Cisco ATA 191 and ATA 192 Multiplatform ATAs Officially Certified

Posted by Holly Caldwell on Nov 18, 2020 11:00:00 AM

Cisco has released the next generation replacement of the venerable SPA112 ATA, one of the company's most widely deployed ATAs which was declared EOL (End of Life) in the summer of 2020. These new ATAs are part of Cisco’s line of best-in-class small business voice gateways and ATAs, designed to support office or residential communication needs. The underlying technology has a strong pedigree in the SIP industry, having started out in the early days as Sipura Technology, which was wisely acquired by Cisco and branded as Linksys, then eventually promoted to the official Cisco brand.

Podcast: CHANNEL PARTNERS – SPECIAL FEATURE – Finally, Fax technology that WORKS ALL THE TIME for Business, Fax Servers and Service Providers.

- Posted on Telecom Reseller on April 10, 2019

 

It is long overdue.  Sending faxes over the internet has been a problem since they first started sending them.  It is still an essential part of businesses but always the after-thought when migrating to the cloud. Faxes are not an after-thought any longer. Darren Nickerson, Founder and President of T38FAX, has been involved with faxes and the internet for decades. He explains to Don Witt of The Channel Daily News, a TR publication how he does it. It is a very interesting explanation of how he identified the actual internet-fax problem and how T38FAX fixed it.

Why Power-T.38 from T38fax.com?

Posted by Darren Nickerson on Sep 24, 2018 10:06:50 AM

 

Our Power-T.38 product is similar to the SIP trunks you might purchase from another VoIP Service provider, with one significant difference - our SIP trunks are not only guaranteed to offer astoundingly reliable T.38 Fax Over IP call termination and origination, but that's really all they're meant to do. These purpose-built trunks are also competitively priced, making them suitable to everyone from the largest telecommunications carriers to the single home office fax machine connected with an analog telephone adapter (ATA).

We understand that you have many choices in today's crowded telecommunications market, so here are a few reasons you should give Power-T.38 a try:

  1. We do T.38 correctly. Almost nobody else does. We know, we looked!
  2. We support facsimile ECM (Error Correction Mode). You need it, and we insist on it.
  3. The largest SIP carriers don't understand T.38 at all - they're voice people.
  4. T.38 Fax Over IP is an elegant, extremely effective solution to a very real problem.
  5. It's free to try us, we even give you $25 and unlimited support from true fax experts.

We'll discuss each of those points in more detail, below.

T38Fax Launches T.38 Rescue - A No Obligation, Free Consultation With a Fax Industry Expert

Posted by Dana Meltzer on May 22, 2018 12:07:36 PM

Is T.38 Fax Over IP (FoIP) causing you headaches? Are you experiencing surprisingly poor fax performance after converting/upgrading to SIP phone service? Can't find the source of your troubles? We feel your pain, we really really do. The good news is that FoIP doesn’t have to be a nightmare and in fact, when done correctly it can be just as reliable as faxing over traditional phone lines.

 

As you may already know all too well, there are many places a T.38 implementation can go wrong. It could be an issue with the underlying carrier, the equipment, a firewall, the fax software itself, or even the settings used during configuration. With so many moving parts the failures you're experiencing can seem unpredictable, .... random even. That’s where T38Fax’s experienced support engineers can help. Our motto is science, not superstition, and we're in the myth busting business.

FusionPBX Officially Certified

Posted by Dana Meltzer on Feb 20, 2018 2:51:30 PM

We’re excited to announce that we've successfully completed interoperability testing with FusionPBX, a popular web front-end to FreeSWITCH, the legendary cross-platform scalable (and free) multi-protocol softswitch. 

In simple terms, FusionPBX is to FreeSwitch as FreePBX is to Asterisk - in other words it’s FreeSWITCH for mere mortals. FreeSWITCH is a powerful and scalable voice switch used by many of the world’s leading telecommunications service providers and a large percentage of businesses worldwide, but it has a pretty steep learning curve and can take weeks, if not months to master. 

FusionPBX adds extra functionality to the FreeSwitch platform while making it easy to administer via an attractive

The Stubborn Persistence of Fax

Posted by Darren Nickerson on Jan 8, 2018 12:05:00 PM

image.pngI used to feel defensive when people asked me what I did for a living. I suppose it should have come as no surprise that people would do a double take when I answered. After all, I've built a business around a technology that is now considered obsolete by most, and was thought to be in decline even in 2002 when I began.

 

Hello, my name is Darren, and I am a Fax Entrepreneur.

No, you didn't hear me wrong, I'm a card-carrying member of the facsimile fan club. I have been since 1992 when, while a PhD student at the University of Oxford, I assumed the persona of 'Arlington Hewes' of The Phone Company (TPC.INT) and began to learn about HylaFAX (then FlexFax) ... industrial software for sending massive amounts of faxes. I'm sure many of you can look back on pivotal times in your lives ... a time when many doors are open and choices have to be made, decisions that lead to everything that follows. This was one such time.

So why would anyone in their right mind base a business on fax, you might ask? And if they had made such a mistake, how could they possibly still be doing it?

T38Fax and Telinta Partner to Offer Fax Solutions for VoIP Service Providers

Posted by Dana Meltzer on Dec 18, 2017 3:06:47 PM

T38Fax knows that providing and supporting reliable Fax over IP (FoIP) can be a key differentiator for VoIP service providers. VoIP networks are optimized for voice services, not fax, making it challenging for these service providers to support FoIP. That’s why we partnered with Telinta, a global leader in cloud-based white label switching and billing solutions for VoIP service providers and their resellers. Their portfolio includes business and residential VoIP, hosted PBX, audio-conferencing, calling card, pinless, mobile, callback and wholesale VoIP. By working together, we can deliver reliable fax solutions to VoIP service providers.
