AudioCodes and FaxBack Partner to Deliver Best-in-Class IP Fax Solutions

Interoperability between NET SatisFAXtion 8.1 and AudioCodes' SIP media gateways enables scalable PSTN and IP Fax solutions

---

Internet Telephony Conference and Expo EAST - Ft. Lauderdale, FL - January 24, 2007 - AudioCodes, a leading provider of Voice over Packet (VOP) technologies and voice network products, and FaxBack, developer of NET SatisFAXtion IP, a T.38 VoIP fax solution, today announced that they have completed interoperability testing between NET SatisFAXtion 8.1 and AudioCodes' TrunkPack PCI and cPCI form factor SIP media gateway products.

By combining NET SatisFAXtion and AudioCodes' SIP media gateways, designers can build high performance and scalable fax solutions for applications that need to retain their existing PSTN infrastructure and avoid purchasing expensive dedicated fax blades. With this combined solution, a broad range of enterprise and service provider applications can be deployed leveraging industry-standard T.38 and SIP protocols. Service provider applications as large as multiple DS3s can be implemented using the AudioCodes TP-6310/SIP cPCI media gateway blade, while at the other end of the spectrum enterprise applications as small as a single fractional T1 can be configured using the TP-260/SIP PCI media gateway.

"Our partnership with FaxBack enables a new range of high-performance and scalable fax offerings to customers," says Moshe Tal, General Manager of AudioCodes Blade Business Line. "Integrating our T.38-enabled media gateway products will provide industry leading AudioCodes media gateway performance along with the powerful FaxBack application platform."

"Implementing the NET SatisFAXtion IP and AudioCodes solution helps companies complete their business communication strategy beyond voice and data by easily adding fax capability to IP environments, leveraging investments in converged networks," says Mike Oliszewski, CTO of FaxBack. "Whether organizations seek to eliminate fax machines, automate and track inbound fax traffic or integrate fax with core business applications such as email, NET SatisFAXtion IP and AudioCodes media gateways are a cost-effective and reliable choice."

AudioCodes' TrunkPack line of SIP media gateways, including the TP-260, TP-1610 and TP-6310, offer OEMs and value added resellers both PCI and cPCI digital media gateway platforms for enhanced voice services and enterprise applications. Offered in densities from one E1/T1 on a single PCI slot up to a full OC3 on one cPCI blade, the TrunkPack line is an excellent building block for a diverse range of applications including fax solutions. The TrunkPack line supports a range of central office and PBX TDM protocols, including ISDN, CAS and E1R2 signaling. Leveraging an on-board SIP stack, the TrunkPack line eliminates the need for PCI drivers and associated operating system compatibility issues.

NET SatisFAXtion IP leverages converged network investments and, unlike traditional fax server solutions, does not require expensive fax blade hardware, complex configurations and ongoing support costs. This software streamlines and automates the faxing process, allowing inbound and outbound fax routing from the desktop while increasing employee productivity. Installation is quick and easy using the web-based LaunchPad that is installed on the fax server system.
