Do you remember the good old days, when things were simple? In the early days of fax, you used physical fax boards and servers, connected to real, tangible ISDN PRI T1 lines. Traditional phone lines were circuit-switched, which is a fancy way of saying they were optimized to deliver perfect audio every time, independent of conditions. Faxing was error free. The physical hardware worked well.

Then came progress. And three things happened to disrupt the status quo:

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed interoperability testing with NetGen’s Smart ATAs. [NetGen Communications, Inc. (NetGen)](https://www.netgencommunications.com), a spin-off of Commetrex Corporation, is a provider of ATAs with patented Smart FoIP, gateways, IP and wireless/IP PBXs, and IP phones. Their Smart ATAs are equipped with Smart FoIP patented technology that finally makes FoIP calls as reliable as PSTN fax calls. In addition to innovative fax capabilities, the Smart ATAs also provide quality voice performance and a full range of calling features.

NetGen found that serious problems with SIP negotiations for Fax over IP calls exist in the carrier-based networks. Since our SIP trunks were specifically optimized for FoIP, we are the only provider of reliable T.38 FoIP service. This makes us a natural fit with the Smart ATAs and their focus on reliable FoIP performance.

After rigorous testing, our interop ninjas found that the Smart ATA’s excellent T.38 support, combined with our

## [T38Fax Joins Obihai's List of Compatible Service Providers](https://blog.t38fax.com/t38fax-joins-obihais-list-of-compatible-service-providers)

[![OBiTALK-Link-Dev.jpg](https://blog.t38fax.com/hubfs/OBiTALK-Link-Dev.jpg)](https://blog.t38fax.com/t38fax-joins-obihais-list-of-compatible-service-providers)

T38Fax is pleased to join Obihai’s list of compatible service providers. Obihai Technology is a leading manufacturer in the Voice over IP endpoint industry and maker of the best-selling OBi universal voice adapters and IP phones. They developed OBiTALK, a web portal and OBi configuration utility which helps OBi users configure devices and access applications.

Within the OBiTALK portal, Obihai offers a list of compatible service providers, which allows users to easily configure an OBi phone adaptor or IP phone with their specific provider. Using the OBiTALK portal, OBi device owners can select their service provider from this list and enter their credentials. Once a selection is made, the device is automatically configured to work with the service provider, and calls can be made and received within minutes. 

Service provider partners can also sign in to the OBiTALK ITSP Device Management Portal (DMP). This tool was designed for service providers, system integrators, and value-added resellers (VAR) to manage their OBi device deployments. It allows them to remotely and securely access and configure OBi devices from anywhere. When a service provider signs in to the OBiTALK portal, they can set up SIP registration and configure more advanced VoIP functions. This will eliminate the need to configure and re-package each device before sending it to the end user.

T38Fax is proud to be the only FoIP-specific service provider on the OBiTALK compatible service provider list. Our SIP trunks were designed by fax industry experts to solely offer T.38 Fax over IP call origination and termination. We have tested our integration in the OBiTALK portal and found that it offers an easy and straightforward way to

## [T38Fax - The FoIP Solution for Any Use Case Scenario](https://blog.t38fax.com/t38fax-solutions-for-typical-use-case-scenarios)

[![T38Fax - The FoIP Solution for Any Use Case Scenario](https://blog.t38fax.com/hubfs/Single%20Fax%20ATA.png)](https://blog.t38fax.com/t38fax-solutions-for-typical-use-case-scenarios)

If you're reading this blog, then you rely on FoIP in some way, and it's likely causing you headaches. Maybe you're a single ATA user trying to fax with your current carrier, but not having much luck. Perhaps you have a fax server that won't work consistently now that you've upgraded your phone network to VoIP. Or you're a service provider that can't seem to provide reliable FoIP to your customers and fax support is causing you nightmares.

If you fit into any of these categories, then your business depends on FoIP, but you can't get it to work reliably. As you upgrade your communications infrastructure to SIP, fax support can get left behind. Finding a carrier that guarantees (and supports!!) T.38 on your service is almost impossible. If you’re a carrier or service provider, you know that successful T.38 requires significant investment in equipment and expertise and fax troubleshooting takes skill from seasoned fax experts.

Luckily, we can help! T38Fax provides reliable faxing and premium support over our SIP trunks, which were specifically designed for T.38. Whether you’re a single fax user, a business with a fax server or IP-PBX, or a hosted VoIP or SIP trunk vendor, our Power-T.38 service can work for you. Find your use-case scenario below and see how.

The OBi202, OBi302, OBi504vs, and OBi508vs are each equipped with multiple ports and are capable of connecting to more than one DID. If you are using one of these devices, you can take advantage of multi-DID routing, which can save you money and decrease the complexity of your configuration. You can consolidate a group of DIDs under a single SIP registration. This will give you the flexibility

[![Asterisk Officially Certified](https://blog.t38fax.com/hubfs/Asterisk-Interopped.png)](https://blog.t38fax.com/asterisk-officially-certified)

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed interoperability testing with [Asterisk](https://www.asterisk.org). Asterisk is a free and open source framework for building communications applications, like business phone systems, call distributors, VoIP gateways, and conference bridges. As open source software, it has been enhanced and tested by a global community of thousands. It is sponsored by [Digium](https://www.digium.com), and it is used by almost the entire Fortune 1000 list of customers.

Some of our largest service providers have built their businesses on Asterisk and related open source telephony tools. But the challenge to offering dependable faxing has been finding a SIP trunk vendor who offers reliable T.38. Asterisk is known to work very well with our Power-T.38 products. Simply activate service with us, connect to our SIP trunk, and marvel at how well the faxing works.

Our interop ninjas have been hard at work interop testing Asterisk. Their software has passed our rigorous testing requirements and made it to our Approved List. We've gathered our screen shots and recommended best practices and assembled them into our [Asterisk knowledge base article](https://helpdesk.t38fax.com/hc/en-us/articles/360052596072-Asterisk), which you can find here:

It really is just that easy. Simply use Power-T.38 as your underlying carrier for fax calls, and we'll take care of the T.38 for you. Just imagine getting rid of those headaches!
