Does being able to integrate fax onto your BRI IP PBX (News - Alert) phone system for unified messaging, using only one interface card, sound good to you?

How about also being able to connect up to 4 ports of BRI plus 2 ports of Analog FXO or FXS and get common synchronous clocking for all channels for guaranteed fax support and unified messaging? Oh, and with telco-grade hardware echo cancellation for good measure?

If you’re looking for something like that, you might want to check out Sangoma’s FlexBRI IP PBX. Company officials say it allows you to connect your analog lines into your BRI system using only one interface card.

This is obviously pitched at the small or home office market, its right in their sweet spot since Sangoma’s hybrid FlexBRI is capable of integrating an analog fax machine with a BRI phone system “using only one PCI (News - Alert) or PCI express slot,” and will fit in even the smallest 1U servers.

The way Sangoma officials explain it, a single PCI or PCI Express slot hosts the connection for up to four ports of BRI and two ports of Analog FXO or FXS, and “ensures common synchronous clocking for all channels with absolutely no signaling issues.”

Telco-grade, hardware echo cancellation is included, if you needed that little extra nudge to sway your decision.

Earlier this week TMC’s (News - Alert) Susan J. Campbell wrote that messaging enabled across disparate platforms helps to drive collaboration within any organization. As more and more companies make the migration to Unified Communications platforms, there is a growing need for unified messaging to ensure consistent communications and innovation.

SoTel Systems (News - Alert) is one provider in the unified messaging space that delivers enabling technologies to drive unified platforms for messaging between different users. Such platforms rely on technology such as the Sangoma A142 Data Card, which effectively replaces the Sangoma S5141 card.
