Revolutionary Fax-over-IP Server Solution Fax-Enables Enterprise Networks
Montreal, Canada, Oct. 15, 2002
Interstar Technologies, Inc. announced today that its XMediusFAX T.38 Fax-over-IP Server solution has been named a ”Best of Show” winner at Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC™)’s INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference and Expo, San Diego 2002. The show, held last month at San Diego’s Hotel Inter-Continental, is widely considered the #1 global event focused on voice, video, fax, and data convergence.
XMediusFAX is a revolutionary Fax-over-IP server solution that fax-enables enterprise networks without the need for expensive computer-telephony interface boards or leased analog lines. XMediusFAX transmits faxes directly over IP networks, using existing Voice-over-IP gateways. Keeping fax transmissions digital over IP networks for the greatest possible distance, XMediusFAX intelligently re-uses VoIP infrastructure and virtually eliminates fax-related long-distance toll charges, which typically add up to 25% of enterprise communications costs. XMediusFAX also integrates directly into existing enterprise messaging systems, allowing users to receive faxes directly in their email inboxes, and with e-commerce solutions for EDI, faxback and transaction processes.
“We’re extremely pleased that XMediusFAX has again been selected as Best of Show,” stated Interstar President and CEO, Guy Blanchette. “XMediusFAX is changing the face of the fax industry and this award is a fitting tribute to the hard work our leading-edge research and development team put in getting this product to market.”
“Interstar and their innovative product XMediusFAX are a standout indication of why so many enterprise buyers, developers, and service providers flock to INTERNET TELEPHONY® Conference & Expo,” said TMC President and Conference Co-Chairman, Rich Tehrani. “Their innovation and commitment to quality attract serious prospects to their booth. Attendees know they'll find solutions in the Interstar booth that can help them in their businesses today.”
The Best of Show awards emphasize technology innovation and product feature sets. Forward-looking products that will aid in the development of the next generation of VoIP solutions were also awarded. Each winner submitted a thorough application and displayed and demonstrated their product on the INTERNET TELEPHONY® Expo show floor.
“By all accounts, INTERNET TELEPHONY® San Diego 2002 was one of the most successful VoIP events ever staged. Attendees and exhibitors alike agreed the energy at the show signaled good times ahead for the IP telephony industry. Interstar and XMediusFAX are positioned perfectly to lead a strong resurgence in sales and installations of Internet telephony products and services,” added Marc Robins, TMC’s vice president of publications and trade shows.
A full list of the winners will appear in an upcoming issue of Internet Telephony® magazine.
