Looking for a cost-effective way to modernize your fax communications in a primarily MS Windows-based environment? Look no further. A pioneer in the voice and fax industry since 1989, Thought Communications markets FaxTalk as a modestly priced, yet modern and feature-rich T.38-enabled faxing solution.

FaxTalk comes in three variants: FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro, FaxTalk Messenger Pro, and FaxTalk Multiline Server. Each caters to a specific set of needs (see comparison matrix), but all deliver advanced fax, voice messaging, and client/server capabilities in a user-friendly application that works well with our Power-T.38 SIP trunking service.

Trusted and deployed by some of the world’s largest service providers, Grandstream’s SIP unified communication solutions have been known for quality, reliability, and innovation since 2002.

Enter the company’s newest addition to its ATA catalogue—the HT801/802 v2 series—an ultra-compact device which exemplifies the quality, reliability, and innovation that customers have come to expect from Grandstream. Much like its predecessor, the HT801/802 v2 delivers powerful VoIP technology and routing capabilities and is ideal for both home and office environments, allowing users to successfully connect their analog devices to a manageable, robust network.

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.

The ATA 191-MPP and ATA 192-MPP 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.

We are pleased to announce that we have successfully completed interoperability testing with FreeSWITCH, a powerful open source telephony platform capable of routing and connecting various communication protocols such as audio, video or text. FreeSWITCH was designed by several former developers of the popular Asterisk open source PBX and was created to address the drawbacks of proprietary solutions with a focus on key design goals such as stability and scalability.

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
