Recent Press Releases
IP-Centrex.ca Launched
netVOICE announced the first VoIP service aimed specifically at the
Small- and Medium-sized Business (SMB) market with features unavailable
from other VoIP providers. IP-Centrex.ca provides IP-based telephone services
starting for a little as CA$9.95 (plus usage). See www.ip-centrex.ca
New VoIP Products Available Now
Digium IAXy Analog Telephone Adapter
Digium is about to announce a new analog telephone adapter that communicates
with Asterisk using IAX instead of SIP. We have a few of the first production
run (not even Digium's own web site shows this item available to order)!
See www.netvoice.ca/digium/IAXy.htm
Digium FXO modules
After months of waiting Digium has started shipping the most needed
addition to their product line: a multi-port FXO board. Until now, connecting
Asterisk servers to more than two telephone trunks was a problem. Not
anymore. Digium is backordered on these popular cards but we've got them
in stock. www.netvoice.ca/digium/tdm400p.htm
Grandstream Handy-Tone 486
Grandstream's new analog telephone adapter includes a broadband router
providing both VoIP connectivity (without NAT traversal problems) as well
as firewall protection for PCs within the home or office. www.netvoice.ca/grandstream/handytone486.htm
Turn-Key Asterisk Servers
netVOICE communications is now shipping turn-key Asterisk servers for
common office configurations. We are providing 8x24 and 23x96 as standard
configurations for prices starting under CA$3,000 ALL HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE
INCLUDED! Or, if you prefer, we can install the software and interface
cards on your server. www.netvoice.ca/ippbx/
New Products Available Soon
SNOM 220
SNOM will soon start shipping the SNOM 220 which has an improved display
and, most importantly, an expandable key pad module that can handle up
to 60 additional function keys/lights. See www.netvoice.ca/snom/snom220.htm
Sayson 480i
Sayson will start shipping shortly their new VoIP phone the 480i. With
a large screen, programmable function keys, and a very competitive price
we expect this phone to become the choice for business installations.
We have placed our opening order and are accepting orders for the first
units to ship. www.netvoice.ca/sayson/sayson480i.htm
Interesting Projects
We're working on a number of interesting projects that we will be describing
in future issues. Look forward to details on:
- hybrid PBXs which connect both to analog trunks and our IP-Centrex.ca
service
- phone service extenders which enable a remote location to access
the phone lines using wireless networking and back-to-back Asterisk
servers
- VoIP servers for VSPs deploying phone service that can scale to
serve thousands of residential customers
Stay tuned for more details once these projects are completed and can
be publicised.
We are also proud to announce that netVOICE communications is a sponsor
of e164.org - a not-for-profit organisation providing E.164 database services.
See www.e164.org
netVOICE communications is Vancouver's VoIP/Open Source Telephony VAR.
We are Digium's only authorised reseller west of Toronto and stock all
Digium cards and Grandstream SIP phones and adapters.
