snom uses SmartShare Systems to Demonstrate Improved IP Telephony Quality at CeBIT

snom Technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced Voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, and SmartShare Systems, an innovative supplier of WAN optimization appliances, announce today that they have entered into a partnership which will further improve the Quality of Experience (QoE) for users of VoIP-based telephony.

snom will base its entire CeBIT booth (Hall 13, C42) network infrastructure on the SmartShare StraightShaper. By using the SmartShare StraightShaper, snom can ensure high-quality VoIP user experience, even on potentially congested internet connections.

Telephony is mission-critical for most companies but even though significant cost savings can often be obtained moving from traditional land lines to IP-based telephony, the historical quality issues still prevent many from making the transition. The combined snom and SmartShare Systems solution eliminates these concerns by providing the cost benefits of VoIP with the quality of land lines.

“snom is a leading developer of advanced, intelligent and high quality VoIP handsets and we believe the combination of SmartShare Systems solutions with snom’s SIP phones give both small and medium sized businesses, and enterprise customers, an excellent means to ensure problem-free deployment of corporate-wide next-generation IP telephony,” said Jesper Knudsen, SmartShare Systems’ Vice President of Marketing.

“We are delighted to see the positive effects of having a SmartShare Systems solution as part of our CeBIT network, and are convinced that its ease of use, reliability and advanced features will be in high demand for many companies,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom. “We are pleased to partner with SmartShare Systems and look forward to working together to help businesses seamlessly transition to IP telephony.”
