with the highest security standards in VoIP.
