snom technology, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced Voice over IP phones for the enterprise and residential markets, today announced integration of its SIP-based phone portfolio with Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSXV: STC), premium provider of software centric media and signal processing hardware.

After rigorous testing and evaluation, snom’s 3xx series VoIP phones and snom m3 wireless IP DECT phone received full certification by Sangoma’s lab as interoperable and deployable with its AFT series of cards: A101, A102, A104 and A108 PCI and PCI Express cards.

“Achieving full certification as tested and interoperable with Sangoma Technologies, a leader in the open source VoIP community, highlights the strategic advantages of snom’s advanced standards-based SIP phones — ease of configuration, reliability and advanced features,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, executive vice president of marketing and sales. “We are pleased to join Sangoma’s partner program and look forward to working together to help businesses transition to IP telephony.”

The snom m3 IP DECT is the company’s first cordless offering and provides an optimal VoIP communications system for the home office, SMB or enterprise. The new mobile VoIP phone features an elegant design and advanced mobility without compromising audio quality.  Since the company’s inception in 1996, snom has been a leading proponent of open standards and is interoperable with the broadest array of IP telephony platforms.

snom recently announced the debut of the snom 820, a powerful new business VoIP phone for the North American enterprise and small and medium-sized business (SMB) markets.  The new snom 820 SIP-based business phone sets a new standard for design innovation and business-class performance blending a sleek, cutting-edge look with a highly intuitive user interface and a rich set of business communications features.

snom phones offer the most comprehensive VoIP security including support for TLS and SRTP protocols and VPN capabilities.  The SIP telephones can support several audio devices simultaneously, such as the handset & headset, hands-free and power over Ethernet.

“snom is a leading developer of advanced, intelligent VoIP handsets and we believe the combination of Sangoma’s technology tightly integrated with snom’s SIP phones give both small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), and enterprise customers, a powerful yet cost effective springboard to help them migrate their legacy telephony systems to next-generation IP telephony,” said Doug Vilim, Sangoma’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This certification highlights that snom’s handsets are fully tested and ready for deployment with any legacy PBX system that uses Sangoma’s VoIP hardware and software.”
