Interstar Technologies Inc., the pre-eminent developer of enterprise fax solutions for converged IP networks, today announced that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®)'s Internet Telephony® magazine has named XMediusFAX 4.0 as a Product of the Year winner for 2003. Internet Telephony is the premier publication in the burgeoning IP telephony industry.

"It is an honor to be granted an Internet Telephony Product of the Year award for our industry-leading IP fax server solution," said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies. "This award mirrors the response to XMediusFAX that we have received from our customers - a strong affirmation of its proven ability to reduce expenses and increase productivity. XMediusFAX 4.0 adds support for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and offers simultaneous support for fax boards and T.38 fax-over-IP gateways, among a host of new features and improvements."

XMediusFAX is the first enterprise fax server designed for 21st-century VoIP networks. A single network carries voice, data, and fax traffic in real time, without requiring costly, hard-to-configure fax boards. Users compose, send, and receive their faxes directly at their desktops and receive instant fax status notification. It's fast, secure, and easy to use, making it the leading choice of Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and financial institutions.

"XMediusFAX 4.0 is clearly deserving of leadership status in the IP fax server sector of the IP telephony industry. We're proud to reward their hard work and innovation with a Product of the Year Award for 2003," said Rich Tehrani, President of TMC and group editor-in-chief of Internet Telephony.
