Kiax Business VoIP Softphone ver 2.1 Will Feature .TEL Support

2 Jan 2009

The new version of the popular Asterisk business VoIP Softphone will feature .tel automated discovery of business phone numbers by given .tel domain name. Forschung-Direkt is glad to announce the availability of .TEL functionalities in the upcoming version 2.1 of the popular softphone Kiax. Emil Stoyanov, co-founder of Forschung-Direkt, explains, The new top-level domain .TEL provides a new way for the business to make itself even more visible and present online using business VoIP technology.

One of the reasons why Kiax is a popular choice in the office is that it provides a simple and accessible user interface and is designed for easy interaction with business VoIP services. We believe that .TEL will be a great addition to Kiax which will contribute to even better user experience. Softphones are very popular today among businessmen and private users, who can carry both phone and contacts with them on their laptop and use business VoIP services all around the world to make cheap or free phone calls. .TEL is a sponsored top-level domain approved by ICANN and owned by Telnic.

While other top-level domains such as .COM or .NET serve the purpose of a friendly way to address and access internet resources, the .TEL proposes an innovative approach to a method for global access to contact information. Companies and individuals can easily publish and manage their business addresses, methods of communication, location or other meaningful information.

An associated .TEL page may render this information by integrating it with other services, such as Facebook, Google Maps, etc. This information is also accessible through the DNS service, thus instantly making it pervasive and lightweight. Telnic has made available a number of tools and examples online, under an open source license as a way to make the integration of .tel business VoIP functionality easier and more accessible for the developer community.

The initial integration of native .TEL access in Kiax will give its users the opportunity to evaluate the service, respond with feedback and eventually suggest new useful features such as easier management of private and business contacts, transparent update of contact data, visualization of location of call participants or even intelligently route calls.

IVC provides cardiovascular healthcare services via its Gainesville headquarters as well as at a branch office in Lake City, Fla.

Handling hundreds of incoming calls every day, IVC needed a new business telephone system to manage its call load while continuing to provide exceptional patient service. Lonn McDowell, CEO of IVC, said, “We wanted a VoIP business telephone system that would seamlessly network our two offices and allow for centralized answering and patient scheduling, provide unified messaging, enable remote access for administration, improve HIPAA compliance, and protect against surges, power fluctuations and lightning.”

Margarita Purvis, major accounts manager of Authorized Toshiba Dealer ComSys, also headquartered in Gainesville, Fla., recommended the Toshiba Strata® CIX™ IP business telephone system.

Business VoIP Boosts Carrier IP Telephony Market

Admin — Mon, 24 May 2010 20:41:17 +0000

11 Sep 2009

A recent report published by Dell’Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, indicates that the carrier IP telephony market rose 7 percent sequentially in the second quarter of 2009, to $737 million, as service providers replenished equipment and license inventories and purchased infrastructure to serve near-term customer needs.

“Although the weak economy and lack of confidence in business conditions have severely reduced spending on network modernization projects, subscriber facing equipment has seen only a modest negative impact, and business voice-over-broadband licenses on both softswitches and voice application servers remain a bright spot,” said Greg Collins, Vice President at Dell’Oro Group. “During the quarter, softswitch IP business trunk, including SIP trunk, license shipments increased 33 percent during the second quarter and business voice or IP Centrex license shipments on voice application servers grew 85 percent,” he added.

According to the report, several smaller market players with limited exposure to large network upgrade projects, such as AudioCodes, MetaSwitch, and Veraz, gained share in the second quarter. Nortel regained the top market position during the quarter; however, some of its larger competitors, such as Huawei and Nokia Siemens, that have a relatively high degree of exposure to large network modernization projects, lost share.
