By Doug Mohney, on April 15th, 2011 LG-Ericsson has launched the iPECS-LIK business communications products family. The company says iPECS-LIK delivers all of the functionality of a traditional PBX (and seriously, who is buying a “traditional” PBX these days?) with the addition of UC features.
Offering solutions from 10 users up to 1000 users – this would cover SMB up to [...]

By Doug Mohney, on October 15th, 2010 Snom (www.snom.com) has gone official with its IP PBX offering. “Tightly integrated” with the company’s desktop IP phones, snom ONE’s introduction is likely to make its resellers happy and perhaps Digium (www.digium.com) a little annoyed.
The software-only IP PBX is available immediately through snom distributors and VARs and comes in three flavors. A free [...]

“Rich Calling” integrates data from CRM and IVR tools for SMBs, giving [...]
By Doug Mohney, on February 4th, 2010 Among the news I’m catching up on from IT EXPO East 2010 is the team up between Dialogic and Ingate to build Ingate’s SIP Trunking software module into a new enterprise border element designed to connect “virtually any” (well, it is virtual…) SIP trunk with virtually any PBX.
Goodness is expected in seamless SIP [...]

By Doug Mohney, on October 17th, 2009 Glendale AZ & Washington DC – As Digium celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Asterisk IP telephony platform this week at the AstriCon developer’s conference with cake and funny hats, this year’s keynote presentation by IBM CTO Mike Smith drifted into the mundane and dull — a very good thing.
