Sangoma Technologies Rocks ElastixWorld with Launch of New Products

Looks like Sangoma Technologies Corp., is rocking Elastix (News - Alert) World 2011, as the leading manufacturer of hardware components for voice and data IP communications systems has unveiled several ground-breaking features and products.

A sponsor of Elastix World, a premier IP telephony event held for the Elastix global community underway through Nov. 4, Sangoma revealed that its TDM interface boards can now automatically be detected and configured through Elastix’s hardware detector interface tool, which will allow the configuration of different parameters including echo cancellation, PRI cards timing source mode, line build out, framing and coding. This combination coincides with the recent release of Elastix 2.2.

As a distribution of Asterisk (News - Alert), Elastix is built to enable unified communications and VoIP systems within an open source solution.

"It is very important for Elastix to have developed a simple and intuitive detection of Sangoma hardware," said Edgar Landivar, CEO of PaloSanto Solutions, the company behind the development of Elastix. "This was something that the community had been demanding for a while and makes Elastix and Sangoma a solid combination."

Sangoma has also introduced the beta version of the W400 Board, its first-ever GSM-capable telephony interface board, that will allow IP-PBXs built with Asterisk to communicate with the GSM cellular network, even when no PTSN or Internet connection is accessible. In addition to cost-effectively completing calls between the IP-PBX (News - Alert) and mobile phones, the W400 provides a direct route from an IP-PBX to certain GSM data functions, including sending or receiving SMS messages.

Meanwhile, up to four simultaneous quad-band EGSM sessions are supported by the board, which comes packed with onboard hardware echo cancellation, noise suppression and DTMF detection, and comes in a PCIe configuration.

Developers interested in the W400 beta testing program will receive a five-year warranty upon purchase. For more information, click here.
