Le marché du SIP : état des lieux et perspectives – Ariel Gomez, Directeur de la publication du Journal des Télécoms

Historiquement le premier poste SIP a été lancé par snom, pionnier du marché. Pour rappel, Le protocole ouvert SIP est principalement utilisé dans la VoIP, la visiophonie, la messagerie instantanée, la gestion de présence, la réalité virtuelle et les jeux vidéo. En 2010, seulement 1% des postes vendus dans le monde étaient des postes SIP, mais le marché est en plein essor avec une croissance annuelle de 33%.

Quels sont les « drivers » du marché SIP :

  • Le travail collaboratif : le partage de tous les médias sur tous les terminaux, les organisations en mode projet et le mode SaaS amène une véritable évolution.
  • La progression très forte des communications unifiées : d’après IDC, le marché européen va doubler en 4 ans
  • Le renouvellement de l’analogique : 36% des équipements ont plus de 5 ans et 63% plus de 3 ans
  • Le marché de l’open source : une opportunité pour le développement de produits SIP. Aux Etats-Unis 18% des IPBX étaient vendus en open source. L’open source se répand dans la mobilité.
  • Le SIP trunking : En Amérique du nord – 7,2 Millions d’utilisateurs en 2010, 59 millions prévus en 2017
  • La mobilité : nécessite un accès permanent au SI de l’Entreprise. Les Smartphones et Tablettes s’invitent dans l’entreprise. Les DSI doivent faire face au phénomène BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) : les salariés de l’entreprise travaillent avec leurs propres terminaux.

Snom France : un positionnement haut de gamme – Olivier GERLING– Directeur Général, snom France

Depuis 3 ans, snom France a tenu ses engagements en enregistrant une croissance moyenne de 40%, grâce à ses choix structurants établis dès le départ. snom France figure parmi les précurseurs du marché de la Voix sur IP (VoIP) et se positionne comme la marque PREMIUM du secteur.

Constructeur spécialisé dans les communications VoIP SIP et Microsoft Lync, snom France apporte à ses clients des solutions de téléphonie sur IP à forte valeur ajoutée.

Le point clé des postes snom : l’ADN

Les postes snom ont plus de 550 fonctions, intégrées dans un environnement business. La gamme complète répond à tous les besoins des grands comptes, PME et opérateurs : postes tactiles, postes évolués, postes simples, conférenciers, DECT, extensions, etc. Les postes sont tous Ethernet, POE, avec la possibilité de les mettre en wifi et de connecter des devices en bluetooth. Le port USB sera utilisé pour des fonctions futures comme l’encryptage de données.

« Cette première édition du Symposium a fait ressortir la demande des acteurs Français importants du monde SIP et Lync  pour des produits technologiquement avancés, fiables et facile à déployer», déclare Olivier Gerling, DG de snom France et ajoute « Les terminaux doivent être des caméléons capables de s’intégrer dans des réseaux complexes, fédérés et s’harmoniser avec les besoins des clients en fonction de l’usage du moment. L’ADN des postes snom autorise ces usages multiples »

Snom France vous donne rendez-vous l’année prochaine au SIP Symposium 2013

snom UC edition Business Phones are Now Managed By Microsoft Lync for Simple Enterprise Deployments

snom BETA release “Apollo” speeds and simplifies enterprise-wide setup, configuration and management of snom UC SIP endpoints with Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Voice; also features new Music on Hold, Boss/Admin and Presence functionality for snom UC endpoints ‘Qualified for Microsoft Lync’

Woburn, Mass. and Berlin, Germany (May 16, 2012)snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications solutions, today introduced a new beta release of firmware for its snom UC business phone portfolio for Microsoft Lync. Called “Apollo,” the new snom software features new configuration and management capabilities designed to accelerate the speed and simplicity for deploying and operating Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Enterprise Voice and snom UC edition phones in large multi-site business environments.

The new snom UC firmware also supports unique features for its ‘Qualified for Lync’ endpoints designed specifically for enterprise level installation of voice-enabled Microsoft Lync, including Music on Hold, Boss/Admin and integrated Presence capabilities.

“Apollo delivers a range of new capabilities to make mass multisite deployment of voice-enabled Microsoft Lync with snom UC SIP-based business phones faster and easier,” said Mike Storella, snom technology, Inc. Chief Operating Officer. “Resellers and businesses alike will appreciate the technical benefits of these management and usability features that translate to bottom line savings for their Lync deployments.”

snom “Apollo” Release Highlights

  • Integrated configuration and management of snom UC endpoints within Microsoft Lync Server provides “plug and play” deployment simplicity:

Native software updates for snom endpoints can be made and managed directly from the Microsoft Lync server. “Easy sign-in” via extension and PIN enable snom UC devices to request and start using a  client certificate for authentication, eliminating the need to enter full NTLM credentials. This makes the phones independent from password changes – a critical need in businesses where password changes are frequent. The “hot desking” functionality allows users to sign into multiple accounts. The new firmware also adds support for call parking and integration with survivable branch appliances for continued communication during a WAN outage.

  • New Feature Support for Microsoft Lync Qualified snom UC phones:

snom’s growing UC edition family currently includes the entry-level snom 300 UC edition, snom 370 UC edition and the advanced snom 821 UC edition, which are already tested and ‘Qualified for Microsoft Lync.’ These phones expand functionality beyond traditional voice features by integrating with the productivity-enhancing features included in Lync such as presence, quick dialing from Lync buddy lists and more. Now, with the latest firmware release, snom adds support for major features that further integrate the phone with Lync’s capabilities.

            The new features include:

Music on Hold snom phones are now able to generate music for callers placed on hold.

Boss/Admin This new feature simplifies the flow of calls between two co-workers such as a boss and his/her administrative assistant, including line monitoring and intercepting incoming calls. One party can can also make calls on behalf of the other.

Presence Buttons – Assign contacts to the phone’s buttons directly from the contact list and simply push the button to view live presence status in real-time.

snom UC “Apollo” Beta Available Today

snom’s network of registered VAR partners and customers are invited to test this beta release of new snom UC firmware. All feedback will be considered for incorporation into the RTM code for the final release, prior to the qualification process by Microsoft.

snom ottimizza l’edizione UC del suo firmware per Microsoft Lync™

Il nuovo firmware conferisce ai telefoni snom un posizionamento unico sul mercato della telefonia VoIP

Berlino, 16 maggio 2012 – snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, ha lanciato la tanto attesa versione beta dell’edizione UC del suo firmware. Gli utenti registrati sul sito di snom possono ora scaricare e testare il software gratuitamente. Le nuove funzionalità integrate nell’edizione UC del firmware garantiscono a snom un posizionamento unico nell’ambito dei terminali certificati Microsoft® Lync™.

Le nuove funzioni integrate nell’edizione UC del firmware semplificano nettamente l’implementazione dei telefoni IP di snom in ambienti Microsoft Lync. Gli aggiornamenti nativi del software consentono agli amministratori di gestire i terminali snom direttamente attraverso il server Lync – un notevole vantaggio soprattutto nelle grandi installazioni. Un altro highlight del nuovo firmware è la registrazione degli utenti con il rispettivo numero di interno ed il PIN corrispondente.

Inoltre l’edizione UC del firmware di snom presenta numerose caratteristiche note nella telefonia tradizionale, che però sinora non erano fruibili attraverso terminali UC. “In fase di sviluppo di funzioni quali la possibilità di annunciare una chiamata – ossia la classica funzione segretaria/direttore – o di trasmettere la musica di cortesia per le chiamate in attesa, ci siamo orientati principalmente alle esigenze dell’utente finale” afferma Tim Köhler, Senior Product Manager dell’edizione UC del firmware di snom.

L’edizione UC di snom comprende attualmente il telefono di base snom 300, lo snom 370, e per esigenze più complesse il telefono business snom 821. Ampiamente testati da Microsoft, i terminali hanno ottenuto la certificazione “Qualified for Lync”. snom intende completare il processo di certificazione Microsoft del nuovo firmware non appena sarà conclusa la fase beta. I telefoni IP “snom UC edition” integrano caratteristiche atte ad incrementare la produttività degli utenti, consentendo loro di avvalersi in modo ottimale di tutte le funzionalità del Microsoft Lync™ Server 2010, come ad esempio l’indicatore di presenza e la chiamata rapida attraverso l’elenco dei contatti preferiti. Con la nuova edizione UC del proprio firmware, snom conferisce ai propri telefoni ancora maggiori funzionalità.

I partner registrati, i System Integrator ed i clienti sono invitati a testare la nuova versione beta. Il feedback fornito dagli utenti confluisce nel codice RTM della versione finale. Ulteriori informazioni sulla versione beta 8.8.1.1 Apollo e il download gratuito sono disponibili sul sito http://www.snom.com/de/lync.

Informazioni su snom technology AG

Fondata nel 1996 a Berlino e pioniere della tecnologia VoIP, la snom technology AG è l’unico produttore al mondo di telefoni IP per il Microsoft® Lync ™ Server 2010, i cui terminali sono annoverati da Microsoft nella categoria “altri telefoni IP compatibili” – i telefoni snom supportano infatti sia piattaforme Lync sia lo standard aperto SIP. Il telefono IP di base, lo snom 300, lo snom 370 per utenti esigenti ed il telefono IP business snom 821 sono stati testati e ufficialmente certificati da Microsoft per l’impiego con il Lync Server. Il vantaggio univoco dei telefoni “qualified for Lync” di snom rispetto ai telefoni “ottimizzati per Lync” consta nel fatto che i telefoni snom operano contemporaneamente sia su piattaforme Microsoft Lync sia con qualsiasi centralino IP-PBX basato sullo standard SIP, grazie al design “dual stack”. In questo modo i terminali snom non solo consentono alle aziende di effettuare una migrazione graduale a Lync ma garantiscono anche massima protezione dell’investimento. I telefoni snom supportano inoltre una pletora di applicazioni che vanno al di là delle funzionalità offerte dalla piattaforma Lync, come la possibilità di configurare fino a 12 diversi account su un solo terminale, tasti funzione liberamente configurabili, visualizzazione delle presenze, personalizzazione del display a colori, WLAN e molto altro. Lo snom UC 600 completa la gamma di terminali UC di snom quale telefono IP sviluppato e ottimizzato per Lync, che supporta tutte le funzioni peculiari di Microsoft Lync.

Tutti i sistemi IP di snom corrispondono ai più elevati standard di sicurezza e sono particolarmente adatti all’impiego in ambito aziendale, per Internet Service Provider, Carrier e clientela OEM. Che si tratti di collegamenti VPN (Virtual Private Network) o soluzioni CTI (Computer Telephony Integration) – le funzionalità dei telefoni snom soddisfano tutte le esigenze della moderna comunicazione. Con i telefoni VoIP di snom, i primi al mondo a supportare lo standard TR-069 / TR-111, aziende e uffici pubblici possono distribuire gli interni senza difficoltà e configurare in modo standardizzato tutti i telefoni contemporaneamente. Oltre alla centrale sita a Berlino, snom dispone di filiali in Italia, Francia, Gran Bretagna e negli Stati Uniti. Con la sua rete commerciale snom è presente in oltre 60 Paesi del mondo.

snom optimiert seine UC edition Firmware für Microsoft Lync

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, hat die lang erwartete Beta-Version ihrer snom UC edition Firmware gelauncht. Die Software steht ab sofort zum kostenlosen Download und Test für alle registrierten Nutzer bereit. Zahlreiche neue Funktionen verleihen der UC edition Firmware von snom eine Sonderstellung im Microsoft® Lync™-Umfeld.

Die neuen Funktionen der snom UC edition Firmware erleichtern die einfache Integration der snom IP-Telefone in eine vorhandene Lync-Umgebung spürbar. Native Software-Updates erlauben es Administratoren etwa, snom Endgeräte direkt über den Lync Server zu verwalten – ein klarer Vorteil speziell bei größeren Installationen. Ein weiteres Highlight der neuen Firmware ist die Anmeldung per Durchwahl und PIN.

Darüber hinaus bietet die snom UC edition Firmware etliche Funktionen, die aus der traditionellen Telefonie bekannt sind, aber für UC-Endgeräte bislang nicht verfügbar waren. „Mit der Möglichkeit einer Rückfrage – wir sprechen von der sogenannten Chef-Sekretärin-Funktion – oder der Implementierung von Musik in die Warteschleife haben wir uns im Rahmen der Weiterentwicklung ganz an den Bedürfnissen der Endnutzer orientiert“, sagt Tim Köhler, Senior Product Manager der snom UC edition Firmware.

Die snom UC edition umfasst derzeit das Basis-Telefon snom 300 UC edition, das snom 370 UC edition für gehobenere Ansprüche und das Business-Telefon snom 821 UC edition. Die Geräte hat Microsoft bereits umfassend getestet und als „Qualified for Lync“ zertifiziert. Die offizielle Zertifizierung der neuen Firmware durch Microsoft strebt snom nach Abschluss der Beta-Phase an. Die IP-Telefone der snom UC edition bieten eine Vielzahl produktivitätssteigernder Funktionen, mit denen Anwender die Möglichkeiten des Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 optimal nutzen können, wie etwa Präsenzanzeige und Schnellwahl aus einer Favoritenliste heraus. Mit der neuen snom UC edition Firmware bietet snom einen nochmals stark verbesserten Funktionsumfang.

Registrierte Partner, Systemintegratoren und Kunden sind ab sofort dazu eingeladen, die neue Beta-Version zu testen. Das Feedback der Anwender fließt dann in den RTM Code der finalen Version ein. Weitere Informationen zur Beta-Version Apollo 8.8.1.1 und den kostenfreien Download gibt es unter http://www.snom.com/de/lync.

Über snom
Die snom technology AG wurde 1996 als Spezialist für VoIP-Telefonie in Berlin gegründet. snom ist der weltweit einzige Anbieter von IP-Telefonen für den Microsoft® LyncTM Server 2010, die von Microsoft zur Kategorie der „other compatible IP phones“ gezählt werden – denn diese snom Telefone unterstützen beides: Lync und den offenen SIP-Standard. Zudem hat snom mit dem UC600 auch ein reines „optimized for Lync“-Telefon im Programm. Seit September 2011 sind das Basistelefon snom 300, das snom 370 für gehobenere Ansprüche und das Businesstelefon snom 821 als kompatible IP-Telefone von Microsoft für den Einsatz am Lync-Server getestet und offiziell zertifiziert. Der einzigartige Vorteil dieser „qualified for Lync“-Telefone von snom besteht gegenüber „optimized for Lync“-Telefonen darin, dass die snom Geräte dank ihres Dual-Stack-Designs auch in Mischumgebungen aus Lync und beliebigen anderen SIP-basierten IP-PBX funktionsfähig sind. So eignen sie sich ideal für eine sanfte Migration zu Lync und stellen eine sehr zukunftssichere Investition dar. snom Telefone unterstützen zudem viele Anwendungen, die über die reinen Lync-Funktionalitäten hinausgehen – etwa bis zu zwölf verschiedene Accounts auf einem Gerät, individuell belegbare Funktionstasten, Präsenzstatusanzeige, anwenderspezifische Farbdisplay-Anpassungen, WLAN u.v.m. Das snom UC600 ergänzt die UC-Produktpalette von snom als ein rein für Lync optimiertes und entwickeltes IP-Telefon, das sämtliche Lync-spezifischen Funktionen unterstützt.

Alle snom IP-Systeme erfüllen hohe Sicherheitsstandards und eignen sich besonders für den Einsatz im Business-Bereich, für Internet Service Provider, Carrier und OEM-Kunden. Ob VPN-Anbindungen (Virtual Private Network) oder CTI-Lösungen (Computer Telephony Integration) – die Funktionalitäten der IP-Produkte orientieren sich ganz am Bedarf der modernen Kommunikation. Da snom Endgeräte als weltweit erste IP-Telefone den TR-069/TR-111 Standard unterstützen, können Unternehmen und öffentliche Einrichtungen problemlos beliebig viele Nebenstellen einrichten und alle Geräte gleichzeitig und standardisiert konfigurieren. Neben dem Hauptsitz in Berlin hat snom Niederlassungen in Italien, Frankreich, Großbritannien und den USA. Mit seinem Vertriebsnetzwerk ist snom in weltweit mehr als 60 Ländern vertreten.

Le esperienze sul campo: per snom un bene da condividere con i propri partner!

snom technology guarda all’incontro annuale con i propri VAR tenutosi l’8 maggio con grande soddisfazione. Oltre a condividere dati di mercato, informazioni sulla strategia aziendale, presentare un’anteprima mondiale e premiare i tre migliori VAR del 2011, il SIP Symposium 2012 è stato un utile momento di condivisione delle esperienze sul campo.

Milano, 11 Maggio 2012 – snom technology, produttore di soluzioni VoIP complete, ha tenuto lo scorso 8 maggio presso il Grand Hotel Barone di Sassj di Cinisello Balsamo il proprio SIP Simposium, l’esclusiva convention annuale per i propri partner certificati, attraverso cui il vendor condivide con il canale informazioni di prima mano sull’andamento del mercato, sulle novità, sulle soluzioni e sui progetti realizzati. “La condivisione di fatti, dati, esperienze e modalità di approccio ad un mercato che – nonostante il difficile momento economico – vanta ancora una forte potenzialità, è un bene imprescindibile in un’ottica di partnership concreta con i VAR”, spiega Fabio Albanini, Managing Director di snom technology Italia. Oltre alle promettenti previsioni degli analisti per il mercato del VoIP in Italia, snom ha ribadito l’importanza del canale nella strategia commerciale dell’azienda, per la quale “il primo trimestre del 2012 in Italia è stato il migliore in assoluto dall’inizio delle attività nel 2008” come ha confermato durante la sua presentazione il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e membro del CdA di snom, “un risultato che non avremmo mai conseguito senza i nostri partner”.

Le 84 presenze in sala non solo confermano gli ottimi rapporti che l’azienda intrattiene con il canale, bensì sottolineano il desiderio condiviso da entrambe le parti di avere successo: un obiettivo comune testimoniato anche dai tre VAR premiati per i migliori progetti realizzati nel 2011, nella fattispecie la DEXIT SRL di Trento, rappresentata dall’Ing. Tomasi, riconfermatasi al primo posto come nel 2010, la INNEXT SOLUTION SRL di Milano, rappresentata da Francesco Pedroni, passata dal terzo posto del 2010 all’attuale secondo e la new entry BASE SRL di Fornacette / Pisa, rappresentata da Luca Picchi, che hanno presentato alla platea i propri progetti condividendo spunti utili per una migliore commercializzazione del valore aggiunto del VAR in concomitanza con le solide soluzioni VoIP di snom.

Con la convention di quest’anno snom ha voluto far avvicinare i propri partner alle proprie soluzioni illustrando i tre pilastri che compongono la nuova strategia aziendale attraverso tre diverse demo live, con cui gli presenti hanno potuto verificare di persona le camaleontiche funzionalità del centralino, dei telefoni e della soluzione di domotica di snom, come anche l’interazione tra i telefoni snom e la piattaforma per le Unified Communications Microsoft Lync™, presentata dalla stessa Microsoft, in un’ottica di condivisione dell’efficacia di tali sistemi in termini di miglioramento dell’operatività aziendale. Per finire, snom ha presentato in anteprima mondiale il prototipo del nuovo telefono IP da tavolo snom 710, che sarà annunciato nei prossimi mesi, oltre a dare visibilità ai partner sulla roadmap del 2012.
Ma la convention non è stata solo un momento di condivisione di informazioni, bensì anche occasione di networking tra e con i partner in un’atmosfera rilassata, attraverso l’integrazione di una parentesi ludica ottimamente realizzata con una simpatica sfida a quiz per tavoli (Dr. Why), vinta dal team “snom 370”.

snom Phones Now Interoperable with Schmooze Com, Inc. Unified Communications Systems

snom phones validated for Schmooze Com’s PBXact phone system and PBXtended hosted PBX, providing complete IP voice solutions for SMBs and call center environments

Woburn, Mass. and Neenah, Wis. (April 24, 2012)snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications solutions today announced interoperability with Schmooze Com Inc.’s PBXact phone system and PBXtended hosted PBX. snom VoIP phones can now be auto provisioned via the Schmooze Com Endpoint Manager for quick and easy installation and no-hassle management directly from the PBX Graphical User Interface (GUI). The following six snom models are currently certified for the Schmooze solution: snom 300, snom 320, snom 370, snom 821 and snom 870 desktop phones and the snom M9 wireless handset.

The combination of snom phones and PBXact and PBXtended systems gives small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) and call centers a complete, end-to-end voice solution. Value Added Resellers (VARs) will appreciate the seamless auto provisioning and implementation using the Endpoint Manager GUI tool. Schmooze customers can take advantage of the full range of snom 300 and 800 series desktop phones to meet any staff requirement, as well as the snom m9 wireless handset that allows mobile workers to stay in touch while away from their desks. Whether a business chooses the PBXact premises-based PBX system or the hosted version, PBXtended, they will enjoy the same snom endpoint functionality.

“snom is committed to interoperability with a large number of SIP-based platforms and is pleased to have completed certification with Schmooze Com’s premises-based and hosted solutions. The ease of deployment and auto provisioning via Schmooze’s Endpoint Manager is a real plus for both VARs and end customers looking for a complete IP telephony deployment,” said Mike Storella, snom technology Chief Operating Officer.

The PBXact business telephone system and PBXtended hosted PBX provide all the standard features of a traditional PBX plus a unique set of features for the modern workforce, including visual voicemail, custom IVR auto attendants, find-me-follow-me and convenient voice recognition capabilities that allow employees to access the company directory, check messages and perform call control using simple voice commands. snom phones have been specially engineered with Schmooze’s “magic button” that has been programmed for voice commands and dialing. Users simply speak commands such as ‘call Mary,’ ‘transfer to Steve’ or ‘check messages’ rather than using the keypad and entering an extension number or code. For VARs, training is a breeze with no star codes or cheat sheets needed to remember the features.

“snom offers a solid lineup of stylish, high performance desktop VoIP phones, and a cordless handset with great range and battery life compared to other handsets on the market. We worked with snom over several months, and the certification process went extremely smoothly. VARs will appreciate the seamless auto provisioning of the snom phones whether these phones are new to the customer or already installed at the customer location and simply need to be integrated with our PBXact or PBXtended solution,” said TJ Stamm, VP of Sales and Marketing at Schmooze Com Inc.

The range of snom phones suit any business requirement. The entry-level snom 300 is a good fit for general office workers, while the 320 adds more line keys for office workers with high call volumes and the snom 370, with its large graphical, high-definition display, is ideal for business executives. The advanced snom 821 and 870 (touch-screen) feature a large, high-resolution color display, an integrated XML browser, wideband audio for enhanced audio quality and the built-in Gigabit Ethernet switch for the latest network installations. The snom M9 cordless IP DECT handset targets the mobile workforce, providing coverage of 50 meters indoors or 300 meters outdoors.

Umweltschutz groß geschrieben: snom setzt seine Green VoIP-Initiative fort

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, liefert seine IP-Telefone der 3xxer und 7xxer Serie ab sofort standardmäßig ohne externes Netzteil aus und setzt damit ganz auf Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) zur Stromversorgung. Über PoE lässt sich problemlos eine zentrale, unterbrechungsfreie Stromversorgung der IP-Telefone einrichten. Um ein ökologisches Umdenken zu fördern, wird snom in den neun Wochen vom 22. April bis zum 22. Juni 2012 für jedes IP-Telefon der 3xxer oder 7xxer Serie, das Kunden bei ihrem Distributor ohne externes Netzteil bestellen, je einen Euro spenden. Die Spende geht an die Umweltbürgerbewegung „Earth Day“, vertreten durch Earth Day International Deutsches Komitee e.V.

 „Regelmäßige Nachfragen bei unseren Kunden haben gezeigt, dass viele schon lange PoE zur Stromversorgung ihrer Telefone nutzen“, erklärt Dr. Michael Knieling, COO und Leiter von Marketing und Vertrieb bei snom. „Das bedeutet, dass bislang Tausende Netzteile völlig umsonst produziert werden – eine in unseren Augen vermeidbare Umweltbelastung. Mit der Spende an Earth Day möchten wir unseren Kunden verdeutlichen, dass auch sie mit einfachen Mitteln ihren Beitrag zum Umweltschutz leisten können.“ snom setzt durch die Unterstützung des deutschen Komitees von Earth Day International seine „Green VoIP“-Initiative fort – die nicht zuletzt auch im konsequent reduzierten Energieverbrauch der snom Telefone ihren Niederschlag findet. Wer trotz snom Spendenaktion und aller Vorteile der PoE-Stromversorgung nicht auf ein externes Telefon-Netzteil verzichten kann, erhält es bei Bedarf selbstverständlich weiterhin über seinen snom Distributor oder Fachhändler. http://www.snom.com/de/produkte/warum-ip-telefone-von-snom/snom-green-voip-initiative/

Der Earth Day findet alljährlich am 22. April weltweit in über 150 Ländern statt. Mit dem Motto „Global denken, lokal handeln“ verdeutlicht die Earth Day Umweltbürgerbewegung zweierlei: Jeder kann sich engagieren, und jeder Tag ist ein Tag für die Umwelt. Den Initiatoren des Earth Day geht es nicht nur um das heutige Wohlbefinden der Menschen, sondern um zukunftsfähige Nachhaltigkeit in weltweitem Maßstab. Das Deutsche Komitee von Earth Day International möchte ein globales Umdenken durch vielfältige Aktionen mit Kindern, Jugendlichen, Studenten und engagierten Menschen aller Generationen fördern.

snom to Donate One Dollar to Earth Day International for Every Phone Purchased Without Additional Power Supply

Protecting the Environment: snom Extends its Green VoIP Initiative

Woburn, Mass. and Berlin, Germany (April 17, 2012) – snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications solutions, announced today that it will no longer be including external power supplies as part of the standard package for its 3xx and 7xx series IP phones, focusing instead on powering phones via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). PoE is ideal for centralized and uninterrupted power supply and easy to implement. To encourage greater environmental awareness, snom will donate one dollar for every IP phone from its 3xx or 7xx series purchased in the nine weeks between April 22 and June 22, 2012. All donations will be made to the environmental initiative “Earth Day International” in Germany.

“Feedback from our customers has revealed that the vast majority use PoE to power their phones,” explains snom’s COO, Dr. Michael Knieling. “This means that many thousands of power supplies have probably been produced and never been used: In our eyes an unnecessary burden on the environment. With the donation to Earth Day International, we are providing our customers with a really easy way to help conserve the environment.” snom’s promotion is another addition to its ‘Green VoIP’ initiative and the low levels of energy consumption which snom IP phones represent. Those who rely on the external power supply unit and are unable to take advantage of the benefits of PoE will of course continue to be able to request them from their distributor or reseller.

Earth Day takes place annually on April 22 in more than 150 countries worldwide. Everyone can be involved, and every day is a day for the environment. Earth Day International’s initiators are not only concerned with the current well-being of humanity but also with future sustainability on a global level.

snom promotrice della tutela ambientale con l’iniziativa „Green VoIP“

Berlino – snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, promuove l’alimentazione dei suoi telefoni della serie 3xx e 7xx attraverso la tecnologia Power over Ethernet (PoE), escludendo da subito l’alimentatore elettrico dalla confezione. Attraverso la tecnologia Power over Ethernet (PoE) è anche possibile integrare gruppi di continuità (UPS) centralizzati per garantire la funzionalità dei telefoni IP. Onde favorire una maggior presa di coscienza ambientale, snom donerà un euro al movimento ambientalista “Earth Day”, rappresentato dal comitato tedesco Earth Day International e.V., per ogni telefono acquistato intenzionalmente senza alimentatore dal 22 aprile al 22 giugno 2012: http://www.snom.com/it/perche-snom/perche-scegliere-i-telefoni-ip-di-snom/snom-green-voip-initiative/

„I sondaggi condotti regolarmente presso i nostri clienti rivelano che già da tempo la maggior parte di essi si avvale dell’alimentazione elettrica via Ethernet“, dichiara il Dr. Michael Knieling, Presidente del CdA e VP Sales & Marketing di snom. “Ciò significa che l’impatto ambientale cagionato dalla produzione delle migliaia di alimentatori che restano inutilizzati può essere evitato. Con questa donazione all’organizzazione Earth Day intendiamo incoraggiare anche i nostri clienti a contribuire alla tutela dell’ambiente con pochi, semplici strumenti”. Supportando “Earth Day International”, snom fa seguito alla propria iniziativa „Green VoIP“ – concretizzatasi nella costante riduzione del consumo elettrico dei telefoni snom. Qualora l’alimentatore esterno fosse comunque necessario, indipendentemente dalla campagna a favore di Earth Day International e da tutti i vantaggi dell’alimentazione PoE, questo accessorio sarà sempre reperibile presso il proprio distributore o rivenditore di fiducia.

La Giornata della Terra si celebra annualmente il 22 aprile in 175 Paesi del mondo. Con lo slogan “pensare globalmente, agire localmente“ il movimento ambientalista Earth Day palesa due cose: chiunque può adoperarsi per l’ambiente e ogni giorno è un buon giorno per farlo. La Giornata della Terra nasce in particolare per favorire da un lato il benessere odierno dell’umanità e per garantire dall’altro la sostenibilità futura dello sviluppo su scala mondiale. Il comitato tedesco dell’organizzazione Earth Day International conduce campagne di sensibilizzazione dell’opinione pubblica con numerose attività che coinvolgono tutte le fasce d’età.

Informazioni su Earth Day International Deutsches Komitee e.V.

Il movimento ambientalista tedesco Earth Day ha dato vita ad un’organizzazione nazionale per la tutela dell’ambiente senza scopo di lucro con sede a Francoforte sul Meno. Lo Earth Day International Deutsches Komitee e.V. fu fondato nel 1994 allo scopo di promuovere e concretizzare quanto indicato nell’Agenda 21 siglata durante il vertice sulla Terra di Rio del 1992 appellandosi a tutti i cittadini: “fate qualcosa per la terra, informatevi sull’ambiente e fate sentire la vostra voce durante la Giornata della Terra”.

Protection de l’environnement : snom étend son initiative « verte » VoIP

Snom donne  1 euro à Earth Day – Jour de la Terre – pour chaque téléphone acheté  sans alimentateur

Bailly, 17 avril 2012 +++ snom technology AG, spécialisée dans le développement de solutions de communication IP haut de gamme, annonce aujourd’hui qu’elle cessera d’inclure l’alimentateur externe dans la confection des téléphones de série 3xx et 7xx, afin de privilégier l’alimentation de ces téléphones à travers Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). PoE est l’idéal pour une alimentation centralisée et continue  et est facile à installer.  Pour favoriser une majeure  sensibilisation à la protection de l’environnement, snom donnera un euro pour chaque téléphone IP de série 3xx ou 7xx vendu au cours des neuf semaines qui s’étendent entre le 22 avril et le 22 juin 2012. Toutes les donations iront à l’initiative environnementale « Earth Day ».

« Une enquête auprès de nos partenaires et de nos clients a révélé que  la grande majorité d’entre eux utilisent PoE pour recharger leurs téléphones », explique Michael Knieling, chef d’exploitation de snom. « Cela signifie que des milliers d’alimentateurs ont été produits et n’ont probablement jamais servi : une charge inutile pour l’environnement. En faisant cette donation à Earth Day, nous fournissons à nos clients un moyen très facile de contribuer à la préservation de l’environnement ». Cette nouvelle initiative  s’ajoute à a campagne « VoIP écologique », représentée entre autre par la faible consommation énergétique qui caractérise les téléphones snom IP. Quant à ceux qui n’ont pas la possibilité de jouir des avantages de PoE et ont donc la nécessité de disposer d’un alimentateur externe, ils peuvent le demander à leur distributeur ou revendeur habituel.

Mark Wiegleb betreut bei snom Spanien und Unified Communications EMEA

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, hat Mark Wiegleb (Jahrgang 1978) als Vertriebsbeauftragten für den spanischen Markt gewonnen. In seiner neuen Funktion berichtet Mark Wiegleb an den Leiter Vertrieb EMEA Rudi Stahl. Zu seinen Hauptaufgaben zählen die Betreuung der Vertriebspartner in Spanien und die Erschließung neuer Vertriebskanäle. Zudem wird Wiegleb den Aufbau einer partnerschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit mit Microsoft und den Enterprise Voice Partnern im EMEA-Raum verantworten, um so den Marktanteil von snom im Bereich Unified Communications zu steigern. Vor seinem Wechsel zu snom war der Diplom-Kaufmann zuletzt als Director Business Development bei TransPerfect, einem weltweit führenden Kommunikationsdienstleister, beschäftigt.

Mark Wiegleb hat Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Wertschöpfungsmanagement und Wirtschaftsinformatik an der Goethe-Universität in Frankfurt am Main studiert. Seine berufliche Laufbahn begann er 2006 als Key Account Manager bei der Jalercom S.A. de C.V., einem mexikanischen Telekommunikationsunternehmen. 2009 wechselte er zu dem ebenfalls in Mexiko ansässigen Telekommunikations- und Netzwerkspezialisten key Business Process Solutions S.A. de C.V., wo er als Business Development Manager beschäftigt war.

„Mark Wiegleb ist ausgewiesener Experte für Unified Communications – ein Markt, den auch snom mit seinen Lync-zertifizierten Telefonen bedient“, erklärt Dr. Michael Knieling, COO und Leiter von Marketing und Vertrieb bei snom. „Dass er den spanischsprachigen Markt aus erster Hand kennt, ist ein weiteres großes Plus. Wir sind sehr zuversichtlich, dass wir mit seiner Unterstützung unsere hervorragende Position am Markt festigen und international ausbauen werden.“

Axiros entwickelt TR-069-interoperable Device-Management-Lösung Hosted AXESS.ACS für snom

Weltweit erste gehostete Device-Management-Komplettlösung für SIP-Anbieter: Kooperation für optimierte SIP-Telefonie vertieft Partnerschaft von Axiros und snom

(PresseBox) Höhenkirchen, 29.03.2012, Axiros, Anbieter von Device-Management-Lösungen, hat seine Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)-Management-Plattform AXESS.ACS in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, der snom technology AG, an die speziellen Anforderungen von SIP-Telefonie angepasst. Mit Hosted AXESS.ACS bringt Axiros die weltweit erste gehostete Device-Management-Komplettlösung für SIP-Anbieter auf den Markt.

Als europäischer Marktführer bei Autokonfigurationslösungen erweitert die Axiros GmbH das Leistungsspektrum ihrer CPE-Management-Plattform AXESS.ACS, die jetzt als vollständig gehostete Device-Management-Plattform erhältlich ist. AXESS.ACS unterstützt alle gängigen TK-Standards, vor allem aber den wichtigen Standard TR-069.

Axiros hat AXESS.ACS darüber hinaus an die speziellen Anforderungen von SIP-Telefonie angepasst: Die neue Entwicklung ist das Resultat einer Partnerschaft mit der snom technology AG aus Berlin, die sich besonders auf Voice-over-IP (VoIP)- Produkte und damit auch auf die SIP-Telefonie spezialisiert hat. Axiros kombiniert für das gemeinsame Projekt sein Unternehmens-Know-how auf dem Gebiet Device-Management mit den Erfahrungen von snom im Umfeld des offenen Standard Session Initiation Protokolls (SIP).

Die Partnerschaft von snom und Axiros ermöglicht damit die weltweit erste gehostete Device-Management-Komplettlösung für SIP-Anbieter. Die Plattform ist komplett TR-069-interoperabel und unterstützt alle relevanten Technical Reports des Broadband Forums. Sie garantiert einen zuverlässigen und skalierbaren Betrieb und erfüllt alle Gerätemanagement-Anforderungen, einschließlich der Zero-Touch-Provisionierung, des Fern-Supports in Echtzeit oder der Überwachung von Leistungskennzahlen (KPI-Monitoring). Ebenso gehören vorkonfigurierte CPE-Packages zum Standard. Der Leistungsumfang kann je nach Bedarf und Größe des Kunden in Anspruch genommen und entsprechend erweitert werden.

Filip Polsakiewicz, Senior Pre-Sales Engineer bei snom, erklärt, welche Vorteile die Kooperation seinem Unternehmen gebracht hat: “Wir vertrauen bereits seit einigen Jahren auf die Expertise von Axiros. Mit der neu entwickelten Hosted-Lösung unseres Partners können wir nun dem Wunsch unserer Kunden nach einer echten “management-out-of-the-box”-Lösung entgegenkommen. Sie schafft darüber hinaus Mehrwert, weil sie neuartige Dienstleistungen ermöglicht.”

Auch Kurt Peterhans, Managing Director Operations bei der Axiros GmbH, betont die Win-Win-Situation dieser Partnerschaft: “Die Vorteile von SIP liegen auf der Hand, doch die fehlende Standardisierung in diesem Bereich bereitet den Anbietern nach wie vor Probleme. Mit unserer neuen Hosted-Lösung haben wir eine echte Servicealternative für den Markt entwickelt.”

Weitere Informationen zu AXESS.ACS stehen auf der Webseite von Axiros zur Verfügung unter www.axiros.com.

snom 870 verbessert Qualität der stationären und ambulanten Pflege

Für den spezifischen Bedarf der Healthcare-Branche haben die snom technology AG, Hersteller und Entwickler von IP-Lösungen, und die Gemtec GmbH, Experte für Sicherheitstechnik, das Pflegedokumentationssystem „WotanEX Social“ entwickelt. Damit kann die Pflegedokumentation direkt über das Patiententelefon am Pflegebett stattfinden. Basis des Systems für die stationäre Pflege bilden das IP-Businesstelefon snom 870 mit integrierter Pflegedokumentations-Software und die Rufmanagement-Lösung „WotanEX“. WotanEX bildet das Bindeglied zwischen dem IP-Telefon und dem sozialwirtschaftlichen Abrechnungssystem. Gleichzeitig übernimmt es das Ruf- und Alarmmanagement in der Einrichtung. So können Pflegedienste ihre Geschäftsprozesse optimieren, die Qualität der Pflege verbessern und die notwendige Dokumentation vereinfachen.

Sämtliche Sicherheits- und Kommunikationsprozesse laufen bei WotanEX Social auf einer zentralen Plattform zusammen. So können Maßnahmen und Arbeitsanweisungen automatisch generiert und sofort auf dem snom 870 dargestellt werden. Zudem lässt sich das System mit Dokumentations- und Abrechnungssystemen integrieren, sodass die Erledigung ereignisgesteuerter und vordefinierter Pflegeleistungen auch gleich über das IP-Telefon dokumentiert werden kann.

Als IP-Telefon bietet das snom 870 pflegebedürftigen Patienten auch ganz praktische Hilfe, weil es sich nicht nur zum Telefonieren eignet, sondern im Notfall auch Alarm schlägt. Fällt etwa der Patient aus dem Bett, löst die in das System integrierte Sturzmatte automatisch Alarm aus. Über das Patiententelefon quittiert die Pflegekraft dann den Alarm, hilft dem Pflegebedürftigen und dokumentiert schließlich die erbrachte Pflegeleistung – wahlweise auch per Rückgriff auf vordefinierte Hilfemaßnahmen, die auf dem snom 870 angezeigt werden. Auch die Erinnerungsfunktion zählt zu den Vorteilen des Systems: Wiederkehrende Aufgaben, wie etwa das regelmäßige Umlagern eines bettlägerigen Patienten, können Pflegekräfte ebenfalls in dem IP-Telefon hinterlegen, sodass sie immer zur entsprechenden Uhrzeit auf die aktuell nötige Pflegeleistung hingewiesen werden.

Die Entwicklung von WotanEX Social gibt auch eine Antwort auf die strengen gesetzlichen Anforderungen, die Alten- und Pflegeheime sowie ambulante Pflegedienste bei ihrer Leistungsdokumentation heute erfüllen müssen: Pflegeplanung, Pflegeleistung, Verordnungen etc. sind heute genau zu dokumentieren. Nur so lassen sich der Gesundheitszustand des Patienten und die Qualität der Pflege im Nachhinein zuverlässig beurteilen. „Insbesondere das gute Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, die leichte Bedienung und die hohe Integrationsfähigkeit des snom Telefons in unser System haben uns schnell überzeugt“, begründet Jan Burschik, Geschäftsführer bei Gemtec, seine Entscheidung für das snom 870.

Diversificare la strategia commerciale si rivela una scelta vincente

A pochi mesi dall’insediamento di Fabio Albanini quale Managing Director di snom technology Italia sono numerose le modifiche apportate alla strategia commerciale del produttore di soluzioni VoIP, che guarda con soddisfazione al primo trimestre 2012.

Milano – Con Fabio Albanini alla guida, la snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, ha diversificato la propria strategia commerciale al fine di garantire un approccio più articolato al mercato nazionale, caratterizzato dalle esigenze più diverse. In particolare snom ha adottato una strategia multilivello basata sulle proprie fasce di prodotto, che si riflette sia sui processi di certificazione dei partner sia sull’organico dell’azienda.

“snom technology è nota per la solidità e la massima interoperabilità dei propri telefoni IP con le più comuni infrastrutture SIP di terze parti”, commenta Albanini, “i nostri telefoni VoIP da tavolo e DECT, come i nostri sistemi di teleconferenza e di paging sono sempre stati punto focale di tutte le nostre attività, ma oggi snom è ben altro”. Con i telefoni IP snom ha accesso a quella fascia di mercato desiderosa di liberarsi dai vincoli di sistemi VoIP proprietari attraverso l’impiego di piattaforme basate sullo standard SIP aperto, tra cui numerosi uffici della pubblica amministrazione e un’ampia compagine di aziende il cui obiettivo è abbattere i costi operativi della propria infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni. Con snom ONE, il centralino IP-PBX sviluppato da snom per offrire il massimo supporto delle funzionalità di cui l’azienda ha dotato negli anni i propri telefoni, snom si è garantita accesso a quella fascia di mercato che chiede soluzioni complete VoIP/SIP di un solo produttore. In tale fascia figurano sia aziende di qualsiasi dimensione, sia noti operatori di telecomunicazioni che hanno adottato l’intera soluzione per la propria clientela (piccole e medie imprese). Il centralino snom ONE gode attualmente di un forte interesse, sono circa duecento le aziende che testano ogni mese la versione gratuita del sistema di telefonia snom per infrastrutture con fino a 10 interni. Con la certificazione Microsoft Lync, snom è infine l’unico vendor al mondo ad offrire telefoni in grado di operare contem-poraneamente sia in ambiente Lync sia in ambiente SIP, una particolarità che ha garantito a snom, negli scorsi mesi, accesso a progetti presso aziende di grandi dimensioni.

Pietro Bertera“La scelta di consolidare la nostra presenza in queste tre fasce di mercato attraverso strumenti ed attività ad hoc, si è rivelata corretta”, conferma Albanini, che guarda ad un primo trimestre 2012 particolarmente soddisfacente. “Le attività volte a sviluppare un approccio di mercato diversificato, trovano un denominatore comune nel processo di certificazione dei partner snom, che – ampliato lo scorso anno con la certificazione di base (snom Certified Technician – SCT) – ora contempla anche certificazioni snom ONE e corsi di formazione sull’interoperabilità con Microsoft Lync”, aggiunge Albanini, che presenta nel contempo il nuovo Technical Support & Training Manager di snom in Italia: Pietro Bertera. Specialista di reti VoIP complesse e distribuite sia proprietarie sia SIP, e sistemista Microsoft, Linux, Oracle, Bertera si occupa per snom della gestione di tutti gli aspetti tecnici legati all’assistenza post-vendita e dell’erogazione dei corsi snom, sempre più visitati. Sono oggi oltre 170 i partner snom certificati sul territorio nazionale.

Woburn, MA (March 21, 2012)snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications solutions, today announced the snom 370 UC edition desktop phone has earned qualification by Microsoft Corp., attaining Qualified for Microsoft Lync status.

The snom 370 UC edition features a large graphical display and PoE (Power over Ethernet) connectivity, as well as 12 programmable function keys and mini-browser for XML applications. It forms part of snom’s growing UC family that also includes the snom 821 UC edition and the snom 300 UC edition, which are both qualified for Lync, as well as the snom UC600, an optimized Lync-only USB endpoint.

“The snom UC portfolio of standards-based IP phones Qualified for Microsoft Lync allows businesses to  enhance workforce productivity and collaboration from the desktop,” said Giovanni Mezgec, general manager for Lync at Microsoft.

The snom UC portfolio gives businesses expanded functionality beyond traditional voice features by adding support for the productivity-enhancing features included in Lync, such as presence, quick dialing from Lync buddy lists and more.

“We are offering Qualified for Lync products with full IP compatibility, which means businesses can invest in snom IP phones with complete confidence that they will work seamlessly in any SIP-based environment,” states Dr. Michael Knieling, snom’s COO. “All of our Qualified for Lync devices have been fully approved and tested by Microsoft with a number of other devices scheduled to complete the qualification process very soon.”

The snom 370 UC edition is the next in an expanding line of Qualified for Lync devices from snom and is debuting in Booth 737 at Enterprise Connect being held March 26-28, 2012 at the Gaylord Palms in Orlando, Florida.

Live dal CeBIT 2012: l’IP-PBX snom ONE si evolve ed integra i dispositivi mobili

Un CeBIT all’insegna dell’integrazione, dagli smartphone ai telefoni IP che operano in ambienti ibridi SIP/Microsoft Lync, snom technology presenta al CeBIT tutte le novità volte a proteggere gli investimenti della clientela nelle sue soluzioni VoIP.

Berlino – La snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP presenta al CeBIT (padiglione 13, Stand C42), la nuova versione del suo IP- PBX snom ONE basato su protocollo SIP. Il pluripremiato IP-PBX presenta numerosi perfezionamenti, tra cui nuove funzioni che favoriscono la mobilità degli impiegati. Gli utenti possono utilizzare il proprio smartphone come un regolare interno, inoltrando eventuali chiamate al cellulare o avviando teleconferenze attraverso il telefonino. snom ONE supporta numerosi client SIP per smartphone, tra cui iPhone e Android, e risulta ancora più intuitivo attraverso la rielaborazione dell’interfaccia grafica web-based.

Ulteriore highlight del CeBIT sono i telefoni della nuova linea 7xx, particolarmente versatili in combinazione con il centralino snom ONE. In particolare, lo snom 760 presenta un minibrowser XML ed un grande display a colori in alta risoluzione con cui è possibile visualizzare un maggior numero di informazioni. La peculiarità dello snom 720 invece è data dai suoi 22 tasti funzione, che consentono di gestire facilmente interi gruppi di lavoro, raggiungibili premendo un semplice pulsante. Su entrambi i telefoni SIP è possibile configurare fino a 12 diversi account. Un sistema di identificazione personale garantisce la massima protezione e sicurezza delle conversazioni.

Con la nuova versione del suo centralino IP-PBX, snom dota il sistema di funzioni specifiche per la mobilità: “molte aziende si confrontano oggi con la necessità di integrare nella propria infrastruttura telefonica device mobili” dichiara il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e Presidente del CdA di snom technology. “Con snom ONE le aziende adottano una soluzione affidabile che facilita tale integrazione, riducendo i costi ed aumentando – nel contempo – la produttività dei commerciali e degli agenti”. Ma non è tutto, snom ha anche perfezionato le funzioni di sicurezza del proprio centralino: con snom ONE gli utenti fruiscono di un’autenticazione “plug & play” dei terminali IP collegati via WAN. Non sarà più necessario inserire alcuna password, il sistema riconosce l’utente in base all’indirizzo MAC del telefono.

Il pioniere del VoIP presenta al CeBIT anche il telefono da tavolo di base snom 300, il telefono professionale snom 370 ed il telefono dirigenziale snom 821, gli unici terminali IP al mondo in grado di operare contemporaneamente su piattaforme SIP e Microsoft Lync, quindi ideali per una migrazione graduale verso Lync, ad impatto zero sull’investimento operato. In occasione del CeBIT snom annuncia che anche per il sistema di teleconferenza snom Meeting Point sono attualmente in corso i test di interoperabilità con Microsoft Lync.

CeBIT 2012: snom erweitert sein Unified Communications-Angebot um das snom 370

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, präsentiert auf der CeBIT (Halle 13, Stand C42) ihr drittes IP-Telefon, dessen Interoperabilität mit dem Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 offiziell bestätigt ist: das snom 370. Aufgrund seines Dual SIP Stacks ist das snom 370 sowohl in reinen Lync-Umgebungen als auch in Mischumgebungen aus Lync sowie beliebigen anderen SIP-basierten Telefonanlagen funktionsfähig – sogar im Parallelbetrieb. Das IP-Desktoptelefon für gehobene Ansprüche verfügt unter anderem über ein schwenkbares, hochauflösendes grafisches Display, einen Minibrowser für XML-Applikationen und zwölf individuell belegbare Funktionstasten. Damit ist es möglich, mit nur einem Tastendruck („One Button“-Funktion) etwa einen Anruf weiterzuleiten oder auf eine Kurzwahl zuzugreifen, anstatt sich hierfür umständlich durch das Telefonmenü klicken zu müssen.

Das snom 370 gehört damit ebenso wie das Basistelefon snom 300 und das Businesstelefon snom 821 zur offiziell durch Microsoft zertifizierten snom UC edition. Die Interoperabilität des snom 300 und des snom 821 mit dem Lync Server hat Microsoft bereits im Herbst 2011 offiziell bestätigt. Außer den Telefonen von snom gibt es in der Kategorie „Qualified for Lync“ derzeit weltweit keine anderen Geräte, die Microsoft umfassend getestet und in sein Compatible Devices Program aufgenommen hat. Die snom Telefone unterstützen Lync-spezifische Unified Communications-Features, wie etwa Präsenzanzeige der Lync-Kontakte. Das snom UC600 als ein rein für Lync optimiertes und entwickeltes IP-Telefon ergänzt die snom UC-Produktpalette.

„snom ist der erste und einzige Anbieter weltweit, dessen Geräte einerseits für Lync qualifiziert sind und andererseits den gewohnten Funktionsumfang eines IP-Telefons bieten“, sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Vorstand von snom. „Unternehmen können also in moderne IP-Telefone investieren und haben gleichzeitig die Gewissheit, dass sie diese nahtlos in jede erdenkliche IP-Umgebung integrieren können. Damit ist ihre Investition absolut sicher.“

Über snom

Die snom technology AG wurde 1996 als Spezialist für VoIP-Telefonie in Berlin gegründet. snom ist der weltweit einzige Anbieter von IP-Telefonen für den Microsoft® Lync™Server 2010, die von Microsoft zur Kategorie der „other compatible IP phones“ gezählt werden – denn diese snom Telefone unterstützen beides: Lync und den offenen SIP-Standard. Zudem hat snom mit dem UC600 auch ein reines „optimized for Lync“-Telefon im Programm. Das Basistelefon snom 300, das snom 370 für gehobene Ansprüche und das Businesstelefon snom 821 als kompatible IP-Telefone wurden von Microsoft für den Einsatz am Lync-Server getestet und offiziell zertifiziert. Der einzigartige Vorteil dieser „qualified for Lync“-Telefone von snom besteht gegenüber „optimized for Lync“-Telefonen darin, dass die snom Geräte dank ihres Dual-Stack-Designs auch in Mischumgebungen aus Lync und beliebigen anderen SIP-basierten IP-PBX funktionsfähig sind. So eignen sie sich ideal für eine sanfte Migration zu Lync und stellen eine sehr zukunftssichere Investition dar. snom Telefone unterstützen zudem viele Anwendungen, die über die reinen Lync-Funktionalitäten hinausgehen – etwa bis zu zwölf verschiedene Accounts auf einem Gerät, individuell belegbare Funktionstasten, Präsenzstatusanzeige, anwenderspezifische Farbdisplay-Anpassungen, WLAN u.v.m. Das snom UC600 ergänzt die UC-Produktpalette von snom als ein rein für Lync optimiertes und entwickeltes IP-Telefon, das sämtliche Lync-spezifischen Funktionen unterstützt.

Alle snom IP-Systeme erfüllen hohe Sicherheitsstandards und eignen sich besonders für den Einsatz im Business-Bereich, für Internet Service Provider, Carrier und OEM-Kunden. Ob VPN-Anbindungen (Virtual Private Network) oder CTI-Lösungen (Computer Telephony Integration) – die Funktionalitäten der IP-Produkte orientieren sich ganz am Bedarf der modernen Kommunikation. Da snom Endgeräte als weltweit erste IP-Telefone den TR-069/TR-111 Standard unterstützen, können Unternehmen und öffentliche Einrichtungen problemlos beliebig viele Nebenstellen einrichten und alle Geräte gleichzeitig und standardisiert konfigurieren. Neben dem Hauptsitz in Berlin hat snom Niederlassungen in Italien, Frankreich, Großbritannien und den USA. Mit seinem Vertriebsnetzwerk ist snom in weltweit mehr als 60 Ländern vertreten.

snom technology amplia la propria gamma di telefoni IP per le Unified Communications con lo snom 370

Dopo lo snom 300 e lo snom 821 anche lo snom 370 viene certificato da Microsoft per l’impiego con il Microsoft Lync Server 2010. A livello mondiale non esistono altri telefoni IP certificati da Microsoft ed inseriti dalla stessa Microsoft nel suo “Compatible Devices Program”. Lo snom 370 opera contemporaneamente con la piattaforma di comunicazione Microsoft Lync e con qualsiasi centralino telefonico basato sullo standard SIP.

Berlino  snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP presenta al CeBIT (padiglione 13, Stand C42) il terzo telefono IP, la cui interoperabilità con il Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 è stata confermata ufficialmente: lo snom 370. Grazie all’integrazione del dual  SIP stack, lo snom 370 opera sia in ambienti esclusivamente basati su Lync, sia in ambienti ibridi, ove la piattaforma Lync convive con centralini telefonici basati sullo standard SIP – supportando quindi l’impiego contemporaneo di entrambe le tipologie di piattaforma. Il telefono IP da tavolo per gli utenti più esigenti, dispone di un display grafico ad alta risoluzione orientabile, di un minibrowser per fruire di applicazioni XML e di dodici tasti funzione liberamente configurabili.     Premendo un semplice tasto (funzione “one button”) è quindi possibile inoltrare una chiamata o mettersi in contatto con un numero configurato per la chiamata rapida, senza doversi confrontare con complessi menu.

snom 370
Lo snom 370 entra quindi a far parte della famiglia di apparati certificati ufficialmente da Microsoft e dotati del firmware snom UC edition, come lo snom 300 e lo snom 821, la cui interoperabilità con il Microsoft Lync Server era già stata confermata ufficialmente da Microsoft lo scorso autunno. Oltre ai terminali snom non esistono al mondo altri telefoni “Qualified for Lync”, testati direttamente da Microsoft ed inseriti dalla stessa Microsoft nel proprio programma “Compatible Devices”. I telefoni snom supportano funzionalità specifiche per la  p iattaforma di Unified Communications Microsoft Lync quali la visualizzazione delle presenze dei contatti Lync. Lo snom UC600, telefono IP sviluppato appositamente per Microsoft Lync, completa il portafoglio di terminali UC di snom.

“snom è il primo produttore al mondo i cui dispositivi sono certificati per l’impiego con Lync da un lato ed offrono dall’altro la nota versatilità di un telefono IP evoluto” conferma il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e Presidente del CdA di snom technology. “Le aziende possono investire in telefoni IP allo stato dell’arte con la certezza che essi si integreranno perfettamente in qualunque  infrastruttura IP, proteggendo quindi il proprio investimento”.

CeBIT 2012: runderneuerte IP-PBX snom ONE integriert jetzt mobile Endgeräte

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, präsentiert auf der CeBIT (Halle 13, Stand C42) die neue Version ihrer SIP-basierten Telefonanlage snom ONE. Die preisgekrönte IP-PBX überzeugt aktuell mit zahlreichen Verbesserungen, etwa im Bereich Mobility. Anwender können mobile Endgeräte jetzt als Erweiterung integrieren und so beispielsweise Anrufe auf das Mobilgerät weiterleiten oder Konferenzschaltungen via Handy einleiten. snom ONE unterstützt verschiedenste mobile SIP-Clients, wie etwa Geräte auf Android-Basis oder das iPhone, und ist aufgrund der neugestalteten Weboberfläche noch benutzerfreundlicher. Ein weiteres snom Highlight auf der CeBIT sind die Geräte der snom 7xxer Reihe, die selbstverständlich in snom ONE integriert werden können. Das snom 760 bietet dank integriertem XML-Minibrowser und hochauflösendem Farbdisplay die Möglichkeit, mehr Informationen größer und übersichtlicher darzustellen. Die Besonderheit des snom 720: über die 22 Funktionstasten des Geräts behält der Anwender ganze Arbeitsgruppen leicht im Blick und kann sie per Tastendruck direkt anrufen. Auf beiden IP-Telefonen lassen sich bis zu zwölf verschiedene Accounts einrichten. Individuelle Nutzer-Authentifizierungen
garantieren höchstmöglichen Schutz am Arbeitsplatz.

Mit der neuen Version seiner IP-PBX geht snom einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung Mobility. „Viele Unternehmen stehen heute vor der Herausforderung, mobile Endgeräte nahtlos in ihre Telefonie-Infrastruktur integrieren zu müssen“, sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand von snom. „Mit snom ONE schaffen Unternehmen einen wichtigen Eckpfeiler in ihrer Kommunikation, und sie können Handys damit einfach, sicher und schnell in das Netzwerk einbinden. Das senkt die Kosten und steigert gleichzeitig die Produktivität des Außendiensts.“ Daneben hat snom auch die Sicherheit seiner Telefonanlage verbessert: snom ONE erlaubt nun eine WAN-basierte Authentifizierung der per Plug & Play angeschlossenen IP-Geräte. Dadurch müssen Anwender kein Passwort mehr eingeben – stattdessen erkennt das System den Nutzer anhand der MAC-Adresse des Telefons.

Zudem präsentiert der VoIP-Pionier auf der CeBIT die weltweit einzigen Telefone für Microsoft Lync, die sowohl Lync als auch den gängigen SIP-Standard unterstützen: das Basistelefon snom 300 und das Businesstelefon snom 821. Dank ihres flexiblen Dual-Stack-Designs sind diese snom Telefone in Mischumgebungen aus Lync und beliebigen anderen SIP-basierten IP-PBX funktionsfähig, auch im Parallelbetrieb. Darum eignen sie sich ideal für eine sanfte Migration zu Lync und bieten eine besonders hohe Investitionssicherheit.
Weitere Telefone wie das snom 370 und das snom MeetingPoint werden derzeit von Microsoft auf ihre Interoperabilität mit Lync getestet.

snom technology annuncia i suoi partner Gold e Platinum per il 2012

Con questi riconoscimenti il produttore teutonico premia sia i volumi realizzati, sia l’eccellenza dei servizi di assistenza tecnica pre e post vendita erogati dai distributori ai clienti snom durante tutto il 2011. L’Italia si posiziona ottimamente: Allnet.Italia riceve il titolo di Partner Platinum per il terzo anno consecutivo, CDC Point invece si riconferma Partner Gold.

Berlino, 12.01.2012 – snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, annuncia oggi i risultati della classifica annuale dei propri distributori in tutto il mondo. Nonostante il 2011 sia stato un anno difficile per il settore IT/TLC in genere, snom ha visto triplicarsi il numero dei distributori che hanno raggiunto l’ambito status di partner Platinum (3 nel 2011, 9 nel 2012), cui fa anche capo un notevole miglioramento delle performance di cinque partner Gold dello scorso anno (15) che sono passati nel 2012 allo status di partner Platinum, riducendo quindi a 10 il numero di Partner Gold presenti nella classifica del 2012.

Anche quest’anno i VAD premiati appartengono alla serie A dei distributori a livello internazionale e anche quest’anno la rete commerciale di snom in Italia si posiziona in modo eccellente nella classifica mondiale con la premiazione di ben due distributori: Allnet.Italia S.r.l., che si è guadagnata il titolo di Partner Platinum per il terzo anno consecutivo, e CDC Point S.p.A., che si riconferma partner Gold.

Le competenze trasmesse al canale attraverso distributori divenuti ormai specialisti delle soluzioni snom, è uno dei fattori chiave del successo mondiale dell’azienda. “Disporre di una rete di partner commerciali affidabili in qualunque continente ove il VoIP abbia preso piede, ci rende molto ottimisti per il futuro” sottolinea il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e Presidente del CdA di snom technology.


Divenendo partner Platinum e Gold i distributori beneficiano di numerosi vantaggi tra cui il supporto nelle attività di marketing congiunte verso il canale, la presenza nei roadshow di snom e campagne commerciali studiate ad hoc, oltre ovviamente al certificato con logo ad esclusivo appannaggio dei partner premiati.

“Lo status di partner Platinum o Gold viene assegnato come riconoscimento del duro lavoro svolto dai nostri partner nella commercializzazione delle nostre soluzioni attraverso i propri canali” spiega Fabio Albanini, Managing Director di snom Italia. “I nostri partner Platinum e Gold hanno ottenuto eccellenti risultati, siamo quindi molto lieti di poter dar loro tale riconoscimento, che non è basato esclusivamente sul fatturato realizzato, bensì considera la straordinaria assistenza fornita alla clientela e l’elevata competenza raggiunta sulle soluzioni snom. Questi distributori sono andati ben oltre la mera vendita.”

snom technology Unveils New Provisioning Solution to Accelerate Enterprise VOIP and Unified Communications Deployments for snom Distributors and Resellers

-     snom Active provides the secure, automatic provisioning, configuration and administration of snom phones when implemented with Microsoft Lync, IP PBX or hosted VoIP solutions – speeding installation and activation and reducing deployment cost and complexity -

Woburn, Mass. (November 2, 2011) – snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications solutions, today introduced snom Active, a new secure and hosted provisioning solution for snom IP phones being deployed as part of an integrated business IP telephony or unified communication (UC) system. snom Active provides snom distributors and certified value-added resellers (VARs) with a free advanced provisioning and management tool for snom phones and endpoints that boosts the speed and efficiency of the deployment process for VARs’ implementing VOIP or UC in the enterprise.

“snom Active gives our channel community a powerful solution for managing their fleet of snom desktop phones for enterprise-scale VoIP or unified communication implementations during the earliest stages of deployment – provisioning and configuration – when speed and efficiency are the most critical success factors,” said Mike Storella, snom COO. “By making the registration and activation process of snom phones faster, simpler and more scalable, snom Active can exponentially improve the implementation process for enterprise VoIP or UC enabling our snom distributors and resellers to grow their top line while reducing their bottom line in the process.”

snom Active provides snom partners with the remote capability for bulk configuration, provisioning and ongoing administration of snom’s SIP endpoints, including live updates of snom software and firmware. As a hosted, web-based service, snom Active offers VARs a highly reliable platform to manage and provision hundreds to thousands of snom phones across multiple distributed sites. snom Active features include:

• Auto provisioning
• Managed snom subdomain
• Guaranteed 99.999% system uptime
• Bulk phone configuration
• Fleet and system-wide management and administration
• “White label” hosting opportunities
• Custom setup (office and end user level profiles)
• Full remote deployability
• Unlimited re-registerability on handsets
• Full HTTPS config traffic
• Managed password protection
• Military-grade security

Seamless UC support

The snom Active hosted provisioning service provides full support of the entire portfolio of snom phones in unified communications environments, including the snom 3xx and snom 8xx series’ of desktop phones, the snom m9 cordless DECT phone, and additional snom endpoints, including the snom Meetingpoint conference phone and the snom PA1 public address system.

Fast and Efficient snom provisioning with Microsoft Lync 2010

snom Active also supports the snom UC line of Microsoft Lync 2010-qualifed snom phones, including the snom 300 UC edition and the snom 821 UC edition, bringing the speed and simplicity of configuration and provisioning to large enterprises deploying snom UC phones with Microsoft Lync. snom Active with Lync also allows for managed password protection, meaning system and IT management do not need to know end-user passwords, which complies with access security protocols in many organizations.

Broad deployment with IP PBX, hosted and managed VoIP business services

For VARs offering hosted, managed or IP PBX communications services with snom endpoints, snom Active offers an easy-to-use management platform with guaranteed uptime and a new level of scaled network visibility and manageability.

By streamlining most provisioning and management functions of a snom IP telephony system, snom Active helps maximize cost efficiencies by eliminating costs associated with support, administration and maintenance. Official snom distributors and certified snom VARs can also qualify to offer hosted “white label” snom Active provisioning service, a customized and branded solution that snom channel partners can offer to their end customers.

The snom Active service is now available free of charge to certified snom resellers and official distributors worldwide.

snom technology si prepara ad un novembre 2011 “on the road”

snom dedica il mese di novembre agli incontri con i propri rivenditori del centro e sud Italia grazie ad un Roadshow organizzato a Roma, in collaborazione con Patton ed Estos, e all’evento OverIP di Roma, dove il produttore di soluzioni VoIP presenterà le numerose novità che ha in serbo.

Milano – Con lo slogan “la soluzione VoIP perfetta” snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, invita i propri partner certificati SCT e SCE ad un evento che vede la partecipazione di alcuni dei suoi più importanti partner tecnologici: Patton, rinomato produttore di gateway VoIP, ed Estos, azienda impegnata nello sviluppo di soluzioni per le Unified Communicatons. “E’ la prima volta che mettiamo a disposizione dei nostri partner un momento di incontro nella Capitale,” commenta Fabio Albanini, Sales Channel Manager di snom Italia. “Lo snom VAR Trophy tenutosi a Milano lo scorso aprile ha confermato il valore del contatto diretto e personale con il canale. Volevamo quindi dare a tutti i nostri partner e soprattutto a quelli geograficamente più distanti, l’opportunità di avvalersi di informazioni esclusive direttamente dai produttori leader nel settore VoIP in Italia”, conferma Albanini.

Presentata da diverse angolazioni, la “soluzione VoIP perfetta” di snom e dei suoi partner tecnologici consta della perfetta integrazione di tecnologie innovative atte a facilitare i processi aziendali e la gestione degli utenti e della clientela, agevolando lo svolgimento delle attività quotidiane. Sono proprio questi gli argomenti che accumunano infatti i tre partner che si presentano insieme per la prima sul territorio nazionale.

Tra gli highlight che attendono i partner certificati di snom, Patton ed Estos il prossimo mercoledì 9 novembre 2011 a Roma, ci sarà la presentazione della linea di telefoni snom dedicati alle UC annunciata di recente e di una nuova gamma di terminali VoIP di snom che sarà lanciata poco prima dell’evento. Inoltre, ai presenti verrà mostrato il valore aggiunto dell’integrazione delle soluzioni snom con i dispositivi Patton e le soluzioni Estos in ambito aziendale, anche grazie alla presentazione di una “storia di successo” da parte di ATS Srl, partner certificato SCE di snom. Infine, al termine della giornata si svolgerà un’estrazione con ricchi premi.

Il 10 novembre invece snom technology esporrà la propria soluzione VoIP completa ad OverIP, evento annuale sulle tecnologie IP con tappa a Roma. “Abbiamo partecipato alla tappa milanese con estrema soddisfazione” commenta Albanini. “Sebbene il nostro modello di vendita sia completamente indiretto, avere un contatto diretto con gli utenti finali ci consente di capire quali siano le reali esigenze del mercato rispetto alla tecnologia VoIP e di supportare al meglio i nostri partner, fornendo loro argomenti vicini alla realtà dell’utente finale” conclude Albanini.

snom UC edition: neues IP-Produkt-Portfolio für Einsatz mit Microsoft Lync

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, hat mit der snom UC edition jetzt eine neue Serie von IP-Desktoptelefonen gelauncht, die sich besonders für die Unified Communications-Umgebung von Microsoft eignet. Die Kompatibilität der snom IP-Telefone mit dem Microsoft Lync Server 2010 hat Microsoft bereits offiziell bestätigt. Zur neuen Lync-kompatiblen Produktlinie gehören das Businesstelefon snom 821 UC edition und das Einsteigermodell snom 300 UC edition. Die beiden Modelle von snom sind die einzigen IP-Desktoptelefone überhaupt, die sowohl mit Microsoft Lync als auch mit anderen SIP-basierten Telefonsystemen integriert werden können. Beide Modelle verwenden die snom UC edition Firmware, die für die Nutzung mit Microsoft Lync 2010 zertifiziert ist. Das derzeit dritte Modell der snom UC edition ist das neue snom UC600, ein USB-Desktoptelefon, das speziell für den Lync Soft-Client entwickelt wurde.

Das snom 821 ist das beliebteste Modell der snom 8xxer Serie und bietet erweitere Funktionen für Business-Anwendungen, wie etwa ein hochauflösendes TFT-Farbdisplay, Präsenzanzeige, Kurzwahl und 1 Gigabit Ethernet-Switch. Mit der Möglichkeit, bis zu zwölf verschiedene SIP- oder auch Lync-Accounts einzurichten, sind die snom 821 UC edition und die snom 300 UC edition die derzeit einzigen Telefone, die in Misch-Umgebungen aus Lync 2010 und SIP sofort und ohne zusätzlichen Gateway einsetzbar sind. Anwender haben dadurch ein Maximum an Flexibilität und Ausfallsicherheit bei ihrer Migration zu Microsoft Lync. Das snom 300 UC edition ist ein kostengünstiges Basistelefon, das wegen seiner multiplen Leitungen sehr ausfallsicher ist und zudem mit programmierbaren Tasten, geringem Stromverbrauch und hervorragender Sprachqualität überzeugt. Das snom UC600 schließlich wird per USB angeschlossen. In Kombination mit Microsoft Lync können Anwender des UC600 ihre Anrufe nicht nur vom Computer aus einleiten und empfangen, sondern auch wie gewohnt über das Telefon und die Tastatur. Der integrierte Lync 2010 Client ermöglicht zudem eine simple Einrichtung und Administration des Endgeräts.

„Unsere Geräte der snom UC edition vereinen außergewöhnliche Features mit einem elegantem Design – bei einem günstigen Preis“, sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Vorstand der snom technology AG. Rudi Stahl, Vice President Sales von snom, ergänzt: „In der neuen snom UC edition findet jedes Unternehmen das passende IP-Telefon, für jeden Bedarf, für jede Branche und für jeden Geldbeutel.“ Auch bei Microsoft freut man sich darüber, dass nun weitere Businesstelefone von snom mit dem Lync Server 2010 kompatibel sind. „snom bietet unseren Geschäftskunden mit der snom UC edition eine große Auswahl an innovativen und hochwertigen Geräten, die sich aufgrund ihres offenen, SIP-basierten Ansatzes sehr gut für den Betrieb mit Microsoft Lync eignen“, erklärt Markus Weisbrod, Produkt Marketing Manager bei der Microsoft Deutschland GmbH.

snom technology annuncia una nuova linea di telefoni IP certificati per Microsoft Lync!

La gamma di terminali snom UC comprende lo snom 821 e lo snom 300 nell’edizione UC, già certificati per l’impiego con Microsoft Lync 2011. snom annuncia inoltre un nuovo telefono, lo snom UC600 USB, ottimizzato per ambienti Microsoft Lync.

Berlino / Milano – snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, annuncia oggi la linea di telefoni UC, la nuova gamma di telefoni da tavolo IP snom sviluppata appositamente per le Unified Communications (UC) e certificata per l’impiego con il Microsoft Lync Server 2010. La nuova linea comprende l’edizione UC dei telefoni snom 821 e snom 300, che sono totalmente interoperabili con il Lync Server 2010 ed attualmente gli unici telefoni sul mercato che offrono la doppia compatibilità con Microsoft Lync e PBX basate sullo standard SIP. L’edizione snom UC include altresì il nuovo snom UC600, un telefono da tavolo USB sviluppato appositamente per interagire con il client Lync.

La gamma di telefoni snom UC è dotata di funzionalità che vanno oltre le caratteristiche inerenti i tipici servizi di telefonia, unendovi le funzioni di produttività integrate in Lync, tra cui la visualizzazione dello stato delle presenze, la composizione rapida di recapiti presenti nell’elenco dei contatti di Lync (sullo snom 821 UC edition) e altre. Sia lo snom 821 UC edition, sia lo snom 300 UC edition vengono forniti con il firmware snom UC edition, qualificato per l’impiego con Lync 2010.

Il lancio della linea snom UC con queste due tipologie di telefoni idonei all’impiego con Microsoft Lync offre alle aziende una maggior flessibilità: i telefoni operano infatti sia in ambienti esclusivamente UC o ibridi (UC / PBX)“, commenta il Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive VP Sales & Marketing di snom technology. “Questi telefoni agevolano in modo significativo la pianificazione dell’economia di scala di aziende che impiegano Microsoft Lync presentando nel contempo funzionalità avanzate, un design elegante ed un rapporto prezzo/prestazioni assolutamente concorrenziale”.

Lo snom UC600

Lo snom UC600 è un telefono professionale USB ottimizzato per l’impiego con Microsoft Lync 2010. Il terminale rappresenta per aziende di qualsiasi dimensione un’opzione funzionale e appetibile per ambienti Lync. In combinazione con Lync, lo snom UC600 consente di avviare e condurre telefonate sia attraverso il PC, sia con cuffie e tastierino numerico tradizionali. L’introduzione dello snom UC600 nell’attuale gamma di telefoni IP ottimizzati completa la gamma di terminali con un’opzione ancora più competitiva.

Impiegando il client Lync 2010 con questo telefono, gli utenti si avvalgono di funzioni particolarmente intuitive e di una notevole semplificazione dell’installazione e della gestione dei terminali.

snom 821 UC edition e snom 300 UC edition – Certificati Microsoft Lync

La gamma di terminali snom UC comprende due telefoni SIP già presenti nel portafoglio di terminali VoIP di snom e qualificati per l’impiego con Microsoft Lync: il telefono da tavolo di fascia alta snom 821 ed il telefono di fascia bassa snom 300. “A fronte del crescente numero di installazioni di Microsoft Lync sia presso le grandi aziende sia nelle PMI, snom mette a disposizione una gamma ottimale di telefoni da tavolo, testati e certificati Lync, in grado di rispondere alle esigenze di aziende di qualsiasi dimensione o settore di mercato. Questa nuova linea rappresenta per i nostri partner commerciali e per i nostri clienti un valore aggiunto in termini di funzionalità, possibilità di scelta e competitività.”

Lo snom 821 è l’apparecchio più popolare della serie di telefoni di fascia alta snom 8xx. Il terminale unisce applicazioni e caratteristiche avanzate per l’impiego professionale: un display a colori TFT in alta risoluzione, la visualizzazione dello stato delle presenze, la ricerca dei contatti nella rubrica aziendale centralizzata, la composizione rapida dei numeri di clienti o partner, uno switch gigabit Ethernet integrato e molto più.

VoIP sur le Campus : plus de flexibilité et de confort, un contrôle des coûts absolu

Face aux structures d´organisation complexes et décentralisées des établissements, les responsables des systèmes informatiques se voient souvent confrontés à de multiples problèmes de fond.

Quand des décisions technologiques doivent être prises, de plus en plus d´établissements scolaires et universitaires, publiques ou privés, optent pour les standards ouverts. Quant à l´infrastructure téléphonique, la tendance est à la Voix sur IP (VoIP). Face aux structures d´organisation complexes et décentralisées des établissements, couplées à des systèmes téléphoniques hérités et fortement hétérogènes, les responsables des systèmes informatiques se voient souvent confrontés à des problèmes de fond : comment réduire les coûts de fonctionnement et les rendre plus prévisibles ? Comment intégrer de nouvelles technologies dans le système téléphonique pour le rendre prêt pour l´avenir ? Comment réduire les coûts du support technique et de la maintenance pour améliorer le contrôle ?

Des réductions de coûts importantes grâce à la VoIP

Comparés aux systèmes fermés traditionnels, les systèmes VoIP comportent de nombreux avantages : ils offrent un retour sur investissement rapide et aident à réduire considérablement les coûts téléphoniques courants. L´exemple de l´Université de Palerme montre l´ampleur des enjeux : depuis toujours chaque faculté de l´Université sicilienne administrait sa propre infrastructure téléphonique de manière autonome. En 2007 ont été dénombrés 50 PRI et des centaines de lignes analogiques. Les coûts de connexion ajoutés aux coûts relatifs aux appels entre les différentes facultés et départements s´élevaient à 700 000 euros rien qu´en 2007.  Ces résultats élevés associés à la hausse continue des coûts affichés par les opérateurs télécoms, ont amenés les responsables de l´Université à réfléchir à une refonte complète de l´infrastructure téléphonique. En juillet 2008, un projet d´harmonisation des infrastructures de réseau et de télécommunication qui concernait plus de 3 200 extensions téléphoniques a été lancé. Les extensions étaient connectées à des IP-PBX basés Asterisk et accédaient à la base centrale des contacts et utilisateurs de l´établissement. Une application comptable a été spécialement conçue pour contrôler le système. Désormais, l´Université de Palerme utilise cinq PRI et 2 700 téléphones IP, du modèle snom 300. Le résultat est impressionnant : les coûts téléphoniques annuels ont pu être réduits à 250 000 euros, ce qui correspond à un tiers des coûts initiaux.

Plus de flexibilité, plus de fonctionnalités, plus de confort

Face au nombre croissant d´utilisateurs et devant la grande complexité impliquée par la mise en place de nouvelles tâches, beaucoup d´établissements scolaires et universitaires utilisent aujourd’hui encore des systèmes téléphoniques qui ne sont pas à la hauteur.

Ce fut le cas de l´Université de Würzburg en Allemagne il y a quelques années : Helmut Celina du centre informatique raconte : « L´ancien système téléphonique n´offrait plus de possibilités d´évolution et il n´y avait aucun port disponible pour de nouveaux employés. » Il était nécessaire de remplacer le système existant par un nouveau système efficace, évolutif, avec un bon rapport qualité-prix. L´objectif était de mettre en place des connexions pour plus de 3 500 postes de téléphone, avec la possibilité d´utiliser plusieurs identités différentes. « C’est l’avantage indéniable des téléphones VoIP, » commente Helmut Celina. « Nous pouvions mettre en place des comptes utilisateurs différents afin de permettre aux employés de gagner en autonomie, géographiquement : l’identification se fait par code d’accès personnalisé sur le poste de téléphone accessible et utilise immédiatement la configuration personnelle de son propre téléphone. »

Une situation similaire se présentait à l´Association des services étudiants (Studentenwerk) de Freiburg en Allemagne : les 400 employés de l´association offrent une large gamme de services sociaux aux 35 000 étudiants de l´Université de Freiburg et huit autres établissements universitaires dans la région. « Nous tenions à choisir une technologie flexible nous permettant de faire évoluer le système de manière modulaire », explique Dieter Ross, directeur financier et informatique. « En aucun cas nous ne voulions renouveler l’utilisation d’un système propriétaire et inflexible tel que notre ancien système téléphonique. » La nouvelle solution VoIP réalisée par l´association comprend désormais un PRI, 30 lignes ISDN et plus de 110 téléphones snom qui, selon le modèle, offre différentes fonctionnalités avancées, telles que l´annuaire intégré, le rappel, la mise en attente, le signal d´occupation, affichage des présences, etc.

De plus, les systèmes téléphoniques VoIP permettent l´utilisation d´applications à valeur ajoutée, comme l´utilisation de systèmes de messageries vocales intégrés et des applications CTI. Le système signale un message vocal par diode LED sur le téléphone, et l´envoie par mail directement à l´utilisateur s´il le désire. Les employés peuvent également consulter leurs messages vocaux à distance, protégé par un PIN. Il est aussi possible de faire un appel à partir d´Outlook grâce à une application CTI à travers une interface TAPI (Telephony Application Programming Interface). Il suffit de cliquer sur un numéro de téléphone dans l´intranet pour effectuer un appel.

Mise en place, support technique et maintenance : en toute facilité

Outre les frais téléphoniques courants, la mise en place, le support technique et la maintenance du système peuvent entrainer des coûts considérables. En règle générale, les systèmes téléphoniques VoIP nécessitent peu de maintenance et de support technique. Ils sont faciles à utiliser et se laissent configurer et administrer de façon centralisée. Grâce à l´interface admin, l´administrateur du système peut lui-même créer des extensions et configurer les paramètres typiques dans le navigateur, tels que le nom, le numéro de téléphone, le niveau d´autorisation et les paramètres de la messagerie vocale. Tout cela peut être fait en interne sans intervention nécessaire de techniciens. De plus, l´administration des extensions et l´installation automatique des logiciels à partir d´un seul point d´administration sont très faciles à réaliser.

Or, en 2010 le Collège militaire de l´état américain Georgia, le « Georgia Military College » a migré son système téléphonique vers une solution de communications unifiées (UC) avec des téléphones snom et Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Ainsi, les coûts des services relatifs à la mise en place, l´ajout et l´échange de téléphones ont pu être divisés par deux à moins de 1 000 dollars par mois. Il suffit de brancher les téléphones et le système les configure automatiquement.

L´université d´Innsbruck en Autriche avec 26 000 étudiants et plus de 4 000 employés a aussi migré vers un système VoIP en 2011. La mise en place de l´IP-PBX et l´échange des 4 500 téléphones par des téléphones IP snom se sont fait progressivement. Les téléphones IP snom ont été préconfigurés et ont été branchés en « plug & play ». Grâce au MAC Adress Scanning et aux services de redirection, l´échange des téléphones s´est fait par configuration « zero touch ». C´était rapide, facile et économique.

Un service client optimal et une accessibilité instantanée grâce à la solution de téléphonie business snom

Dans le cadre d´une refonte du système téléphonique, la société de maintenance informatique, SOLUTION-RESEAU, a choisi la solution « full-IP » de snom.

 

Dans le cadre d´une refonte du système téléphonique, la société de maintenance informatique, formation et dépannage sur place et à distance de Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, SOLUTION-RESEAU (www.SOLUTION-RESEAU.info), a fait appel à YouShare (www.youshare.fr), prestataire de services informatiques et d´hébergement Web spécialisé.

SOLUTION-RESEAU entretient trois agences dans l´Hérault, le Vaucluse et le Gard. Afin de garantir une disponibilité téléphonique maximale et de répondre à la demande de ses clients, le spécialiste de maintenance informatique a souhaité centraliser ses différents numéros de téléphones fixes pour offrir un point d´accès téléphonique unique. Autres exigences : les employés de SOLUTION-RESEAU souhaitaient téléphoner entre agences, sans frais supplémentaires, bénéficier d’une qualité d´écoute optimale, de coûts d´installation réduits et d’un système très souple et évolutif.

Ilios Greiner, dirigeant de SOLUTION-RESEAU, déclare : « Si le système d´information chez un client tombe en panne, c´est la disponibilité et l´accessibilité de nos techniciens ainsi que la rapidité et la qualité de notre service qui comptent. Il nous fallait donc un système téléphonique fiable, facile à utiliser et évolutif. »

SOLUTION-RESEAU a choisi l´IP-PABX snom ONE, limité à 10 extensions, et des téléphones IP snom (modèles snom 870) pour équiper ses trois agences. snom ONE offre toutes les fonctionnalités clés d´un système de communication moderne : interface web sécurisée pour l’administrateur et l’utilisateur (journal d’appels, messagerie vocale, gestion du pont de conférence personnel…), fonction DISA, IVR, groupe d’appels, files d’attente, intégration du GSM dans les extensions ou mini-SBC.

La mise en place du nouveau système téléphonique s’est avérée très rapide. En une  journée, l’ensemble des téléphones, l´IP-PABX et les liaisons VPN entre les différents sites ont été montés et testés. Les téléphones ont été branchés directement en PoE (Power over Ethernet) afin d’augmenter la facilité d’utilisation.

« Nous étions ravis de la rapidité et la facilité de l´installation du nouveau système téléphonique snom », ajoute M. Greiner. « Désormais nous sommes en mesure de contrôler notre facturation téléphonique, tout en bénéficiant des avantages de la téléphonie IP ».

Dans une prochaine étape, SOLUTION-RESEAU souhaite augmenter le nombre de postes IP ainsi que la mise en place d´un serveur vocal interactif (SVI).

Comment sécuriser la communication contre les dangers cachés de la téléphonie IP ?

Afin de protéger leurs systèmes téléphoniques IP, les entreprises doivent identifier les vulnérabilités de leur système, comprendre comment il peut être exploité et quels mesures prendre pour le sécuriser.

La sécurité informatique reste la plus grande préoccupation de la majorité des entreprises. Des exemples de grandes entreprises « hackées » ou de fuites de données sensibles continuent à faire la Une des médias, provoquant des dommages importants à la réputation des entreprises, voire des poursuites judiciaires. Beaucoup d´entreprises prennent des mesures pour sécuriser davantage leurs systèmes informatiques. Par contre, ce n´est que rarement le cas pour leurs réseaux téléphoniques IP. Pourtant, l’exploitation d’un système IP PABX est aussi vulnérable qu´un réseau informatique, et aujourd’hui encore la majorité des entreprises ignorent totalement l´existence de ce risque !

Comme le système téléphonique IP doit être connecté à Internet, la porte est grande ouverte à l’accès IP PABX. Bien que les systèmes téléphoniques VoIP offrent de nombreux avantages par rapport à la téléphonie fixe (p.ex. des fonctionnalités avancées d´appels et flexibilité), ce sont précisément ces atouts qui peuvent être utilisés contre. Afin de protéger leurs systèmes téléphoniques IP, les entreprises doivent identifier les vulnérabilités de leur système, comprendre comment il peut être exploité et quels mesures prendre pour le sécuriser.

Détourner votre système IP PABX, pour nuire

Afin d´accéder au système téléphonique, les hackers ont besoin du mot de passe qui protège le dispositif ciblé. Pour recevoir ce mot de passe et compromettre un système IP PABX, les hackers identifient d´abord un poste IP dans le réseau et différents mots de passe pour trouver la clé. Cette action semble avoir peu de chance de succès… Pourtant beaucoup d´utilisateurs ne changent pas toujours leurs mots de passe et gardent les paramètres par défaut. De plus, les hackers peuvent envoyer des milliers de mots de passe en quelques minutes. Dans beaucoup de cas ils devinent rapidement le bon mot de passe et l´identifiant pour accéder à l´IP PABX.

Dès qu´un hacker est entré dans le système, il existe de nombreuses possibilités de perturber le réseau téléphonique IP. Cela peut également entraîner de graves dommages financiers pour l´entreprise.

L´attaque la plus courante, et en fait la plus nocive, est quand les criminels professionnels joignent un centre d´appels entier à la connexion réseau compromise : en peu de temps, des milliers d´appels seront routés par cette même connexion. En fonction du routage d´appels par l´IP PABX et de la fréquence à laquelle les factures téléphoniques sont envoyées à l´entreprise, cette activité peut perdurer pendant des mois sans être découverte, entraînant des coûts téléphoniques astronomiques.

Autres faiblesses potentielles d´un système IP sont les mots de passe faibles et un manque de décryptage dans l´infrastructure IP PABX. Par exemple : grâce à la nature informatisée de la téléphonie IP, il est beaucoup plus facile d´enregistrer des appels en secret qu´avec des téléphones fixes. Plutôt que d’installer un dispositif matériel, les appels peuvent simplement être enregistrés en utilisant un logiciel adapté. Souvent, ce danger vient d´un employé à l´intérieur de l´organisation. La protection est alors d’autant plus difficile. Avec un protocole VoIP non-crypté, il n´existe aucune barrière pour empêcher un enregistrement d´appels non-autorisé. Des personnes extérieures à l´organisation peuvent également enregistrer des appels après avoir infiltré un cheval de Troie comme outil d´enregistrement.

Que faire pour sécuriser la téléphonie IP ?

Il existe plusieurs moyens pour les entreprises de sécuriser leur système IP PABX. Les administrateurs doivent d’abord surveiller de près leurs systèmes afin d´identifier les premiers signes d´une tentative d´intrusion et ainsi agir immédiatement, dès le départ.

Comme souligné précédemment l´utilisation de mots de passe faibles permettent aux hackers de facilement s´infiltrer dans le système. C’est une des principales raisons d’attaque d’un système IP PABX. Souvent, les employés ne changent pas leur mot de passe mais gardent leur « mot de passe par défaut » ou « admin », ou alors ils le changent en un mot simple à mémoriser, comme par exemple le nom de la société.

L´inclusion de chiffres et de symboles peut considérablement augmenter la sécurité des mots de passe. Pourtant, la majorité d´utilisateurs ne veulent pas utiliser des mots de passe compliqués à mémoriser. L´administrateur doit donc relever le défi et s’assurer que les employés utilisent des mots de passe hautement sécurisés.

Chez snom, nous nous sommes rendu compte que le manque de sécurité lié aux mots de passe est un problème majeur pour les entreprises. Par conséquent, nous avons mis en place une mesure de sécurité de mot de passe dans notre IP PABX snom ONE. Les administrateurs ont ainsi la possibilité de fixer un niveau minimal de sécurité pour les mots de passe utilisateurs. Au niveau inférieur, toutes expressions peuvent être utilisées. Au niveau moyen et fort, la protection du mot de passe choisi est calculée en fonction de la combinaison de lettres, chiffres et symboles. Tous les mots de passe qui n´obtiennent pas le score exigé sont rejetés. Grâce à cette mesure, l´administrateur peut s’assurer que tous les employés utilisent des mots de passe forts et fiables. De plus, il peut, en un seul clic, mettre à jour la sécurité de l´infrastructure IP PABX.

Cependant, même avec des mots de passe fiables pour tous les postes dans le réseau IP, les hackers vont continuer à essayer de briser la protection du système. Comme ils envoient des milliers de mots de passe en peu de temps, il y ont de fortes chances de trouver le bon identifiant. Pour les entreprises cela représente un risque bien réel car il est difficile à relever.  Surveiller le système de téléphonie IP et identifier des tentatives d´intrusion illicites en permanence est un investissement en temps considérable. Ainsi snom a mis en place un système d´alerte par email : les administrateurs peuvent fixer une limite pour le nombre de tentatives d´accès échouées par une seule adresse IP. Les adresses qui ont atteint la limite seront bloquées, et une alerte par email sera envoyée à l´administrateur.

En cas d´attaque réussie si les hackers commencent à router des appels non-autorisés au travers du poste IP, il est difficile pour l´administrateur d’en avoir connaissance. Si les utilisateurs légitimes ne s’aperçoivent pas du problème, aucune alerte informe l´administrateur d´une agression. Les hackers ont donc la voie libre pour router des milliers d´appels par ce poste. Et la société ne s´en rend compte que lorsqu´elle reçoit une facture considérable de la part de son fournisseur de service.

Grâce à l´IP PABX snom ONE, le nombre de conversations en simultané par poste IP peut être limité. Il est évident qu´aucun utilisateur peut traiter des milliers d´appels en quelques minutes. La fonctionnalité empêche donc les hackers à router un nombre excessif d´appels à travers un poste compromis. Le danger posé par les fraudeurs peut être atténué davantage en fixant une limite de crédit pour les appels sortants. Il est très facile de déterminer les coûts par appel dans les paramètres de snom ONE et de laisser le système surveiller le nombre total d´appels. Au moment où la limite fixée est atteinte, le système bloque tous les appels sortants.

Changez avant qu’il ne soit trop tard

Dans les années à venir, la téléphonie IP va jouer un rôle de plus en plus important dans l´infrastructure de communication des entreprises. Lentement mais sûrement, la sécurité informatique gagnera du terrain. Mais ce n´est pas encore le cas pour les systèmes de téléphonie IP car souvent, les administrateurs ne se rendent pas compte des risques auxquels ils sont exposés. Les pertes financières liées à une attaque réussie peuvent facilement dépasser l´investissement initial du système IP. Cependant, les mesures à prendre pour protéger le système sont relativement simples et n´impliquent que peu d´investissements matériels et logiciels.

Dès que les bonnes mesures de sécurité ont été mises en place, les administrateurs peuvent considérablement réduire le risque d´une intrusion malveillante par des hackers. Il est évident que le bon IP PABX, comme le snom ONE, peut faciliter ce processus et la transition vers un système sécurisé se fera facilement et sans grand sacrifice.

La « Téléphonie Cloud » en hausse

Que faut-il pour mettre en œuvre la téléphonie cloud au sein d´une entreprise, quelles sont les opportunités et risques pour les PME ?

Dans le monde IT, le « Cloud Computing » est devenu l’un des grands sujets pour les entreprises et pour les PME. Jusqu´alors, les responsables informatiques se sont concentrés à transférer leurs solutions CRM, ERP et CMS, leurs applications e-commerce et médias sociaux vers le cloud.

Depuis quelques temps il est également possible de déployer des applications de téléphonie dans le cloud : on parle d´IP Centrex, de PABX hébergé ou de téléphone virtuel. Il s´agit de mettre à disposition un service PABX virtuel auquel l´utilisateur peut se connecter. Ainsi, pour passer des appels, une entreprise n´a besoin que de terminaux adéquats : des téléphones IP à connecter au réseau de l´entreprise via un câble Ethernet. Les premiers opérateurs télécom comme Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, Mobilkom Austria ou Telefónica O2, ont déjà lancé leurs premières offres commerciales ou sont en train de finaliser leurs projets pilotes.

Que faut-il pour mettre en œuvre la téléphonie cloud au sein de votre entreprise ? Un service Internet rapide et un téléphone IP suffisent !

La téléphonie cloud et les téléphones IP sont basés sur le même standard ouvert SIP. Ainsi, transférer la téléphonie vers le cloud ne nécessite de technique particulière. Une connexion Internet rapide et stable comme une SDSL pour assurer une bande passante pour un téléchargement uniforme, et un téléphone IP standard suffisent. La Deutsche Telekom par exemple a sélectionné le snom 870, un téléphone IP à écran couleur en haute résolution. Quant à Vodafone, l´opérateur offre toute la gamme de produits snom à ses clients.

Une administration basée sur le web

Un PABX virtuel est spécialement conçu pour des entreprises qui possèdent de nombreuses filiales ou beaucoup de personnel en télétravail. Les utilisateurs n´ont pas besoin de matériel supplémentaire : un téléphone VoIP suffit pour utiliser un IP-Centrex. Un PABX virtuel et les services associés sont offerts sur demande, hébergés sur des serveurs dans les grands centres informatiques. En règle générale, les fournisseurs offrent des outils basés Web pour configurer l´IP-Centrex selon les spécifications de l´entreprise. Il est donc très facile de mettre en place un PABX via un navigateur Web, ajouter des postes supplémentaires, faire suivre des appels, télécharger de la musique ou des annonces pour les files d´attente, etc. Et tout cela indépendamment de l´opérateur télécom.

IP-Centrex : flexible, économique et disponible en tous lieux

La téléphonie cloud permet une mise en place, une configuration et une administration conviviales du PABX virtuel via un navigateur Web. Elle offre également d´autres avantages considérables, notamment une très grande flexibilité et une disponibilité en tous lieux. Il est très facile et rapide d´ajouter des postes à un PABX virtuel. L´utilisateur peut mettre en place un poste en connectant simplement son téléphone IP à une interface Ethernet et en activant le service via Internet. Après l´enregistrement initial et l´attribution d´un numéro réseau, l´utilisateur peut se connecter en utilisant ses informations d´accès sur n´importe quel téléphone IP du réseau. Grâce à ce « Hot-Desking » il peut par exemple utiliser son identité téléphonique au sein d’une filiale en Allemagne, en France ou à Hong-Kong. Pour les petites entreprises, ce système est une bonne alternative, puisqu’il permet d’économiser sur la mise en place d’une infrastructure téléphonique propre. Certains fournisseurs ne requièrent pas de charge mensuelle. Les coûts sont exclusivement basés sur le nombre de postes configurés. L’IP-Centrex permet de supprimer les dépenses supplémentaires en matériel, en personnel et en contrats de maintenance. Les petites entreprises peuvent donc déployer des applications métiers innovantes sans investir de grandes sommes au préalable. De l´autre côté, les grandes entreprises trouvent souvent plus économique d´exploiter leur propre PABX parce que le retour sur investissement de l´infrastructure technique est plus rapide.

Fonctionnalités innovatrices : quelle différence !

Grâce à la technologie IP-Centrex, les utilisateurs bénéficient d´une large gamme de fonctionnalités qui dépassent celles des PABX classiques. En général, les fournisseurs offrent une interface utilisateur avec des canaux de communication intégrés tels que la téléphonie, les SMS, le mail et la messagerie instantanée. Les fonctions de base d´un PABX virtuel comprennent le double appel, le transfert d´appel vers un autre poste ou un téléphone mobile, la signalisation de présence, l’appel en attente et l’intégration de fax. Il est également possible d´accéder au répertoire et au système mail de l´entreprise. Pour les employés mobiles, il est possible de faire sonner en parallèle le téléphone IP fixe et le téléphone portable – ce, malgré l’occupation de la ligne. Un système ERP peut être intégré afin que le client qui appelle soit identifié : l´écran du téléphone IP affiche toutes les informations utiles, y compris les dernières actions enregistrées (commandes, achats ou plaintes).

Interface utilisateur personnalisée et mini-navigateur XML

Depuis quelques temps, un nombre d´équipementiers de téléphones IP se sont concentrés sur les besoins spécifiques de la téléphonie cloud afin de les optimiser pour ces applications. Ces téléphones sont très bien adaptés aux services proposés par les différents fournisseurs et intègrent de nombreuses fonctionnalités utiles. Ainsi un téléphone entièrement compatible avec le serveur du fournisseur permet d’afficher la présence d´un interlocuteur. Les téléphones snom assurent la personnalisation de l´interface afin de répondre aux besoins de chaque utilisateur. Il est également possible d´intégrer un mini-navigateur XML pour afficher des photos, du texte et des listes d´appels, pour contrôler les LED ou modifier les paramètres. Ici, l’aspect psychologique compte énormément : contrairement à un « softphone » qui est un logiciel permettant de téléphoner sur Internet, un téléphone IP disponible physiquement sur le bureau crée une situation plus familière pour la majorité des utilisateurs.

Cadre légal : encore des progrès à faire.

Bien que les bénéfices de la téléphonie cloud semblent être impressionnants, plusieurs limitations sont à considérer avant de l’utiliser. Aujourd´hui les fournisseurs Internet garantissent 99,9 % de disponibilité du réseau et offrent des applications de téléphonie redondantes. Pourtant, les pannes Internet existent et peuvent occasionner un arrêt de fonctionnement du service téléphonique.

Avec la téléphonie cloud les entreprises sauvegardent leurs données critiques à l´extérieur de la société. De nombreux pays n´appliquent toujours pas de droits quant à la protection des données. Ainsi, les données critiques d´une entreprise française sauvegardées sur un serveur à l’extérieur du territoire, met en danger le contrôle sur la sécurité de ses données. Il se peut que le répertoire entier d´adresses d´une société soit répertorié dans le cloud. Dans certains cas, les entreprises doivent ouvrir leurs systèmes informatiques au monde extérieur afin d´intégrer un IP-Centrex dans l´environnement IT existant. Le fournisseur assure la protection des serveurs contre les attaques externes, prévient des vols de données ou des interceptions d´appels. Pour les appels d´urgence, des améliorations techniques sont encore à mettre en place. La position géographique de la personne devrait automatiquement être envoyée aux pompiers ou à la police en cas d´accident. Malheureusement, aujourd´hui, seul le nom de la société ou du réseau ainsi que l´adresse IP peuvent être transmis – sans mention de l´endroit où se trouve la personne en danger.

Perspectives

C´est aux gouvernements de définir clairement le cadre légal d’un Cloud Computing sécurisé. Dès que les dispositions réglementaires légales seront en place, le Cloud Computing peut profondément et durablement altérer le marché IT. Des services informatiques classiques, comme des programmes de licences en volume, ont jusque-là freiné les entreprises dans le déploiement de logiciels compte tenu des coûts élevés à encourir.

Le Cloud Computing ne requiert pas d’investissement en licences de matériel et de logiciels. Les services nécessaires sont déployés à la demande et les petites entreprises qui ont peu de ressources pour opérer leur propre système peuvent bénéficier des applications métiers avancées, donc de l’IP-Centrex. Un PABX virtuel est convivial à utiliser. Il permet une grande flexibilité et offre une large gamme de fonctionnalités utiles. La téléphonie cloud offre des avantages considérables aux PME, qui s’interrogent aujourd’hui sur cette utilisation et qui commencent à ne plus vouloir s’en passer.

Le snom 821 validé pour Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2

Paris, France, le 7 mars 2011 +++ snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP, annonce que son téléphone haut de gamme, le snom 821, a été testé et approuvé par Microsoft comme étant interopérable avec Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2. Il est également en cours de tests sur la plateforme Microsoft Lync 2010. C´est le deuxième téléphone de bureau de snom qui a passé le test de qualification du programme des dispositifs compatibles Microsoft.

Le snom 821 et le snom 300 (déjà qualifié en 2010) vont être présentés lors du CeBIT 2011 du 1 au 5 mars à Hanovre en Allemagne (hall 13, stand C42).

Le snom 821 est le modèle le plus populaire de la série 8xx des téléphones de bureau snom. C’est aussi le premier téléphone snom qui propose un support étendu des fonctionnalités pour Microsoft OCS R2. Elles comprennent la gestion de la présence interopérable avec la liste des contacts, la recherche dans le répertoire téléphonique de l´entreprise, et les possibilités de verrouiller les postes.

Michael Knieling, vice-président exécutive, Marketing et Ventes de snom déclare : « Depuis toujours, nous nous engageons avec force pour rendre tous nos produits les plus interopérables possibles. Avoir reçu la qualification du snom 821 avec Office Communications Server 2007 R2 marque la prochaine étape de l´interopérabilité avec les environnements Microsoft, permettant d’élargir les fonctionnalités de la snom OCS édition. Le snom 821 est le téléphone haut de gamme le plus séduisant, doté d’un écran en couleur et de codecs audio HD. C´est un téléphone parfait pour bénéficier de tous les avantages d´un environnement Microsoft OCS 2007 R2. »

Le grand écran TFT couleur haute définition du snom 821 permet un affichage de présence des interlocuteurs, offre des numéros abrégés et intègre un switch Gigabit Ethernet. Capable de gérer jusqu´à 12 comptes OCS ou SIP, il est le seul téléphone du marché permettant d’opérer de manière simultanée dans un environnement mixte (Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 et SIP). Ce, sur un même téléphone en offrant la flexibilité maximale à l´utilisateur final.

Olivier Gerling, directeur général de snom technology France, ajoute : « Cette qualification de Microsoft est une formidable référence pour nos revendeurs et distributeurs qui ont besoin de téléphones haut de gamme testés avec Microsoft OCS 2007 R2. Le snom 821, avec un switch Gigabit et un écran couleur, offre une interface conviviale. Il est parfaitement conçu pour les entreprises qui déploient des applications UC comme Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 et bientôt Microsoft Lync. »

« Microsoft est heureux de compter snom parmi les nombreux constructeurs de matériel et de solutions progicielles compatibles avec Microsoft Lync 2010  », déclare Bill Verthein, directeur du Product Engineering, Microsoft Lync. « Nos clients bénéficient de l´innovation, du choix et de la valeur que seule une approche ouverte puisse offrir. »

L’Italia? Per snom technology il mercato nr. 1 in Europa!

Nuove nomine, novità sul programma partner, giro d’affari in forte crescita: l’Italia è al terzo posto nel ranking dei fatturati mondiali del vendor e al primo in Europa.

Milano – Tra gli Stati europei “esteri” in cui snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, è presente con una sede commerciale, l’Italia è il mercato più promettente. Queste le conclusioni tratte dal noto produttore berlinese in seguito alla valutazione dei fatturati delle singole filiali. Nel ranking mondiale (inclusa la Centrale) l’Italia si attesta terzo posto e si prepara a dribblare gli Stati Uniti, attualmente al secondo posto, registrando una crescita esponenziale, che vede nel primo trimestre 2011 un raddoppio del giro d’affari della filiale rispetto allo stesso periodo dell’anno fiscale precedente.

“Il riscontro positivo ottenuto sul mercato nazionale ci sprona ad incrementare i nostri sforzi: abbiamo deciso di valorizzare ulteriormente i nostri partner certificati SCE (snom certified engineer) e di facilitare nel contempo l’accesso alle nostre tecnologie attivando un nuovo canale, i partner SCT (snom certified technician)”, commenta Fabio Albanini, Sales Channel Manager di snom. “La scelta di ampliare il nostro programma partner con la certificazione SCT nasce da un’attenta analisi del rapporto tra la potenzialità del mercato VoIP in Italia e l’esigenza dei rivenditori di ottimizzare tempi e costi della formazione del personale tecnico, specie se stanno maturando prime esperienze con i nostri sistemi”. Con il nuovo livello di certificazione snom consente proprio a questa tipologia di aziende di acquisire conoscenze di base sui suoi prodotti e le tecnologie IP, sufficienti per proporre i propri i telefoni e centralini IP in modo competente, effettuare prime installazioni presso la clientela ed avvalersi di un listino dedicato oltre che del supporto tecnico e commerciale del vendor. La certificazione SCT si ottiene superando con successo un corso di formazione in modalità e-learning con conseguente esame, accessibile tramite apposito “welcome kit” acquistabile presso uno dei distributori snom autorizzati. Il kit può essere corredato di un telefono IP snom 821, per consentire allo studente di esercitarsi praticamente.

A fronte di questa nuova apertura sul canale la filiale italiana di snom technology si arricchisce di un nuovo membro: Massimo LUCINI, che annovera una lunga esperienza di Partner ed Account Management presso Siemens, nell’ambito delle tecnologie VoIP e Unified Communications. Nella sua funzione di Account Manager presso snom, Lucini riporta a Fabio ALBANINI e gestisce i rapporti con i VAR interessati ad avviare o consolidare il rapporto commerciale con snom, con particolare attenzione per lo sviluppo del canale SCT. Commentando il suo ingresso in snom Lucini afferma: “sono entusiasta di far parte di questo team ed onorato di poter contribuire attivamente al successo dell’azienda in Italia”.

snom und Patton arbeiten ab sofort weltweit zusammen

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, und der Gateway-Hersteller Patton-Inalp Networks sind eine Partnerschaft eingegangen. Durch die gegenseitige Zertifizierung der Produkte lassen sich die IP-Telefone von snom in Kombination mit Patton Gateways schnell, einfach und sicher installieren. Da viele snom Distributoren auch die Gateways von Patton im Angebot haben, können sie Kunden weltweit VoIP-Gesamtpakete aus einer Hand anbieten: vom IP-Telefonsystem snom ONE über die gesamte Produktpalette der snom IP-Telefone bis hin zu Patton Gateways. Für Anwender ergibt sich aus der Partnerschaft ein weiterer besonderer Mehrwert: Mit den Patton Gateways können sie ihre snom ONE PBX sowohl an das analoge also auch an das ISDN-Telefonnetz anbinden. Die große Auswahl an Schnittstellen erlaubt es zudem, klassische Endgeräte wie ISDN-Telefone, Frankiermaschinen, Modems und Faxgeräte in die VoIP-Umgebung zu integrieren. Zur zuverlässigen Fax-Übertragung unterstützen alle Patton Gateways das T.38 Fax-Protokoll. Da die Produkte von snom und Patton auf Interoperabilität und Zuverlässigkeit umfassend getestet sind, ist höchste Ausfallsicherheit gewährleistet.

„Patton ist seit vielen Jahren auf dem VoIP-Markt absolut etabliert und genießt den weltweiten Ruf, dass seine Gateways in jeder erdenklichen Umgebung stabil arbeiten“, fasst Rudi Stahl, Vice President Sales EMEA der snom technology AG, die Vorzüge von Patton-Inalp zusammen. „Bei der Telefonie handelt es sich um eine für Unternehmen kritische Businessanwendung, und ein Ausfall kann mitunter geschäftsschädigende Auswirkungen haben. Mit der IP-PBX snom ONE, snom Telefonen und einem Patton Gateway erhalten Anwender qualitativ hochwertige Produkte mit Hochverfügbarkeits-Garantie. Schulungen zur Konfiguration der Gateways und der IP-PBX snom ONE, die von snom, Patton-Inalp und den Distributoren angeboten werden, vervollständigen das Angebot.“ Die Anbindung eines IP-Systems an das Festnetz gestaltet sich in einigen Ländern äußerst kompliziert, und die jeweiligen Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten unterscheiden sich je nach Land zum Teil sehr stark. Rudi Stahl resümiert:„Gerade bei komplizierten Voraussetzungen macht es Sinn, auf technisch ausgereifte Produkte wie die von snom und Patton zurückzugreifen. Sie bilden die Basis für funktionierendes Voice-over-IP.“

Da die snom Endgeräte als weltweit erste IP-Telefone den TR-069 / TR-111 Standard unterstützen, können Unternehmen und öffentliche Einrichtungen beliebig viele Nebenstellen ohne Aufwand optimal anpassen und alle Geräte gleichzeitig und standardisiert konfigurieren. Im September 2010 wurde das snom 300 offiziell als erstes SIP-Telefon durch die Firma Microsoft als interoperabel mit dem Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 getestet und qualifiziert.

L’avanzata della telefonia “in the cloud”

Riflessioni sul rapporto tra rischi e benefici dell’adozione di un’infrastruttura di telefonia via cloud in una PMI

Berlino – Il CeBIT 2011 ha palesemente evidenziato che il cloud computing è al momento uno dei temi più caldi del settore informatico, rivelandosi particolarmente interessante per le aziende, tra cui figurano in misura sempre maggiore anche le PMI, che desiderano garantire la massima scalabilità alla propria infrastruttura anche in futuro. Per ora “il cloud” gravita primariamente attorno alla dislocazione su server remoti di soluzioni CRM, ERP e CMS, applicazioni per lo shopping online e social media. Tuttavia le applicazioni per la telefonia sono già da tempo impiegabili attraverso il cloud; in ambito business sono ormai noti termini come “IP Centrex”, “hosted PBX” e “Virtual Phone”. Questo tipo di implementazione implica che un provider / carrier eroghi alla clientela (prevalentemente aziendale) i servizi di un centralino telefonico virtuale ospitato su server remoti. Per effettuare una telefonata, l’utente aziendale necessita quindi esclusivamente di un terminale adeguato – un telefono IP – collegato alla rete via Ethernet. Oltre a numerosi e noti operatori VoIP come Cheapnet o Eutelia, anche i grandi carrier nazionali hanno già lanciato soluzioni VoIP “hosted” per la telefonia aziendale o sono nella fase conclusiva di progetti pilota.

L’OCCORRENTE PER LA TELEFONIA VIA CLOUD? INTERNET VELOCE E UN TELEFONO IP
A livello tecnico avvalersi della telefonia attraverso il cloud è incredibilmente semplice: tutto ciò di cui l’utente ha bisogno è una connessione internet stabile e veloce, idealmente (ma non obbligatoriamente) impiegando una linea DSL simmetrica (SDSL) per avere un’ampiezza di banda uniforme in upload e download, ed un telefono IP. La Deutsche Telekom, ad esempio, integra nella sua offerta VoIP i telefoni IP snom 870, mentre la Vodafone offre la quasi totalità dei terminali snom ai propri clienti. L’impiego di telefoni IP corrispondenti agli standard industriali, come i telefoni snom, è possibile poiché sia il centralino virtuale, sia i telefoni IP non proprietari, sono basati sullo standard SIP aperto, parlano quindi “la stessa lingua”.

AMMINISTRAZIONE WEB-BASED
Un PBX virtuale è particolarmente adatto ad erogare servizi di telefonia in aziende e grandi corporations geograficamente distribuite, con uffici distaccati e operatori mobili. Per avvalersi di sistemi IP Centrex, l’utente non necessita di alcun hardware aggiuntivo oltre ad un telefono VoIP. Il centralino IP virtuale ed i servizi associativi vengono erogati on-demand dai provider che impiegano i server dislocati nelle server farm. Gli operatori mettono generalmente a disposizione della clientela strumenti web-based per consentire alle aziende di personalizzare il proprio IP Centrex a seconda delle proprie esigenze, impiegando quindi esclusivamente il web-browser per la configurazione del centralino. Ciò comporta che l’azienda può impostare nuovi interni, attivare il trasferimento di chiamata e caricare musica di cortesia o annunci da riprodurre durante la messa in attesa, in modo totalmente indipendente dal carrier. Qualora l’azienda offra ai propri impiegati accesso agli strumenti per la configurazione, il singolo utente potrà impostare ad esempio il messaggio della propria segreteria.

IP CENTREX: FLESSIBILE, ECONOMICO e SVINCOLATO DAL LUOGO D’INSTALLAZIONE
La telefonia via cloud presenta molti altri vantaggi oltre al setup ottimizzabile per i singoli utenti e alla configurazione o amministrazione del centralino IP virtuale con il browser web. L’alto grado di flessibilità delle soluzioni e la totale indipendenza dal luogo di installazione ne rappresentano infatti maggiori benefici. Un PBX virtuale può essere esteso in modo rapido e facile. L’utente può impostare un nuovo interno semplicemente collegando un telefono IP ad un’interfaccia ethernet e attivando il servizio attraverso Internet. Una volta completata la registrazione iniziale, l’utente dispone di un recapito telefonico, può loggarsi da qualsiasi telefoni IP sulla rete inserendo i suoi dati. Potrà quindi impiegare indistintamente un telefono nella filiale tedesca, britannica o giapponese (“hot desking”), mantenendo inalterate tutte le impostazioni personali. Un argomento a favore dell’impiego della telefonia via cloud nelle piccole e medie aziende è legato al risparmio di costi in contrapposizione alle spese in cui l’azienda incorrerebbe per installare e mantenere una propria infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni. Alcuni provider non fatturano neanche un canone minimo fisso mensile, il costo è legato esclusivamente al numero di interni configurati; con un IP Centrex decade quindi totalmente la spesa che verrebbe cagionata da hardware, contratti di manutenzione e formazione del personale mettendo anche le aziende più piccole nella condizione di avvalersi di applicazioni business innovative senza dover investire somme improbe. Tale argomento risulta però meno interessante per le grandi corporations, che preferiscono eventualmente installare un proprio centralino PBX, poiché ammortizzano l’investimento in tecnologie per un’infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni in house molto più rapidamente che non nelle piccole aziende.

CARATTERISTICHE INNOVATIVE: CHE DIFFERENZA!
L’impiego di tecnologie IP Centrex da accesso ad un’ampia gamma di funzioni rese disponibili dalla maggior parte dei fornitori, che vanno ben oltre le tradizionali caratteristiche dei sistemi PBX classici. I provider offrono generalmente una interfaccia utente che integra i canali di comunicazione come la telefonia, SMS, e-mail e instant messaging. Le funzioni di base di un PBX virtuale includono, peraltro, la messa in coda e in attesa delle chiamate, il trasferimento e l’inoltro di una chiamata a un telefono interno o al cellulare, la pubblicazione dello stato di presenza, e l’integrazione del fax. Viene garantito altresì l’accesso alla rubrica centralizzata completa della società, indipendentemente dal luogo di lavoro dell’utente e al sistema di posta elettronica. Il maggior beneficio per i dipendenti non vincolati tutto il giorno alla propria scrivania è la possibilità di ricevere le chiamate parallelamente sul telefono IP da tavolo e sul cellulare. Tale “commutazione” è particolarmente pratica, poiché consente di passare dal telefono IP al cellulare anche durante una conversazione. Un ulteriore vantaggio è l’integrazione con l’ERP aziendale: quando un cliente chiama, i dati di contatto vengono visualizzati sul telefono IP insieme ad informazioni rilevanti per l’utente, come le attività recenti, tra cui prenotazioni, ordini, richieste di supporto.

INTERFACCIA UTENTE INDIVIDUALE e MINIBROWSER XML
Alcuni produttori di telefoni IP, ad esempio snom, dedicano da qualche tempo particolare attenzione alle esigenze specifiche della telefonia “in the cloud”, al fine di ottimizzare i propri telefoni per tali applicazioni, onde consentire all’utente di avvalersi dei servizi erogati dai più diversi provider, oltre che delle numerose funzioni utili in ambito aziendale integrate nel terminale stesso. Ne è un esempio la pubblicazione dello stato di presenza, possibile solo se il telefono è pienamente compatibile con il PBX virtuale del provider. Lo stesso dicasi per il corretto monitoraggio della qualità dell’esperienza (QoE). Con i terminali IP snom è possibile altresì personalizzare l’interfaccia utente per soddisfare le esigenze individuali ed alcuni modelli integrano un minibrowser XML per la visualizzazione di immagini, testo, ed elenchi delle chiamate, ed un menu per il controllo dei LED, per la modifica delle impostazioni e per nascondere temporaneamente l’ID della linea chiamante. Un altro fattore importante, da non sottovalutare quando si opta per l’impiego di telefoni IP da tavolo al posto di softphone, è l’impatto psicologico positivo del telefono sulla propria scrivania, che risulta del tutto familiare.

ASPETTI LEGALI: SI PUO’ MIGLIORARE
Anche se i vantaggi della telefonia “in the cloud” sembrano notevoli, vi sono lacune che le imprese devono considerare prima di selezionare questo tipo di infrastruttura. Sebbene i provider garantiscano una continuità del servizio del 99,9% attraverso l’implementazione di applicazioni di telefonia di back-up, un’indisponibilità totale di Internet, e con essa, del servizio di telefonia, è plausibile. Per quanto – ovviamente – remota, tale possibilità sussiste. Naturalmente, è obbligo e responsabilità dei provider proteggere i propri server, per quanto possibile, contro attacchi esterni, prevenendo il furto dei dati e salvaguardando i sistemi contro eventuali abusi da parte di terzi non autorizzati, ma le aziende devono essere pienamente consapevoli, che virtualizzando la propria infrastruttura di telefonia, affidano a terzi i propri dati critici. Non tutti i Paesi hanno emanato leggi sulla protezione dei dati severe come in Germania, con la conseguenza che, non appena i dati aziendali raggiungono una server farm al di fuori della Germania, le aziende perdono il controllo sulla sicurezza dei loro dati. L’intera rubrica aziendale verrebbe trasferita nel cloud, e l’integrazione di un IP Centrex nell’architettura IT esistente presuppone che l’azienda apria i propri sistemi IT, precedentemente chiusi, al mondo esterno. E’ altresì necessario un perfezionamento della tecnologia in materia di chiamata d’emergenza, la posizione geografica del chiamante deve infatti essere inviata automaticamente al Vigili del Fuoco, alla Polizia o al Pronto Soccorso in caso di necessità. Purtroppo attualmente viene trasmesso solo il nome della società o la rete e l’indirizzo IP, non la posizione esatta della persona bisognosa di assistenza.

PROSPETTIVE FUTURE
E’ compito dei governi creare il quadro giuridico necessario per garantire la sicurezza del cloud computing. L’Ufficio federale tedesco per la Sicurezza Informatica (BSI) ha pubblicato nel settembre 2010 un documento dal titolo “BSI: requisiti di sicurezza minimi per i fornitori di cloud computing”, che rappresenta un primo passo nella giusta direzione. Una volta messe in atto le necessarie norme giuridiche, il cloud computing modificherà il mercato IT in maniera duratura. I classici modelli di servizio IT basati su volumi o licenze “corporate” hanno frenato in qualche modo l’impiego di massa dei software a causa dei costi elevati. Il cloud computing è diverso. Poiché i servizi vengono erogati e fatturati a richiesta, senza alcun costo iniziale per appliance e licenze, anche le piccole imprese possono trarre vantaggio da soluzioni avanzate come un IP Centrex, senza dover investire risorse nel mantenimento di una propria infrastruttura. Sembra chiaro che questo è il momento giusto per esplorare le potenzialità della telefonia via cloud, anche nella piccola e media impresa. Se non ora, quando?

Telefonia VoIP con i telefoni IP di snom e soluzioni open source presso l’Università Degli Studi di Palermo

Con i suoi 78 dipartimenti (fino alla fine del 2010) e i quasi 4000 dipendenti, l’Università Degli Studi di Palermo, cui fanno capo anche i Poli Decentrati di Agrigento, Caltanissetta e Trapani, è oggi uno degli Atenei più articolati sul territorio nazionale, dotato di un’infrastruttura di rete e telefonia all’avanguardia, in costante divenire.

ARMONIZZARE L’INFRASTRUTTURA e OTTIMIZZARE I COSTI
Storicamente i Dipartimenti dell’Università Degli Studi di Palermo hanno sempre gestito autonomamente la propria infrastruttura di telefonia. Ciò ha dato luogo, nel tempo, all’impiego di oltre 50 flussi ISDN PRI e BRI e centinaia di linee telefoniche analogiche con i rispettivi canoni per linee, centralini, telefoni e conversazioni, soprattutto inter-dipartimentali, per un costo annuale di € 700.000 fino al 2007. Il lievitare dei costi, associato alle crescenti difficoltà di monitoraggio e manutenzione die sistemi di fonia delle varie strutture, oltre alla scarsa integrabilità di servizi di telefonia moderni atti ad incrementare la reperibilità degli interlocutori, sono stati il punto di partenza di una reimpostazione integrale dell’infrastruttura di telefonia dell’Ateneo.

Il Dr. Tartamella, Responsabile del settore Reti, Hardware e Software del Sistema Informativo di Ateneo (SIA), avviò quindi nel luglio 2008 un progetto di armonizzazione dell’infrastruttura di Rete e Telecomunicazioni, che oggi conta 3200 interni collegati a diversi centralini Asterisk, con accesso al database di ’Ateneo per la gestione di contatti ed utenti, e monitorati attraverso applicazioni di accounting sviluppate ad hoc.

IL PROGETTO
Con il desiderio di porre fine all’autarchia che aveva ormai reso insostenibili i costi operativi della telefonia, il Dr. Tartamella ed il suo team valutarono diverse opzioni, tra cui sistemi VoIP proprietari di noti produttori e centralini Open Source. Dopo aver analizzato i costi d’acquisto, d’implementazione, formazione e manutenzione l’Ateneo scelse la soluzione Open Source, poichè più facilmente adattabile alle esigenze dei singoli dipartimenti e degli uffici amministrativi, più flessibile in termini di scelta dei terminali compatibili e dell’integrazione di telefoni tradizionali, ed in grado di offrire un più veloce ritorno sull’investimento rispetto a sistemi “chiusi”. A luglio 2008 furono installati tre centralini Asterisk tra i flussi primari Telecom e la rete telefonica universitaria, allo scopo di smistare le chiamate sulla rete VoIP o sulla rete tradizionale a seconda del tipo di interno collegato. La prima installazione comportò quindi l’integrazione di 500 telefoni tradizionali ai centralini Asterisk e l’implementazione di 300 telefoni IP da tavolo snom 300. Attualmente si avvalgono del VoIP 31 dipartimenti (a Gennaio 2011 i 78 Dipartimenti sono stati accorpati in 31), 12 facoltà e tutti gli Uffici Amministrativi. L’Ateneo è giunto ad impiegare solo 5 flussi primari e 2700 telefoni IP snom 300, con un calo delle spese annuali per la telefonia ad € 250.000: un successo importante.

I TELEFONI IP SNOM 300
Il Dr. Tartamella ci confida che la scelta a favore dei telefoni IP snom 300 è stata molto rapida. Interfacciandosi con altri Istituti Universitari che avevano optato per il VoIP, i telefoni snom gli furono caldamente raccomandati per la stabilità e l’elevata interoperabilità con i centralini VoIP basati sullo standard aperto SIP. La pletora di funzioni offerte dagli snom 300, in grado di soddisfare anche gli utenti più esigenti, è un ulteriore punto a favore dei telefoni selezionati dall’Ateneo.

In particolare, in combinazione con il centralino Asterisk, i telefoni presentano alcune caratteristiche non fruibili con altrettanta semplicità con i telefoni tradizionali:

  • segreteria telefonica
  • inoltro di chiamata
  • funzione DND (do not disturb)
  • elenco delle chiamate in ingresso e uscita
  • collegamento con la rubrica centralizzata dell’Ateneo
  • tasti per la composizione veloce
  • condivisione dello stesso terminale con altri utenti, ognuno con le proprie credenziali
  • configurazione via web o con auto-provisioning via rete
  • call conference

IL SUPPORTO TECNICO
“Non saprei rispondere a domande sulla qualità dell’assistenza tecnica di snom, perché non ne abbiamo mai avuto bisogno”, commenta il Dr. Tartamella. I telefoni IP da tavolo snom 300 si sono rivelati stabili, flessibili e facilmente integrabili nell’infrastruttura. Oggi il team è in grado di aggiungere nuovi interni VoIP in pochi minuti attraverso la rete impiegando il protocollo TR069 per il provisioning automatico, senza alcuna interruzione nella reperibilità degli altri utenti.

IL FUTURO del VOIP presso l’UNIVERSITA’
Il progetto di “VoIPizzazione” dell’Ateneo è in continua evoluzione. A fronte dei risultati ottenuti migrando il 64% degli utenti, è forte la spinta verso la migrazione completa al VoIP, includendo gli interni ancora non integrati nella nuova infrastruttura ed i Poli Distaccati di Agrigento, Caltanissetta e Trapani.

In particolare si procederà alla migrazione dei Poli Distaccati non appena l’ampiezza di banda erogata dagli operatori in quelle aree geografiche sarà sufficiente per un’implementazione VoIP di indiscutibile qualità, come quella attualmente fruibile a Palermo

Triple Play: quando il telefono soppianta il citofono

Sascha Kruszka, Responsabile dell’infrastruttura IT di snom Technology AG, illustra le numerose possibilità di integrazione tra VoIP e videosorveglianza e  le potenzialità del Triple Play in ambito aziendale. Il telefono IP si fa camaleontico!

Berlino – L’evoluzione delle tecnologie di rete degli scorsi 15 anni ha dato vita a dispositivi in grado di trasportare dati in “wire speed”, condizione imprescindibile e punto di partenza di un progressivo ed attualmente elevato grado di integrazione dei sistemi di condivisione e trasmissione delle informazioni, tra cui anche il traffico “voce”, che ora viene preso in carico dall’infrastruttura di rete come “dato” elaborabile. All’impiego della telefonia VoIP in ambito aziendale come valida alternativa a sistemi di telecomunicazioni tradizionali fa seguito l’integrazione della telefonia con i più moderni sistemi per la gestione dei rapporti con la clientela (CRM) attraverso le note piattaforme di “Unified Communications”. Se da un lato l’impiego delle reti IP per trasportare sia dati sia voce è ormai comune, dall’altro la tecnologia è già passata oltre, rendendo fruibili non solo dati e voce ma anche immagini e/o filmati in tempo reale.

Il potenziale del triple play in azienda
Nel nostro mercato il Triple Play viene inteso per lo più come streaming multimediale. Tale concetto viene difatti impiegato da alcuni carrier per definire la propria offerta di internet (dati), telefonia (voce), e IP-TV (video). Ma la trasmissione di programmi televisivi via internet non è l’unica applicazione possibile del triple play, e anzi, quest’ultimo, se applicato all’infrastruttura aziendale, può avere lo stesso impatto sull’ottimizzazione di costi e risorse che genera l’impiego del VoIP.
Mentre le “videochiamate” con i cellulari di ultima generazione o con sistemi di telefonia internet proprietari così come la visualizzazione di filmati via internet o la visione online di trasmissioni televisive fanno ormai parte del mainstream, l’applicazione del triple play a livello aziendale è ancora allo stato embrionale, eppure questa integrazione comporta numerosi vantaggi in termini di gestione delle informazioni.

Facile integrazione in rete
C’è da chiedersi come mai molte aziende investano oggi fortemente nella creazione di un’infrastruttura di rete e telefonia allo stato dell’arte per poi impiegare sistemi di citofonia di vecchia generazione e un’infrastruttura di videosorveglianza dei locali aziendali, dei parcheggi o degli ingressi totalmente obsoleta. Eppure esistono sistemi di monitoraggio degli accessi moderni, basati sul protocollo IP, in grado di sostituire egregiamente i sistemi di videosorveglianza tradizionali – per altro – costosissimi. I sistemi per il controllo degli accessi integrati in citofoni basati su SIP o gli impianti di videosorveglianza IP sono perfettamente funzionali, non richiedono cablaggio, telecamere, videorecorder o monitor ad hoc aggiuntivi, e si alimentano attraverso la rete (“power over Ethernet”, in breve PoE). Meccanismi di protezione della rete avanzati garantiscono altresì l’immediata esclusione dei terminali IP dalla rete in caso di manomissione.

Non solo riduzione dei costi
I sistemi di videosorveglianza basati su IP trasmettono immagini e voce attraverso la rete aziendale. Il sistema di monitoraggio video si integra facilmente nell’infrastruttura IT esistente e non richiede nessuna linea elettrica, analogica o ISDN aggiuntiva. In questo modo non solo si riduce il costo di implementazione e manutenzione di un’infrastruttura di sicurezza dedicata, ma le aziende possono avvalersi di una maggior flessibilità e scalabilità della soluzione. Ciò che manca alle aziende sinora è la percezione dei vantaggi offerti dai sistemi di sicurezza basati su IP: il valore aggiunto che essi rappresentano per l’utente, al di là del mero risparmio sui costi d’acquisto e operativi.

Il telefono IP? Camaleontico!
I telefoni IP oggi in commercio, come gli snom, possono essere impiegati in ambito aziendale come citofoni o terminali per la videosorveglianza dei locali. A livello tecnico la voce e le immagini vengono trasformate in segnali digitali e trasportati nella rete attraverso lo standard SIP aperto. I telefoni da tavolo IP oggi in commercio, dotati di un display a colori, sono ideali per la videosorveglianza. Non appena suona il campanello, il visitatore viene fotografato, l’immagine viene inviata attraverso la rete al telefono IP e visualizzata sul display. A seconda della configurazione del telefono, l’utente può aprire la porta d’ingresso premendo un semplice tasto del telefono – senza doversi alzare e senza dover interrompere un’eventuale telefonata in corso. I telefoni IP in grado di trasmettere video in streaming possono essere impiegati come videocitofoni, e a differenza degli impianti di videocitofonia tradizionali, l’utente del telefono IP è anche in grado di collegare un eventuale visitatore con un qualsiasi interlocutore all’interno dell’azienda. Se l’interlocutore desiderato non fosse raggiungibile, un collega può prendere la chiamata del visitatore e far entrare l’ospite: il (video)citofono diventa quindi una semplice funzione, perfettamente integrata nell’impianto telefonico VoIP esistente. Con apposite applicazioni è altresì possibile impiegare la foto scattata all’ingresso per la produzione di badge identificativi. L’ospite ottiene quindi le sue credenziali d’accesso ai locali aziendali direttamente alla porta, senza fastidiose attese o noiose registrazioni. Infine i telefoni IP possono registrare elettronicamente le presenze (orari di ingresso ed uscita dei dipendenti). Questi dati vengono poi trasmessi automaticamente al software per l’elaborazione delle buste paga.

Sorveglianza completa di locali, edifici e aree esterne
Con i sistemi video basati su IP, le aziende possono monitorare sia ampi spazi interni sia le aree esterne. Le immagini registrate vengono digitalizzate e trasmesse via rete in tempo reale ad un monitor, oltre che salvate su un server, su un DVD o su un qualsiasi media digitale. Se lo si desidera, le immagini possono essere inviate in streaming anche al telefono VoIP: una funzione particolarmente utile in combinazione con sensori di movimento radar basati su IP, che attivano le videocamere su sollecitazione. Anche in questo caso lo streaming può essere inoltrato a qualsiasi telefono a cascata, a seconda dell’operatore registrato in rete in quel momento. Per una maggior comodità, alcuni telefoni VoIP presentano moduli di espansione, di norma impiegati per avere un maggior numero di tasti funzione, dotati di un ampio display a colori su cui è possibile visualizzare le immagini provenienti dalle videocamere SIP attraverso il browser web integrato. Ovviamente i sensori di movimento possono anche attivare i più disparati sistemi di allarme.

Impiegare le risorse in modo efficiente
I sistemi di sorveglianza basati su IP proteggono le aziende non solo contro l’accesso non autorizzato ai locali dell’edificio o alle aree circostanti, ma sono anche utili nella prevenzione contro eventuali incidenti dovuti ad un carente presidio degli ingressi o di aree particolarmente critiche / affollate. Una cosa è chiara: il Voice-over-IP non è un progresso tecnologico ad esclusivo appannaggio della telefonia ma si rivela utilissimo anche nell’ambito della videosorveglianza. Grazie agli innumerevoli scenari di impiego, la telefonia IP apre infatti a nuove ed eccellenti opportunità di utilizzo efficiente delle risorse esistenti (addetti e infrastrutture).

snom Teams with Telchemy to Provide an Integrated VoIP Performance and Management Capability for Enterprise Network Managers

Universität Innsbruck entscheidet sich für 4.500 IP-Telefone des Typs snom 370

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Lösungen, hat die Universität Innsbruck mit 4.500 IP-Telefonen des Typs snom 370 ausgestattet. Die Universität Innsbruck ist mit rund 26.000 Studierenden und über 4.000 Mitarbeitern die größte Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtung in West-Österreich. Zur Modernisierung der TK-Infrastruktur hat der zentrale Informatikdienst der Innsbrucker Uni jetzt ein campusweites Voice-over-IP-Netz eingerichtet, in dem IP-Telefone des Typs snom 370 als Endgeräte dienen. Der Informatikdienst hat eine sanfte Migration durchgeführt und die neue IP-PBX von Asterisk zunächst parallel zur bestehenden Telefonanlage betrieben. Auch der Austausch der Endgeräte konnte nach und nach erfolgen. Eine Vorab-Konfiguration der snom IP-Telefone, die der österreichische snom-Partner und Distributor medea vorgenommen hat, machte es möglich, jedes der 4.500 snom Telefone einfach per Plug-and-play in Betrieb zu nehmen – reibungslos, schnell und kostengünstig. Durch MAC Adress Scanning und Redirection Service haben medea und snom für eine „Zero-Touch-Konfiguration“ gesorgt – so brauchen die Installateure vor Ort keinerlei technisches Hintergrundwissen, um die alten Telefone gegen die snom 370 auszutauschen.

Beim Informatikdienst der Universität Innsbruck fiel die Wahl auf das snom 370, weil es viele wichtige Schlüssel-Features der IP-Telefonie unterstützt: automatisches Provisioning, Power-over-Ethernet, Open VPN ohne zusätzliche Hardware, individuelle Anpassung der Benutzeroberfläche, LDAP-Anbindung für Telefonbücher, VLAN, SRTP sowie SIP-Verschlüsselung via TLS/SSL. Die Universität Innsbruck gehört zu einer wachsenden Zahl von Einrichtungen aus dem Bildungsbereich, die sich inzwischen für snom IP-Telefone entschieden haben. So kommen beispielsweise auch an der Universität Würzburg schon seit 2009 über 4.500 snom 370 IP-Telefone zum Einsatz. Auch das Georgia Military College im US-Bundesstaat Georgia nutzt die IP-Telefone von snom – in Kombination mit dem Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 sind die snom Telefone dort Bestandteil einer umfassenden Unified Communications Lösung.

snom chiama a raccolta tutti i suoi partner e premia i migliori del 2010

Con l’evento del prossimo 14 aprile, il vendor berlinese propone ai suoi partner certificati il tradizionale incontro annuale per aggiornarli sulle nuove strategie aziendali. Per questa edizione è previsto un finale con gara di kart e premiazione dei migliori partner del 2010

Milano – Per snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, il rapporto con i partner certificati è da sempre una delle chiavi del successo commerciale anche sul territorio italiano. “Le attività finalizzate ad estendere e consolidare la rete di partner certificati snom, svolte direttamente o con l’ausilio dei nostri distributori, ci hanno dato numerose soddisfazioni nel 2010” ci confida Fabio Albanini, Sales Channel Manager di snom per l’Italia. “Sono oggi 90 i partner italiani che hanno ottenuto la certificazione SCE (snom certified engineer), con un incremento del 40% rispetto a fine 2009”. I partner certificati hanno diritto ad un listino con scontistiche riservate e a tutti i servizi dedicati di assistenza tecnica pre e post vendita offerti da snom.

La presenza locale di un team commerciale e tecnico di cui i partner possono avvalersi in qualsiasi momento è stata determinante per raggiungere i risultati ottenuti nel 2010. Tale vicinanza ed il desiderio di mantenere un filo diretto con i propri SCE trovano anche quest’anno la loro massima espressione nell’evento che si terrà il prossimo 14 aprile presso il Royal Garden di Assago (MI).

Oltre ad illustrare i trend e le strategie di mercato che l’azienda intende perseguire anche in luce del recente riposizionamento come provider di soluzioni VoIP complete, l’azienda lancerà in questa occasione il nuovo portale www.snomchannel.it, un sito web al servizio dei partner snom che presenta diverse sezioni dedicate a comunicazioni commerciali, approfondimenti tecnici sui telefoni IP snom e sulla nuovissima soluzione telefonica snom ONE, ma anche dettagli aggiornati sul programma di certificazione SCE e SCT, le ultime news dell’azienda e tutte le informazioni sugli eventi in programma per il team italiano.

Ma non è tutto. A conclusione della prima parte della giornata, snom premierà i tre migliori SCE del 2010, per poi cambiare location e sfidare tutti i partner in una gara di kart presso il Dromokart di Buccinasco (MI), con consegna finale di un trofeo ai vincitori.

L´utilisateur peut prendre des appels depuis son téléphone IP ainsi que depuis son téléphone mobile, sous condition que ce dernier soit intégré dans le réseau.

Le niveau de sécurité via un accès web sécurisé HTTPS est aussi fiable que des appels protégés contre toutes interceptions grâce au cryptage TLS et SRTP. L’IP-PABX possède également des mécanismes avancés de protection contre les attaques de pirates.

Modello più venduto della serie 8xx dei telefoni IP da tavolo di snom, lo snom 821 è il primo telefono qualificatosi per il supporto delle funzioni avanzate del Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2, tra cui la visualizzazione interattiva delle presenze, l’elenco delle chiamate, la capacità di effettuare ricerche all’interno della directory dei contatti aziendale e la possibilità di bloccare il terminale. “Garantire la massima interoperabilità di tutti i nostri prodotti è sempre stata una delle nostre priorità; l’aver ottenuto anche per lo snom 821 la certificazione per l’impiego con il Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 ci proietta nella seconda fase dell’integrazione dei nostri terminali in ambienti Microsoft: aggiungere ulteriori e nuove funzionalità al nostro firmware snom OCS edition“, commenta il Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive VP Sales & Marketing e membro del CdA di snom.  “Con il display a colori e il supporto dei codec audio per la telefonia HD, lo snom 821 è il telefono ideale per avvalersi di tutti i vantaggi offerti da architetture Microsoft OCS 2007 R2”.

Con ben 12 account SIP configurabili, lo snom 821 è il solo telefono sul mercato impiegabile contemporaneamente sia in ambiente Microsoft OCS sia in architetture SIP, offrendo quindi agli utenti la massima flessibilità.

“L’ingresso dello snom 821 nel Microsoft Compatible Device Program come terminale certificato è una importante referenza per rivenditori e distributori che intendono proporre soluzioni avanzate per la telefonia IP professionale, certificate ufficialmente da Microsoft” spiega Mike Storella, COO di snom technology. “Oltre alla connettività gigabit e allo schermo a colori attraverso cui interagire in modo intuitivo con l’interfaccia di gestione, lo snom 821 integra un processore particolarmente veloce, che lo rende il telefono da tavolo IP ideale per le aziende che impiegano soluzioni di Unified Communications come Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 e presto Microsoft Lync.”

“Microsoft è lieta che snom si sia unita alla cerchia di aziende che producono hardware e software compatibili con il Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 e Lync 2010”, afferma Bill Verthein, direttore del Product Engineering, Microsoft Lync. “I nostri clienti beneficiano dell’innovazione, dell’ampia scelta e del valore aggiunto che solo un approccio davvero aperto può offrire”.

Lo snom 821 e lo snom 300, il primo telefono certificato Microsoft, sono esposti al CeBIT 2011, Hannover (DE), Padiglione 13, Stand C42, fino al 5 marzo e saranno presentati a Londra (GB) in occasione di UCEXPO, Stand 717, dall’8 al 9 marzo.

Plug-and-play appliance version of the snom ONE IP PBX solution offers VARs and end users an affordable, full featured IP PBX in a rack-mounted package

London, UK, 1 March 2011 – snom technology, a leading developer of IP phones and IP communications solutions for the enterprise and small business market, announced today the release of snom ONE plus, a new hardware-based version of the company’s award winning snom ONE IP PBX. The combination of snom’s leading business-class IP phones and the snom ONE plus provides a full-featured business-class IP telephony solution for organisations with 5 to 150 extensions, making it one of the most scalable plug-and-play systems on the market.

The snom ONE plus will make its UK debut at stand 717 in the Microsoft Partner Village at UC Expo, being held from 8-9 March at Olympia London.

Built on standards-based SIP technology, the snom ONE plus provides VARs with a plug-and-play hardware appliance for business IP telephony that is pre-installed and configured with snom ONE IP PBX software for easy deployment with snom business IP desktop phones and endpoints, including the snom 3xx series, snom 8xx series, snom m9 DECT phones, and snom MeetingPoint conference phone. For small and medium size businesses (SMBs), the snom ONE plus offers all the advanced IP PBX functionality required for the information driven business of today and tomorrow, including centralised address book, auto attendants, hunt groups, hot desking, shared line emulation and CRM integration. snom’s advanced IP telephony also includes an array of advanced presence and monitoring features, such as remote extension monitoring, agent groups, remote worker support and cell phone twinning.
“The snom ONE plus offers scale and flexibility, ranging from 5 – 150 extensions and offering a wide variety of port and connectivity configurations, that is unheard of in the industry and ensures that growing businesses won’t have to replace their entire telephony system if they grow beyond a certain point or need to change connectivity platforms,” said Jonathan Greenwood, Managing Director at snom UK Ltd. and product manager for the snom ONE plus. “All that at a price point that makes full-feature IP telephony available to SMBs.”
The snom ONE plus comes in two versions: the snom ONE plus yellow, for up to 20 extensions, or the snom ONE plus blue, for up to 150 extensions. Both versions provide the same, full feature set of the snom ONE IP PBX. The snom ONE plus will be available in March of 2011 in the UK through snom’s distributors and value added resellers, and comes with a three-year hardware warranty. The snom ONE plus is priced competitively, and varies depending on final configuration, starting at £1465 (€1725), installed with the snom ONE yellow, to £2732 (€3217) for a snom ONE blue package with 34-port ISDN, 4 FXO and 1 FXS.

A reliable and entirely solid-state appliance, with no moving parts, the snom ONE plus also supports SIP trunk or multi-functional PSTN connectivity, allowing for multiple termination options, including analog, PRI, BRI, T1 and E1, expandable from 4 Port FXO to 16 Ports, from 2 Ports BRI to 6 BRI, or from ISDN to T1/E1.

“The snom One plus offers VARs a total solution for the easy and efficient deployment of IP communications at a pricepoint that provides value for their SMB customers,” said Mike Storella, COO for snom. “By offering a fully integrated system including hardware, full featured IP PBX software and a full suite of IP phones and endpoints, VARs can accelerate installation and focus on building their own businesses.”

Pioggia di riconoscimenti per i partner italiani di snom technology

La strategia commerciale adottata da snom tecnology sul territorio nazionale ha consentito al vendor di premiare due distributori italiani per gli eccellenti risultati raggiunti nel 2010: Allnet.Italia si riconferma Partner Platinum, CDC Spa ottiene il titolo di Partner Gold

Berlino – snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, annuncia i risultati ufficiali della classifica mondiale dei VAD dislocati nei 60 Paesi in cui snom è presente. La classifica vede Allnet.Italia registrare una crescita del fatturato snom del 30% rispetto al 2009 e riconfermare lo status di Partner Platinum per il 2011 insieme a due soli altri distributori in tutto il mondo. Un ulteriore dato particolarmente interessante è l’ingresso della CDC Spa tra i 15 distributori premiati con lo status di Partner Gold. L’azienda ha raddoppiato il fatturato realizzato con le soluzioni VoIP di snom rispetto al 2009.

“A fronte di una globale riduzione del numero di partner che hanno raggiunto i massimi vertici della classifica per il 2010, poter premiare anche quest’anno l’eccellenza di due VAD italiani conferma l’efficacia della strategia commerciale indiretta adottata da snom sul territorio nazionale e l’ancora enorme potenziale del mercato del VoIP in Italia”, commenta Fabio ALBANINI, Sales Channel Manager di snom Italia.

Oltre ai volumi realizzati nell’anno fiscale 2010, i criteri per l’assegnazione dei riconoscimenti Platinum e Gold per i partner snom includono una valutazione della qualità dei servizi di consulenza e assistenza pre- e post-vendita erogati dai distributori ai propri clienti. La competenza ed esperienza dei partner in un settore tanto dinamico quanto il mercato del VoIP è difatti uno dei pilastri portanti del successo internazionale della snom technology AG. “Poter contare su un canale affidabile, soprattutto ora che il VoIP si sta imponendo sempre più velocemente come standard per la telefonia anche in Italia, ci consente di essere fiduciosi per il futuro“, conclude ALBANINI.

Die snom technology AG, ein führender Entwickler von IP-Lösungen, gibt bekannt, dass die Microsoft Corp. das Business-Desktoptelefon snom 821 getestet und seine Kompatibilität mit dem Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 bestätigt hat. Zudem wird derzeit auch die Interoperabilität mit Microsoft Lync 2010 getestet. Damit ist das snom 821 bereits das zweite Desktoptelefon des Berliner IP-Spezialisten, das von Microsoft in sein Compatible Devices Program aufgenommen wurde.

Das snom 821 und auch das schon früher als kompatibel qualifizierte snom 300 präsentiert snom auf den folgenden drei Messen: auf der Enterprise Connect Conference und der Expo in Orlando, Florida, vom 28.

März (Stand 717).Das snom 821 ist das beliebteste Modell der snom 8xxer Serie und das erste snom Telefon mit einer bestätigten umfassenden Funktionsunterstützung für den Microsoft OCS 2007 RS – inklusive dialogfähiger Präsenzanzeige, Anruferliste, optionaler Gerätesperrung und unternehmensweiter Suche im Adressbuch.„Wir haben auf die Interoperabilität unserer Produkte immer besonderen Wert gelegt“, sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Vorstand der snom technology AG. „Entsprechend sind die Integration des snom 821 in den Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 und die neuen Funktionen der snom OCS edition Firmware die nächsten Meilensteine zur vollständigen Kompatibilität unserer Telefone mit Microsoft-Umgebungen. Das snom 821 ist unser populärstes Business-Telefon, und mit seinem großen Farbdisplay und HD Audio Codecs ist es hervorragend dafür geeignet, alle Vorzüge einer Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 Umgebung auszuschöpfen.“Das snom 821 bietet ein hochauflösendes TFT Farb-Display samt Präsenzanzeige, Kurzwahl-Funktion und 1 Gigabit Ethernet Switch. Das snom 821 das einzige Telefon weltweit, das in Mischumgebungen aus Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 und SIP mit bis zu zwölf Benutzer-Accounts funktioniert. Dies bietet dem Anwender ein Maximum an Flexibilität.„Die Qualifizierung durch Microsoft für das Compatible Device Program ist eine großartige Referenz für alle Reseller und Distributoren, die ein modernes Business-Telefon anbieten wollen, das für Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 getestet ist“, erklärt Tim Köhler, Senior Product Manager snom OCS edition von snom. „Mit seinen Funktionalitäten – wie etwa 1 Gigabit Übertragungsgeschwindigkeit und Farb-Display – bietet das snom 821 auch die unverzichtbare Rechenleistung und das Dashboard-Display, wie sie das optimale Desktop-Telefon für diejenigen Unternehmen haben muss, die Unified Communications-Lösung wie Microsoft OCS 2007 R2 und bald auch Microsoft Lync einsetzen wollen.“„Microsoft freut sich darüber, dass snom sich in die schnell wachsende Riege der Unternehmen eingereiht hat, die Hardware- und Software-Produkte anbieten, die mit Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 und Lync 2010 kompatibel sind“, sagt Bill Verthein, Direktor Produktentwicklung Microsoft Lync. „Unsere Kunden profitieren von den Innovationen, der großen Auswahl und den Vorteilen, die nur ein wirklich offener Ansatz ermöglicht.“Über die Produkte von snom und den Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 können sich Interessenten bei ihrem Reseller oder Distributor erkundigen.

Zu den Gold-Distributoren zählen insgesamt 15 Partner, darunter die drei deutschen Großhändler Voipango aus Freiburg, Ernst Granzow aus Leonberg und NT Plus aus Osnabrück.

Con snom ONE plus, presentato in anteprima al CeBIT 2011, l’azienda offre soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP: dal centralino IP-PBX soft- o hardware ai telefoni IP perfettamente integrati nell’infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni

Berlino - snom technology AG, produttore di soluzioni complete per la telefonia IP, presenta in anteprima al CeBIT (padiglione 13, stand C42) il nuovo centralino telefonico snom ONE plus. Dopo aver annunciato lo scorso ottobre il suo primo IP-PBX software, lo specialista per la comunicazione SIP lancia la sua soluzione hardware completa per rack da 19 pollici. Il centralino IP-PBX snom ONE plus, sviluppato ad hoc per creare un’infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni in grado di supportare tutte le funzioni avanzate dei telefoni IP di snom, si basa sullo standard SIP aperto ed è facilmente configurabile attraverso un’interfaccia web particolarmente intuitiva. Con la scheda di rete integrata il centralino è collegabile alla rete fissa tradizionale analogica, ISDN (T1, E1, J1), via PRI o BRI. Fornito con il software IP-PBX snom ONE pre-installato, il dispositivo offre anche numerose funzioni aggiuntive come voice-mail, e-Mail, deviazione di chiamata, monitoraggio delle chiamate e Unified Messaging. In combinazione con i telefoni snom, questo centralino IP-PBX hardware rappresenta una soluzione allo stato dell’arte, affidabile e facile da implementare.

snom ONE plus è disponibile in due versioni: lo snom ONE plus yellow e lo snom ONE plus blue. Come per il software, anche i dispositivi hardware offrono le stesse funzionalità e si differenziano esclusivamente per il numero di interni supportati, da 20 utenti per lo snom ONE plus yellow ad un numero illimitato per lo snom ONE plus blue.

snom ONE plus risponde appieno ai più noti standard industriali e garantisce una qualità vocale ed un’affidabilità operativa eccellente. Montabile a parete o in rack il centralino IP-PBX offre le funzioni tipiche di un centralino telefonico classico abbinate ai noti benefici del VoIP in termini di economicità e flessibilità: l’utente può rispondere alle chiamate in ingresso sia attraverso il suo telefono IP sia attraverso il cellulare, integrato nella rete e può impostare velocemente conferenze telefoniche e code. L’amministratore di sistema accede all’interfaccia del centralino da qualsiasi computer e può integrare nell’impianto il sistema di annunci al pubblico basato su SIP snom PA1, il centralino supporta infatti la funzione di paging. L’accesso protetto al sistema ha luogo attraverso HTTPS – i protocolli di cifratura del traffico voce TLS e SRTP garantiscono telefonate sicure.

snom technology Introduces snom m9 Next Generation Mobile VoIP Phone

-  New IP DECT phone from snom makes North American debut at IT EXPO EAST; provides businesses with  an elegantly designed, feature-rich cordless handset for employees needing high quality audio with office mobility  -

Miami, FL and Woburn, MA (February 2, 2011)snom technology, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications software for the enterprise and small and medium sized business markets, has taken  office mobility a step forward with the launch of the snom m9 DECT phone, a full-function mobile handset for seamless, business-class VoIP.  As the newest member of the snom phone family, the snom m9 will be on display for the first time in the Americas at the IT Expo East 2011 in Miami, FL, February 2-4.

The snom m9 combines snom’s highly-interoperable IP communications firmware with an advanced DECT handset, giving business users an affordable cordless VoIP phone that integrates with all major SIP-based IP PBXs, including snom’s own snom ONE IP PBX. Each snom m9 supports four concurrent calls and the ability to interconnect nine handsets at once, providing a highly-scalable cordless option for small and medium-sized businesses.

“The mobile-carrier world has given us a host of new mobility features that are attractive to users in an office setting but not possible with traditional desktop phone,” said snom COO Mike Storella. “The snom m9 bridges the two, providing the best functionality of the mobile world with the desktop features essential to advanced IP communications.”

The DECT-based snom m9 provides interference free communication by making use of a dedicated DECT frequency band, providing the high stand-by time and superior speech quality demanded by modern users.  As an IP phone, the snom m9 also provides internet application integration, making it a step ahead of traditional WLAN handhelds.

Standard features include hands free mode and calling line identification, as well as typical mobile-phone features such as on-board address book, calendar, calculator and alarm functions. Advanced features include IPv6 support, voice encryption, pre-installed security, and color picture caller ID. The snom m9 is also fully functional in any open standard SIP environment.

“In environments where employees are on the phones for long periods of time, many need the functionality that comes with IP telephony, but also want the ability to get up and move around the office,” said Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing at snom. “This is the ideal phone for any enterprise, SoHo or call center looking for an affordable, fully functioning IP phone not directly tethered to the desktop,”

Like all snom phones, the snom m9 also boasts an elegant design and a highly intuitive interface, featuring an illuminated keypad and TFT color display and menu-driven graphical user interface for easy access to its broad array of advanced phone features.

The extensive educational programme will provide resellers and integrators with best practice guidelines for end users on how to make the transition from traditional telecoms to IP. Resellers who become a certified partner will receive a discount on all snom products as well as direct information on channel events and promotions.

Jonathan Greenwood, Managing Director of snom UK, commented, “Migration to IP is the future as far as the telecom market is concerned and it’s imperative that telecoms and IT resellers are provided with the know-how on how to communicate the benefits of IP to end users effectively. The SCE programme is something that nobody else is offering in the telecoms market and has been carefully designed to deliver valuable, measurable rewards to those who take part in the training scheme.”

snom technology Broadens IP Communications Portfolio With Release of snom ONE IP-PBX

-       New IP telephony system from snom offers VARs a simple, affordable, yet highly scalable full featured IP PBX that is tightly integrated with snom’s desktop IP phone portfolio -

Woburn, Mass, and Berlin, Germany (October 13, 2010) – snom technology, one of the most recognized international names in business IP desktop phones, announced today the release of snom ONE – a new family of IP PBX systems that runs on standard servers. The IP PBX solution is designed with simplicity and affordability in mind, enabling businesses to enjoy the benefits of an advanced IP PBX system while taking full advantage of snom’s award winning suite of IP desktop and wireless DECT phones.

The snom ONE will be immediately available in North America through snom’s distributors and value added resellers and comes in three versions: snom ONE free (downloadable), for up to 10 extensions, snom ONE yellow (for up to 20 extensions) and snom ONE blue (unlimited number of extensions and multi-tenant capabilities up to five companies). All versions offer the full feature set, including hunt and ACD groups, mailbox, auto attendant, conference rooms and paging, and are designed to take full advantage of the hardware features of snom’s suite of desktop phones and endpoints. snom ONE blue also allows up to five separate corporate tenants, supporting multiple organizations to operate using a single IP PBX.

“In the past few years, we have seen an increasing demand for a powerful, yet easy to install and operate IP PBX that takes the full feature set of our endpoints and makes it accessible to the SMB market. Customers want phone systems that just work without having to worry about RFC numbers and interoperability discussions. snom ONE does exactly that,” said Christian Stredicke, founder and CEO of snom. “Using the SIP protocol makes sure that we leverage the large amount of SIP devices and services in the market that make it possible to set up a great enterprise communications system even in smaller deployments.”

The snom ONE integrates seamlessly with snom desktop and DECT phones and features all the functionality of standards-based IP PBX platforms, including simultaneous ringing of desktop and cell phone, multiple extension aliases, centralized address book, hot desking, voice mail, shared line emulation and a web interface for provisioning and management. The snom ONE is compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac environments and is equipped with robust web security through HTTPS and call security through TLS and SRTP. snom ONE supports mixed IPv4/IPv6 LAN and WAN environments and comes with an automatic blacklisting feature that makes it possible to expose public IP addresses.

“This is a great solution for our resellers and distributors, who have been looking for a powerful yet affordable IP PBX for their clients,” said Mike Storella, Director of Business Development for snom. “The snom ONE complements our phones perfectly, adding a crucial element in deploying an IP communications bundle that fits the demands of the SMB space and is scalable as those businesses grow.”

snom au salon IP Convergence 2010

snom présente ses nouveaux produits, le snom ONE, le snom 821 et le snom m9.

Paris, le 12 octobre 2010. Lors du salon IP Convergence du 19 au 21 octobre 2010 à la Porte de Versailles à Paris, snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et de téléphones VoIP, présentera ses nouveaux produits (stand n° J40). Olivier Gerling, directeur général de snom technology France, interviendra également le mercredi 20 octobre de 11h50 à 12h40 (Salle 3) dans le cycle des conférences du salon, au sujet de : « Les PME face à la ToIP : entre dominante conservatrice et besoin de réforme. »

Les nouveautés produits de snom présentées à IP Convergence 2010 :

snom ONE : l´IP-PABX d´entreprise au standard SIP qui supporte toutes les fonctionnalités des téléphones IP snom. Il est disponible en trois versions : snom ONE « free » (limité à 10 extensions et téléchargeable pour test) et les deux versions pour la revente : snom ONE « yellow » (limité à 20 extensions) et snom ONE « blue » (extensions illimitées). Toutes les versions offrent les mêmes fonctionnalités et ne se distinguent que par le nombre d´extensions offertes. Ils fonctionnent aussi bien sous Windows, Linux et MAC OS.

La nouvelle solution IP-PABX logicielle offre toutes les fonctionnalités clés d´un système de communication moderne : p.ex. une interface web sécurisée pour l’administrateur et l’utilisateur (journal d’appels, messagerie vocale, gestion du pont de conférence personnel…), fonction DISA, IVR, groupe d’appels, files d’attente, intégration du GSM dans les extensions ou mini-SBC.

Afin d’optimiser le confort pour chaque utilisateur, les appels entrants peuvent sonner sur les téléphones IP snom ainsi que sur les téléphones mobiles (convergence Fixe/Mobile). Le snom ONE offre également le partage de bureaux (« hot-desking »), la boîte vocale vers le mail, la supervision et le filtrage d´appels, le renvoi d´appels, le statut de présence, etc. Les appels sont aussi sécurisés, via TLS et SRTP. L’accès au réseau téléphonique public se fait par une passerelle standard RTC-SIP ou par des faisceaux SIP. Le snom ONE fonctionne aussi avec d´autres produits, comme le fax par exemple, sous réserve que le produit intègre le protocole SIP. C’est un PABX natif SIP.

snom 821 : un téléphone professionnel haut de gamme avec un écran tactile et un Switch Ethernet Gigabit. Le grand écran couleur haute définition (8,9 cm (3,5”), 320 x 240 pixels) permet un affichage clair des listes d´appels, des répertoires téléphoniques et des informations concernant l´interlocuteur : numéro d’appel, photographie, etc. L´interface utilisateur est intuitive et claire. Le snom 821 est disponible en gris clair et noir.

La technologie Wideband (son HIFI) du combiné capte plus du double du spectre des fréquences d´un combiné normal. La qualité audio du snom 821 est comparable à celle d´une radio FM. De plus, sur haut-parleur, un amplificateur classe D réduit toutes interférences. Le snom 821, équipé d’une clef WLAN, permet une grande indépendance dans le choix du déploiement : Alimentation/PoE ou Ethernet/WLAN sont possibles. Finalement, des fonctions de sécurité, telles que l´intégration VPN, TLS et SRTP, font parties intégrales du snom 821.

snom m9 : le téléphone snom de dernière génération DECT qui associe le confort de la téléphonie sans fil aux avantages et fonctionnalités de la technologie VoIP. C´est le premier téléphone digital sans fil SIP DECT qui intègre les fonctionnalités de base du Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. De plus, le snom m9 intègre le nouveau standard IPv6 ainsi que le SIP stack de snom. Le snom m9 permet une communication sans interférences en utilisant la bande de fréquence dédiée DECT. Avec son design intuitif, le snom m9 est extrêmement facile à utiliser et pratique. Il s´intègre naturellement dans de différents PBX IP basés SIP. Grâce à de nombreuses fonctionnalités (conversations mains libres, identification d´appels entrants avec affichage des noms, numéros et photos de l´interlocuteur) et à des fonctions spécifiques comme le répertoire, le calendrier, la calculatrice et la fonction d´alarme, le snom m9 devient un téléphone VoIP parfaitement mobile et accessible.

snom Vision : le module d´extension des téléphones VoIP professionnels snom de la série 8xx. Il dispose de 3 * 16 touches librement programmables qui peuvent être utilisées pour des numéros abrégés ou pour prendre un appel, pour ne citer que ces fonctionnalités. Son écran en haute définition peut également être utilisé en simultané pour aussi bien gérer la présence de collaborateurs ou encore la surveillance vidéo de salles et bureaux ou pour la diffusion de diaporamas de produits ou de photos de famille. L’écran est également tactile.

La gamma dei prodotti snom si arricchisce con il centralino telefonico IP snom ONE

Una soluzione completa offerta da un unico vendor: snom presenta il suo sistema di telefonia IP.

Berlino, 5 ottobre 2010 – snom technology AG, produttore leader di telefoni VoIP avanzati per imprese e professionisti, annuncia oggi il lancio del suo IP-PBX, snom ONE che, disponibile da subito, rappresenta un’importante evoluzione nella gamma di prodotti SIP di snom.

snom ONE è un sistema di telefonia IP in grado di supportare tutte le funzioni dei telefoni IP di snom. snom ONE è il frutto di intense attività di sviluppo e rigidi test condotti sul campo. Il centralino è disponibile in tre versioni: snom ONE free (che può essere scaricato gratuitamente dal sito e supporta fino a 10 interni), snom ONE yellow (che supporta fino a 20 interni) e snom ONE blue (che supporta un numero illimitato di interni e, per le aziende geograficamente distribuite, la funzione “multi tenant” per gestire fino a 5 diverse sedi aziendali). Tutte le versioni sono dotate delle stesse innovative funzionalità e differiscono esclusivamente per il numero di interni supportato.

Inoltre, tutti i modelli del PBX snom ONE supportano le più importanti funzioni di un moderno centralino telefonico: conferenze, risponditore automatico, inoltro a cascata e chiamate in coda sono solo alcune delle principali caratteristiche di questo centralino.

Per ottimizzare la reperibilità degli utenti, snom ONE permette di inoltrare le chiamate in entrata simultaneamente a qualsiasi telefono IP snom o cellulare, oltre ad offrire un’ampia gamma di funzioni standard per gli interni, come la possibilità di spostare il proprio telefono in qualunque postazione senza bisogno di riconfigurarlo (hot desking), il servizio di invio dei messaggi in segreteria alla casella di posta elettronica (voice to mail), il dettaglio delle chiamate ricevute ed effettuate, il trasferimento di chiamata, il monitoraggio e la gestione dello stato personale dell’utente (libero, occupato, ecc).

Abbinato alla gamma di telefoni IP di snom e al sistema di diffusione di annunci al pubblico snom PA1, snom ONE supporta anche funzioni di paging. Come tutti i prodotti snom, anche snom ONE assicura la riservatezza delle conversazioni telefoniche attraverso i protocolli TLS e SRTP, oltre a supportare il protocollo HTTPS per connessioni web protette.

Infine, snom ONE permette di effettuare chiamate attraverso la rete telefonica pubblica (PSTN) sia utilizzando gateway PSTN standard sia trunk SIP, collegandosi ad un provider di servizi di telefonia, e supporta i fax tramite gateway FXS. Compatibile con applicazioni CSTA per una rapida integrazione con i principali sistemi CRM, snom ONE incrementa altresì la produttività degli utenti.

“In passato alcuni dei nostri clienti hanno sollevato il problema di non poter sfruttare tutte le funzioni chiave offerte dai nostri telefoni a causa del centralino IP-PBX installato che non ne offriva il supporto”, spiega Jonathan Greenwood, snom ONE Product Manager e Direttore Generale della snom UK Ltd. “Con snom ONE i nostri clienti hanno ora due possibilità: installare ed impiegare i nostri telefoni VoIP con qualsiasi centralino IP-PBX basato su SIP oppure accedere ad un sistema di telefonia IP di facile implementazione, sviluppato ad hoc per i nostri telefoni. snom ONE è la nostra risposta alle pressanti richieste di rivenditori e clienti pervenuteci negli anni passati”.

snom rejoint le programme d´interopérabilité pour Microsoft Lync 2010

Le snom 300 officiellement approuvé par Microsoft comme interopérable avec Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2

Berlin, Allemagne et Paris, France, le 23 septembre 2010 +++ snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et de téléphones VoIP, annonce que le snom 300, le téléphone de bureau professionnel SIP le plus largement déployé par la société, a été testé et officiellement approuvé par Microsoft comme interopérable avec Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. La qualification confère au snom 300 la qualité du premier téléphone SIP interopérable avec les environnements du Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

« Microsoft est très content que snom rejoigne le nombre rapidement croissant de constructeurs de matériel et de solutions progicielles compatibles avec Microsoft Lync 2010 », dit Warren Barkley, Directeur du Product Engineering, Microsoft Lync. « Nos clients bénéficient de l´innovation, du choix et de la valeur que seule une approche ouverte puisse offrir. »

Le snom 300 utilise le protocole de standard SIP pour les communications VoIP. snom s’est consacré depuis toujours à ce protocole de standard ouvert. Ainsi, le snom 300 devient aujourd’hui une solution interopérable avec Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 tout en conservant l’ensemble de ses fonctionnalités basées sur le standard SIP.

« Depuis sa création, snom s’engage avec force pour rendre ses produits les plus interopérables possibles », déclare Christian Stredicke, fondateur et PDG de snom technology. « Il était donc évident de tout mettre en œuvre pour intégrer le snom 300 et le logiciel snom avec Office Communications Server 2007 R2 – une des plateformes professionnelles UC qui croît le plus vite au monde. Microsoft a testé le snom 300. C’est pour nous une étape importante et prometteuse et nous sommes heureux de travailler conjointement dans les prochains mois pour accélérer le déploiement de Microsoft OCS dans les entreprises et les environnements professionnels. »

Le snom 300 offre les fonctionnalités de la téléphonie professionnelle : par exemple utilisation en multi-lignes, redondance des comptes de l´utilisateur, la disponibilité de touches programmables pour plusieurs comptes OCS. La consommation d’énergie est faible et la qualité audio bonne – et cela à un prix public attractif.

« La reconnaissance du snom 300 par Microsoft est un excellent point de référence pour nos revendeurs et distributeurs qui sont toujours à la recherche de composants de haute qualité, à un prix accessible, pour accélérer la mise en place des UC dans les environnements professionnels », explique Michael Knieling, vice-président exécutif, Marketing et Ventes, chez snom technology. « Nous espérons continuer à travailler avec tous nos partenaires technologiques, y compris Microsoft, afin de faire des téléphones snom les terminaux les plus efficaces pour les systèmes de téléphonie professionnelle. »

Berlino, 22 settembre 2010 – snom technology AG, produttore di telefoni VoIP avanzati per imprese e professionisti, annuncia oggi che il suo telefono SIP aziendale più diffuso, lo snom 300, ha superato con successo i test di qualificazione di Microsoft Corp (Nasdaq: MSFT) per l’impiego con il Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Tale qualificazione conferma che lo snom 300 è il primo telefono basato sullo standard SIP interoperabile con ambienti Microsoft Office Communication Server.

Lo snom 300 impiega lo standard SIP aperto (Session Initiation Protocol) per le comunicazioni VoIP. L’implementazione di tale protocollo nella tecnologia snom consente al telefono snom 300 di essere compatibile con il Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2, mantenendo al tempo stesso inalterate tutte le sue funzioni basate sullo standard SIP.

“Sin dall’inizio della nostra attività abbiamo puntato sulla massima interoperabilità di tutti i nostri prodotti.

Christian Stredicke, fondatore e CEO di snom technology.

“I test e la qualificazione dello snom 300 da parte di Microsoft rappresentano un primo passo promettente: nei prossimi mesi condurremo attività comuni, volte ad accelerare la diffusione del Microsoft OCS nelle medie e grandi aziende “.

Lo snom 300 è il telefono IP da tavolo aziendale più venduto del produttore berlinese. Oltre alle tradizionali funzioni per la telefonia aziendale, lo snom 300 presenta caratteristiche avanzate come il supporto di più linee, i tasti programmabili, identità per il failover di una linea su una di backup, un basso consumo elettrico, e fornisce una qualità audio superiore ad un prezzo ragionevole.

“Questa certificazione Microsoft è un’ottima referenza per i nostri rivenditori e distributori, costantemente alla ricerca di componenti di elevata qualità a prezzi accessibili, in grado di velocizzare l’adozione delle comunicazioni unificate nelle aziende”, spiega il Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive VP Marketing & Sales di snom tecnology. “Il nostro obiettivo è proseguire il lavoro avviato con tutti i nostri partner tecnologici, tra cui Microsoft, affinchè i telefoni snom diventino i terminali aziendali più efficaci per sistemi di telefonia avanzata”.

“Microsoft è lieta che snom sia entrata nella crescente cerchia di aziende che producono prodotti hardware e software compatibili con Microsoft Lync 2010,” afferma Warren Barkley, Direttore del Product Engineering, Microsoft Lync. “I nostri clienti beneficiano dell’innovazione, della varietà di prodotti e del valore aggiunto, che solo un approccio aperto può garantire.”

The snom 300 is the company’s most widely-deployed IP-based desktop business phone, providing traditional business telephony functions in addition to advanced functionality such as multiple lines, programmable keys, backup failover line identities, low power consumption, maintaining superior voice quality at a reasonable price.

“This product testing with Microsoft is a great reference point for our resellers and distributors who are constantly looking for high-quality, affordable components that can speed the adoption of unified communications in the workplace,” explained Dr. Michael Knieling, executive vice president of marketing and sales, snom technology. “We hope to continue our work with all our technology partners, including Microsoft, to make snom phones the most effective endpoints for advanced business telephony systems.”

snom technology AG Moves US Headquarters to New Facilities in Woburn

New office prepares international IP Phone maker for anticipated rapid growth

Woburn, Mass. (September 15, 2010) – snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprises, has moved its North American headquarters to Woburn, Massachusetts to accommodate the company’s recent, and anticipated, growth. The new facility will become home to 40 percent of snom’s worldwide employees, including sales, support, marketing and product development functions in North and South America.

Well-known as a maker of some of the world’s most heralded IP desktop phones, snom technology has expanded its product line over the past few years to include a broader swath of IP telephony products. At the same time, snom’s seamless integration with leading unified communications  platforms and all SIP based VoIP services from premise based IPPBXs to cloud and hosted VoIP environments, has made the company more than just a maker of phones, but a developer of highly-functional enterprise endpoints for IP communications. The new facility will support that growth in both North and South America.

“With the popularity of our products growing in North and South America, we needed more space to support our sales and operations in the region, but we wanted to stay in the same area as our previous office,” said Dr. Christian Stredicke, founder and CEO of snom technology. “This move is symbolic of our recent successes and marks a significant moment in the growth of snom, not just in the Americas, but as an international player in the IP telephony market.”

Founded in Germany in 1996, snom has become one of the premiere providers of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) desktop phones in the world through a combination of award-winning firmware for high-quality functionality and unique product design. snom’s suite of VoIP phones includes advanced IP phones such as the snom 3xx series, full-color touchscreen desktop phones such as the snom 870, wireless DECT phones such as the m3, and related endpoints, such as the PA1 paging system and the MeetingPoint conference phone. As unified communications systems have proliferated, the advanced technology and open standards in every snom product has proven to be an ideal combination for providing enterprises with cost-effective and feature-rich IP telephony.

snom technology punta sull’interoperabilità

Questo il “Leitmotiv” della presenza di snom al CeBIT insieme a rinomati partner internazionali tra cui VegaStream Italia ed ESTOS.

“Sebbene siano molteplici le esigenze espresse dalla clientela fermatasi al nostro stand, tutte fanno capo alla primaria necessità di una piena convergenza dati/voce/video, per ridurre il costo totale operativo dell’infrastruttura aziendale”, così il Dottor Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e membro del CDA di snom technology commenta la presenza dell’azienda al CeBIT 2010 di Hannover.

Il produttore di telefoni VoIP per l’uso professionale ha mostrato con i propri partner internazionali la versatilità d’impiego dei suoi telefoni con le più disparate soluzioni.

Gli interessati hanno potuto saggiare personalmente l’interoperabilità senza compromessi tra i telefoni snom e le soluzioni per le Unified Communications di ESTOS, i centralini IP PBX open source prodotti da STARFACE, i gateway VoIP di VegaStream ed i videocitofoni IP a colonna della Baudisch Electronic GmbH.

Dall’integrazione con i più avanzati sistemi di Unified Communications alla sicurezza degli edifici, i telefoni snom basati sullo standard SIP aperto si adattano in modo ottimale ai diversi contesti d’uso, non da ultimo il monitoraggio, anche visivo, di interni e/o esterni tramite il collegamento con videocamere IP e la possibilità di impiegare i telefoni VoIP per effettuare annunci al pubblico, particolarmente gradita in studi professionali dotati di sala d’attesa o in corsie ospedaliere.

“Per quanto la spinta alla convergenza e all’abbattimento dei costi della telefonia sia molto forte anche in Italia, gli stessi carrier e, di conseguenza, le aziende hanno difficoltà ad abbandonare integralmente l’infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni tradizionale. Poter evidenziare, attraverso dimostrazioni live, quanto sia semplice fruire della convergenza dati/voce/video, come applicata nei telefoni VoIP di snom, preservando l’interoperabilità con il sistema telefonico tradizionale attraverso i nostri gateway, è stata un’opportunità di indiscutibile valore” commenta Euro Scrobogna, Regional Sales Director di VegaStream per l’Italia la propria presenza al CeBIT.

“Il CeBIT 2010 è stato un successo per ESTOS. I visitatori hanno mostrato notevole interesse nell’integrazione dei processi aziendali e nel progetto ESTOS inerente la tecnologia di comunicazione Web 2.0 nota come ‘federation’” commenta Florian Bock, Direttore Generale di ESTOS. “Abbiamo anche riscontrato un incremento della domanda della nostra soluzione CTI per i telefoni snom: durante la fiera il middleware ESTOS ECSTA per snom, presentato in esclusiva presso lo stand di snom, ha ricevuto il premio all’innovazione 2010 nella categoria VoIP dalla rinomata giuria di Initiative Mittelstand. La soluzione consente di impiegare in modo indipendente applicazioni TAPI (UC e/o CTI) con i telefoni snom.“
VegaStream Group

Fondato nel 1998, il Gruppo VegaStream è tra i più maturi player dell’industria del VoIP. L’azienda produce gateway CPE affidabili, di semplice impiego a prezzi competitivi, sviluppati esplicitamente per carrier della telefonia tradizionale e per la nuova generazione di provider di servizi di telefonia IP. VegaStream serve altresì il mercato enterprise attraverso una rete globale di distributori e rivenditori. Per ulteriori informazioni pregasi visitare il sito internet www.vegastream.com.
ESTOS

Fondata nel maggio 1998, ESTOS prosegue nella creazione di prodotti innovativi nel campo delle telecomunicazioni. Una delle attuali sfere di influenza di ESTOS è l’astrazione di interfaccia complesse nei settori dell’Office Integration (OI) e della Computer Telephony Integration (CTI). ESTOS sta sviluppando componenti elettronici per la gestione dei dati, driver per aziende produttrici di PBX e applicazioni professionali per sistemi client-server. Per ulteriori informazioni pregasi visitare il sito internet www.estos.it.

snom indice il campionato mondiale delle applicazioni XML per i telefoni VoIP

A tutti gli appassionati di informatica snom propone una stimolante sfida estiva: fino al 6 settembre 2010 una giuria composta da noti nomi internazionali dell’industria IP premierà le app XML più creative o utili sviluppate per i telefoni VoIP del produttore berlinese.

A fronte dell’interesse globale destato dall’applicazione XML con cui gli utenti dei telefoni VoIP di snom technology hanno potuto giocare la schedina in occasione dei Mondiali di calcio 2010 (ndr. il quinto premio è stato vinto da un utente di Treviso!), il produttore tedesco ha indetto la snom XML Application World Cup, un invito esteso a tutti gli utenti snom, programmatori, fans delle app XML, a mettere alla prova il proprio talento, sviluppando l’applicazione XML più creativa e/o utile per il minibrowser XML integrato nei telefoni IP da tavolo della serie 3xx e 8xx di snom technology.

Il campionato mondiale si gioca nelle categorie Business e Lifestyle, i vincitori saranno selezionati da una giuria di esperti internazionali delle comunicazioni IP tra cui Frank Ochmann, Direttore e moderatore dell’IP Phone Forum in Germania e Sandra Gustavsen, IP Telephony Analyst per il Gruppo T3i (USA) e redattrice della newsletter TelecomTactics di TMCnet, Matt Marlor, evangelista informatico (Australia), ed alcuni membri sia del management sia del dipartimento di ricerca e sviluppo di snom technology.

L’unica condizione per partecipare al campionato: Il codice sorgente dell’applicazione XML deve essere rilasciato sotto licenza GPL (General Public License) e prodotto dal candidato stesso.

snom technology AG Achieves Certified Interoperability with 4PSA and its VoipNow® Unified Communications Platform

-      Certification bolsters snom products’ growing reputation as ideal IP endpoints for unified communications systems of all kinds -

Berlin, Germany and Woburn, Mass. (August 9, 2010)snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today that its full suite of IP desktop phones has passed a battery of interoperability tests with 4PSA’s cloud-based unified communications solution VoipNow®. The tests included the snom 3xx and snom 8xx desktop phones, as well as the snom m3 wireless DECT phone, and support snom’s growing position as the go-to developer of intelligent IP endpoints for unified communications systems of all kinds.

The combination of snom’s open SIP architecture and 4PSA’s innovative cloud computing communications software offers customers a low-cost, highly functional enterprise telephony system that is easily deployed and highly scalable to hundreds or thousands of endpoints, if necessary.

“All of snom’s products are built on the premise of interoperability in any SIP environment, be it hardware or software, on-premises or hosted and even in the cloud,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “With 4PSA leading the way in cloud-based unified communications environments, we think the two product suites complement each other very nicely.”

snom’s suite of VoIP phones includes advanced IP phones such as the snom 3xx series, full-color touchscreen desktop phones such as the snom 870, wireless DECT phones such as the m3 and related endpoints, such as the PA1 paging system and the MeetingPoint conference phone. All built with open SIP firmware allowing for simple installation, industry-wide interoperability and crystal-clear sound quality. As unified communications systems have proliferated, the advanced technology and open standards in every snom product has proven to be an ideal combination for providing enterprises with cost-effective and feature-rich IP telephony.

“We have supported snom telephones for some time and were well-aware of our respective products compatibility before the certification process,” said Mike Ross, President for 4PSA.”We wanted to make the certification official because we think it is important to assure our present and future customers that snom products will deliver to the demands that businesses expect and allow them to take full advantage of the feature-rich VoipNow® platform.”

4PSA’s VoipNow® platform takes a cloud computing approach to telephony, bringing unified communications to the masses. For business customers, VoipNow® provides calling, messaging, presence, faxing, conferencing and and other advanced IP telephony features in a cloud-based environment, making such functionality available to small businesses and large enterprises alike.

snom technology AG Announces Interoperability With Zultys IP-PBX and Related Unified Communications Product Suite

 Combination provides customers with interoperable, end-to-end SIP-based telephony solution

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (July 21, 2010)snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today that its full suite of IP desktop phones has passed a battery of interoperability tests with IP-PBX and unified communications system maker Zultys. The tests include the snom 3xx and snom 8xx desktop phones, as well as the snom m3 wireless DECT phone, which supported full interoperability with Zultys’ MX250 and MX30 IP-PBX platforms.

The interoperability of the two product suites, both of which are founded on the global SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Open Standard, gives customers a broader range of options when choosing an IP telephony system that enables a suite of business- and productivity-enhancing applications, from simple voice services to integrated unified communications systems.

“Like snom, Zultys has built its product suite on the promise of interoperability in SIP environments,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “This premise has seen the company gain a strong following on an international level, particularly in North America and Europe. We think Zultys provides our customers and resellers a great IP-PBX option.”

Zultys’ MX250 and MX30 provide end users with a leading SIP open standard IP-PBX system that is highly efficient and offers an array of traditional and advanced features and applications from a single highly integrated appliance. Zultys’ “all in one” design packs many features into a single server, eliminating the need for additional external servers to support fax, call recording, visual voice mail, ICC, ACD, and other critical services that come standard on all Zultys IP-PBX products.

“snom phones serve as a great complement to our IP-PBX platforms and mesh well with our philosophy of enabling our customers to tailor their Unified Communications system to their own unique needs by leveraging the global SIP ecosystem,” said Steve Francis, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Zultys. “While Zultys provides a complete solution, interoperability with snom gives users more choice in how they deploy their end-to-end telephony system.”

Le nouveau snom 821 désormais disponible

Toute la nouvelle gamme de produits snom intègre le standard Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).

Paris, France, le 29 juin 2010 +++ – snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et de téléphones VoIP, annonce la disponibilité du nouveau snom 821. Ce téléphone professionnel remplace le snom 820 qui était le premier modèle de la nouvelle génération de téléphones professionnels VoIP snom. Comme le snom 870 à écran tactile, il propose désormais un Switch Ethernet Gigabit. snom va dorénavant proposer toutes ses nouvelles gammes de produits avec le standard Gigabit Ethernet (GbE).

Dans cette gamme de modèles 8xx, avec le snom 821 et le snom 870, deux exigences majeures de la téléphonie moderne ont été réunies : une technologie VoIP de pointe alliée à un design élégant.

Le grand écran couleur haute définition (8,9 cm (3,5”), 320 x 240 pixels) du snom 821 permet un affichage clair des listes d´appels, des répertoires téléphoniques et des informations concernant l´interlocuteur : numéro d’appel, photographie, etc. L´interface utilisateur est intuitive et claire. Le snom 821 est disponible en gris clair et noir.

La technologie Wideband (son HIFI) du combiné capte plus du double du spectre des fréquences d´un combiné normal. La qualité audio du snom 821 est comparable à celle d´une radio FM. De plus, sur haut-parleur, un amplificateur classe D réduit toutes interférences. Le snom 821, équipé d’une clef WLAN, permet une grande indépendance dans le choix du déploiement : Alimentation/PoE ou Ethernet/WLAN sont possibles. Finalement, des fonctions de sécurité, telles que l´intégration VPN, TLS et SRTP, font parties intégrales du snom 821.

snom technology a tutto canale

Il produttore di telefoni VoIP berlinese passa in rassegna il primo anno e mezzo di attività sul territorio nazionale, il modello di distribuzione indiretta è la colonna portante del successo registrato dalla filiale italiana.

Milano – Ad un anno e mezzo dall’apertura della filiale di snom technology AG in Italia, il produttore di telefoni VoIP berlinese analizza le attività condotte sul territorio nazionale passando in rassegna strategie, risultati e obiettivi. A fronte di un mercato italiano in netta crescita rispetto ai trend europei, l’azienda registra nel primo semestre 2010 un notevole incremento del numero dei partner e dei fatturati rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2009, fase iniziale delle attività.

“Il mercato italiano è ancora in una fase iniziale di adozione della tecnologia VoIP. Tale ritardo rispetto agli altri Paesi riserva ai produttori di soluzioni VoIP un potenziale molto interessante e consente agli utenti sul territorio nazionale di beneficiare dei vantaggi di una tecnologia VoIP ormai matura e di implementazioni non più pionieristiche”, commenta Fabio Albanini, Sales Channel Manager di snom technology per l’Italia.

La crescita registrata da snom è senz’altro dovuta al rafforzamento delle partnership con gli attuali distributori Allnet.Italia, Asit, CDC e EDSLan che hanno contribuito in modo sostanziale alla realizzazione del programma di canale con certificazione SCE (snom Certified Engineer) lanciato un anno e mezzo fa. Il programma non si limita ad offrire ai partner un listino prezzi dedicato ma rappresenta la volontà di snom di investire in modo concreto nelle relazioni con i rivenditori intenzionati ad acquisire le conoscenze tecniche necessarie per proporre in modo competente ed installare correttamente i telefoni snom.

Con i 14 corsi di formazione erogati tra Milano, Roma e Bari, a cui hanno partecipato 91 tecnici, dando luogo alla certificazione di 70 aziende al livello advanced e premium su tutto il territorio nazionale, l’azienda ha ormai costruito un solido canale commerciale in grado di servire i più diversi settori di mercato. I rivenditori possono costantemente verificare la disponibilità dei corsi al link http://www.snom.com/it/news/trainings-for-vars/snom-university/dates/

“Oltre ad accrescere il numero dei nostri partner, il nostro obiettivo per il 2010 è dedicare maggiore attenzione ai rivenditori certificati attuali, sia attraverso un costante scambio di esperienze, come avvenuto in occasione del Roadshow di aprile, sia offrendo loro strumenti tecnici e commerciali che semplifichino le loro attività di gestione della clientela” continua Albanini, ed aggiunge: ”a tale scopo ad inizio 2010 abbiamo potenziato la struttura italiana assumendo due nuovi collaboratori dedicati supporto tecnico pre e post vendita e alla formazione”.

snom technology Raises the Bar for VoIP Handsets with the Release of the snom 821 Phone with Gigabit Speed

Newest member of the snom 8xx series provides greater speed and new color options

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (June 1, 2010)snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today the launch of the snom 821, a new desktop Internet protocol (IP) phone with all the advanced functionality and interoperability of other snom 8xx series phones, as well as a new integrated gigabit switch.

In addition to the technological advancements to the phone, the snom 821 also comes in both light and dark colors, just like its big brother the snom 870. The snom 821 is expected to be fully available in the U.S. by the end of the second quarter.

“As desktop phones continue to migrate from being voice-centric devices to acting as complete dashboards for unified communications, the speed of application execution is becoming more and more critical,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “The addition of a gigabit switch came from customer requests, and we are very pleased that we were able to add innovation while keeping the same price point.”

The snom 821 offers a large high-resolution TFT color display for brilliant depiction of call lists, phone directories, and caller information via the integrated XML browser. In addition, the phone’s wideband technology captures more than double the frequency spectrum than a standard handset does, providing crystal clear sound quality.

As a business communications endpoint, the snom 821 features snom’s industry-renowned firmware, allowing for robust security supported through secure integrated open VPN, TLS and SRTP, and high sound quality using the handset or the speaker function. The snom 821 also supports all of the leading SIP-based IP PBX and unified communications environments, including Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

As with all of snom’s desktop phones, the snom 821 also offers the necessary functionality for any business user, including features such as 5-way conferencing, multiple ringtones, and up to twelve different SIP identities.

The snom 821 and 870, as well as associated accessories such as the PA1 public address system, the MeetingPoint conference module, and the snom Vision sidecar, are designed to take the desktop business phone beyond its traditional position as a person-to-person voice communications device and make it a truly interactive and intelligent business communication device. Armed with full-color and touchscreen interfaces, web programmable ports, and a wide array of interoperable unified communications elements, the entire suite of next generation snom devices represents the future of desktop interaction.

I telefoni VoIP di snom technology convincono mobilkom austria e Vodafone

snom technology AG, produttore di telefoni VoIP ideali per aziende e professionisti, annuncia oggi che Vodafone e mobilkom austria hanno incluso ufficialmente i telefoni snom SIP-based nelle rispettive offerte di apparecchi per la linea fissa. Entrambi i carrier hanno confermato l’interoperabilità dei telefoni VoIP del produttore berlinese dopo una serie di test particolarmente severi. snom technology è addirittura l’unico produttore di telefoni Voice-over-IP contemplato nel portafoglio prodotti di mobilkom austria.

Con soluzioni convergenti per telefonia mobile, fissa / VoIP, i carrier come mobilkom austria e Vodafone si rivolgono primariamente ad una clientela aziendale. L’ampia gamma di telefoni snom soddisfa qualsiasi esigenza in ambito professionale: dall’apparecchio di base per impianti telefonici con più interni al telefono da conferenza, al cordless DECT SIP-based fino ai telefoni high-end, dotati di display touch-screeen.

“Abbiamo accolto snom tra i nostri partner sia per l’eccezionale interoperabilità tra i telefoni IP di snom e la nostra piattaforma VoIP basata su IMS, sia per la disponibilità e flessibilità del vendor ad ampliare il software dei propri telefoni per corrispondere appieno alle nostre necessità”, così Bernd Bösendorfer, Manager Product Marketing di mobilkom austria, commenta la decisione presa a favore di snom.

Con prodotti quali “OfficeNet” (Vodafone) o „A1 Network Professional“ (mobilkom austria) i grandi carrier telefonici puntano ad incrementare la propria presenza sul mercato B2B attraverso un’offerta completa. Le soluzioni proposte seguono un principio specifico: garantire la massima convergenza tra telefonia mobile e fissa. Ove prima erano necessari due recapiti telefonici per cellulare aziendale e ufficio, ora si dispone di un solo numero, con un singolo piano tariffario, applicato ad entrambe le reti – una notevole semplificazione per l’utente.

Il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing di snom technology AG, sottolinea: „l’elevata compatibilità e la pletora di funzioni offerte dai nostri apparecchi nell’ambito delle Unified Communications sono stati decisivi per la nostra qualificazione presso mobilkom austria ed il Gruppo Vodafone. Siamo molto lieti che i telefoni snom vengano offerti anche attraverso questo canale.“

mobilkom austria
Con oltre 4,8 milioni di clienti ed una quota di mercato del 42,6% mobilkom austria è il maggior carrier di telefonia mobile austriaco. Fondata nel 1996, l’azienda offre con i marchi A1, bob e Red Bull MOBILE soluzioni mobili complete, dalla telefonia classica a servizi dati fino a soluzioni di mobile business e POS. mobilkom austria fa parte del Gruppo Telekom Austria e conta in Austria oltre 2.100 impiegati. Il Dr. Hannes Ametsreiter è l’Amministratore Delegato e nel contempo anche Direttore Generale di Telekom Austria e Membro del CdA dell’Associazione GSM (GSMA) – l’associazione internazionale delle aziende di telefonia mobile. Nel 2009 mobilkom austria ha registrato un fatturato di EUR 1,574 Miliardi con un EBITDA di EUR 585,7 Milioni e profitti per EUR 354,9 Milioni. mobilkom austria e Telekom Austria pongono insieme le basi per un programma di modernizzazione delle infrastrutture: nei prossimi quattro anni investiranno EUR 1,5 Miliardi, di cui EUR 500 Milioni nella rete mobile, per garantire anche in futuro la migliore qualità, tecnologie all’avanguardia e i servizi più innovativi.

Vodafone Deutschland
Con i suoi 13.000 impiegati ed un fatturato di circa 9 miliardi di Euro, Vodafone Deutschland è uno dei carrier telefonici più grandi e moderni in Europa. Con sede centrale a Düsseldorf, Vodafone Deutschland eroga servizi innovativi basati su tecnologie integrate e fa propria la comunicazione a rete unica offrendo telefonia mobile e fissa e servizi di connettività internet a banda larga per utenti privati ed aziendali. Il costante sviluppo, i numerosi brevetti, i continui investimenti in nuovi prodotti e servizi, l’infrastruttura moderna hanno reso Vodafone uno dei leader dell’innovazione in Germania. Nel 2009 Vodafone ha ricevuto nuovamente dalla rivista specializzata “connect” il riconoscimento per la miglior rete voce / dati in Germania. Vodafone prende a cuore anche la propria responsabilità sociale. La fondazione Vodafone Deutschland genera e supporta numerosi progetti nel campo dell’istruzione, integrazione, mobilità sociale, arte/cultura e salute. L’azienda fa parte del Gruppo Vodafone Plc.

mobilkom austria und Vodafone nehmen snom VoIP-Telefone in Produktportfolio auf

Die Produkte von snom technology AG, einem führenden Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Telefonen, gehören ab sofort bei mobilkom austria und Vodafone offiziell zum Angebotsportfolio für die Festnetzsparte. Die Interoperabilität der snom VoIP-Telefone wurde von beiden Telekommunikationskonzernen in umfangreichen Tests bestätigt.

Bernd Bösendorfer, Produktmarketing Manager bei mobilkom austria, begründet die Entscheidung für snom: „Ausschlaggebend für unsere Entscheidung, snom als Partner auszuwählen, war zum einen die sehr gute Interoperabilität der snom IP-Telefone mit unserer IMS-basierenden VoIP-Plattform und zum anderen die Bereitschaft und Flexibilität von snom, die Telefonsoftware so zu erweitern, dass sie unseren Anforderungen gerecht wird.“ Mit Produkten wie „OfficeNet“ (Vodafone) oder „A1 Network Professional“ (mobilkom austria) setzen die großen Telekommunikationsanbieter immer mehr darauf, ihre Kunden besonders im Geschäftsbereich mit Komplettangeboten zu überzeugen. Diese Lösungen verfolgen vor allen Dingen einen Ansatz: den nahtlosen Übergang zwischen Mobil- und Festnetztelefonie. Wo früher zwei Nummern für das Diensthandy und den Büroanschluss notwendig waren, ist jetzt eine Nummer und ein Verbindungspreis für beide Anschlussarten verfügbar – eine große Erleichterung für den Nutzer. Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand bei snom, betont:„Durch die hohe Interoperabilität unserer Geräte und durch die Vielzahl an Funktionalitäten aus dem Bereich Unified Communications haben wir uns für den offiziellen Einsatz bei mobilkom austria und Vodafone qualifiziert.

snom technology Introduces New Color Touchscreen Expansion Module for 8xx Series VoIP Phones

New snom Vision delivers flexibility and enhanced customization options to award-winning desktop endpoint portfolio

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (March 22, 2010)snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today the availability of a new expansion module for its award-winning 8xx series next-generation IP desktop phones and other endpoints. Dubbed the snom Vision, the new module adds 16 fully programmable keys per unit, which can be used for speed dial, busy line field, presence, mini-browser or other applications.

With each snom 820 or 870 VoIP phone capable of supporting three Vision modules, that’s 48 programmable endpoint monitors per phone. The color touchscreen features the same elegant styling as the snom 820 and snom 870, while also complementing the next-generation functionality of the 8xx suite of endpoints.

In addition to being used as an expansion module, the Vision can also be used as a stand-alone device, using an Ethernet network connection and Linux OS. The built-in web server allows independent configuration through an elegant web interface, though standard snom settings provisioning is also supported. In addition, the Vision acts as an expanded interface managing a wide range of voice-driven business applications, such as CRM systems and unified communications services, and can provide a control point for applications such as remote door opening and one-way video access.

“The snom Vision provides added functionality to our 8xx series of next-generation endpoints, while also adhering to snom’s renowned design standards,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “With its web capabilities, the Vision also plays a key role in the overall snom portfolio, providing a flexibility and functionality that will help our devices become more than VoIP phones, but intelligent unified communications endpoints.”

The Vision features 16 programmable keys with two control keys, each featuring bi-color (red/green) LEDs. The 4.3-inch screen has a resolution of 272 x 480 pixels, with 24 bits color depth. The built-in HTTP and HTTPS server supports automatic loading of settings via HTTP, HTTPS, FTP or TFTP.

The snom 820 and 870, as well as associated accessories such as the PA1 public address system, the MeetingPoint conference module, and now the snom Vision, are designed to take the desktop business phone beyond its traditional position as a person-to-person voice communications device and make it a truly interactive and intelligent business communication device. Armed with full-color and touchscreen interfaces, web programmable ports, and a wide array of interoperable unified communications elements, the entire suite of next generation snom devices represents the future of desktop interaction.

The Vision will be available in Q2, 2010.

snom technology punta sull’interoperabilità

Questo il “Leitmotiv” della presenza di snom al CeBIT insieme a rinomati partner internazionali tra cui VegaStream Italia ed ESTOS.

“Sebbene siano molteplici le esigenze espresse dalla clientela fermatasi al nostro stand, tutte fanno capo alla primaria necessità di una piena convergenza dati/voce/video, per ridurre il costo totale operativo dell’infrastruttura aziendale”, così il Dottor Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e membro del CDA di snom technology commenta la presenza dell’azienda al CeBIT 2010 di Hannover.

Il produttore di telefoni VoIP per l’uso professionale ha mostrato con i propri partner internazionali la versatilità d’impiego dei suoi telefoni con le più disparate soluzioni.

Gli interessati hanno potuto saggiare personalmente l’interoperabilità senza compromessi tra i telefoni snom e le soluzioni per le Unified Communications di ESTOS, i centralini IP PBX open source prodotti da STARFACE, i gateway VoIP di VegaStream ed i videocitofoni IP a colonna della Baudisch Electronic GmbH.

Dall’integrazione con i più avanzati sistemi di Unified Communications alla sicurezza degli edifici, i telefoni snom basati sullo standard SIP aperto si adattano in modo ottimale ai diversi contesti d’uso, non da ultimo il monitoraggio, anche visivo, di interni e/o esterni tramite il collegamento con videocamere IP e la possibilità di impiegare i telefoni VoIP per effettuare annunci al pubblico, particolarmente gradita in studi professionali dotati di sala d’attesa o in corsie ospedaliere.

“Per quanto la spinta alla convergenza e all’abbattimento dei costi della telefonia sia molto forte anche in Italia, gli stessi carrier e, di conseguenza, le aziende hanno difficoltà ad abbandonare integralmente l’infrastruttura di telecomunicazioni tradizionale. Poter evidenziare, attraverso dimostrazioni live, quanto sia semplice fruire della convergenza dati/voce/video, come applicata nei telefoni VoIP di snom, preservando l’interoperabilità con il sistema telefonico tradizionale attraverso i nostri gateway, è stata un’opportunità di indiscutibile valore” commenta Euro Scrobogna, Regional Sales Director di VegaStream per l’Italia la propria presenza al CeBIT.

“Il CeBIT 2010 è stato un successo per ESTOS. I visitatori hanno mostrato notevole interesse nell’integrazione dei processi aziendali e nel progetto ESTOS inerente la tecnologia di comunicazione Web 2.0 nota come ‘federation’” commenta Florian Bock, Direttore Generale di ESTOS. “Abbiamo anche riscontrato un incremento della domanda della nostra soluzione CTI per i telefoni snom: durante la fiera il middleware ESTOS ECSTA per snom, presentato in esclusiva presso lo stand di snom, ha ricevuto il premio all’innovazione 2010 nella categoria VoIP dalla rinomata giuria di Initiative Mittelstand. La soluzione consente di impiegare in modo indipendente applicazioni TAPI (UC e/o CTI) con i telefoni snom.“
VegaStream Group

Fondato nel 1998, il Gruppo VegaStream è tra i più maturi player dell’industria del VoIP. L’azienda produce gateway CPE affidabili, di semplice impiego a prezzi competitivi, sviluppati esplicitamente per carrier della telefonia tradizionale e per la nuova generazione di provider di servizi di telefonia IP. VegaStream serve altresì il mercato enterprise attraverso una rete globale di distributori e rivenditori. Per ulteriori informazioni pregasi visitare il sito internet www.vegastream.com.

Für die Auszeichnung wurde das ESTOS Produkt von einer 80-köpfigen Fachjury hinsichtlich der Kriterien Innovationsgehalt, Praxisrelevanz und Eignung für den Mittelstand unter die Lupe genommen.

Rainer Kölmel, Geschäftsführer der Initiative Mittelstand gratuliert zum exzellenten Ergebnis: „Herzlichen Glückwunsch an das gesamte Team. Mit dem ECSTA für snom ist ESTOS wirklich ein besonderer Coup gelungen. Wir verstehen uns als Brücke zwischen den Lösungsanbietern und den Unternehmen. Dazu stehen wir bei der Suche nach einer passenden Infrastruktur beratend zur Seite.

Outre l´interopérabilité complète des solutions IP de snom et d´Amiritel, les deux sociétés offrent des facilités de déploiements des postes et d´accès aux annuaires.

Paris, France, le 8 février 2010 +++ snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP, et Amiritel, constructeur et éditeur de logiciels d’IP-PABX, annoncent l’interopérabilité complète de leurs solutions de téléphonie sur IP basées sur le standard SIP.

Les deux sociétés ont intégrées et validées respectivement les téléphones professionnels SIP (snom série 3xx et série 8xx) et la gamme IP-PABX (Amiritel L, M2 et R) afin d’offrir, outre l’interopérabilité, des facilités de déploiements des postes et d’accès aux annuaires.

« Le déploiement d’un IP-PABX et notamment le paramétrage des téléphones des utilisateurs est une charge de temps et donc une charge financière pour les installateurs et intégrateurs », déclare Olivier Gerling, Directeur Général de snom technology France. « Nous devons renforcer notre coopération avec des partenaires d’IP-PABX ouverts comme Amiritel pour offrir des solutions ‘Plug & Phone´ identiques à celles des constructeurs de PABX et d’IP-PABX traditionnels, mais bien sûr non propriétaires. Nos postes s’auto-configurent avec les PABX d’Amiritel et ce gain de temps est un atout majeur pour les installateurs et intégrateurs ».

Eric Kratz, Président Directeur Général d’Amiritel, ajoute : « La philosophie d’automatisation et d’ouverture d’Amiritel permet à nos distributeurs et revendeurs d’accroître leur performance, en permettant d’utiliser le meilleur de la technologie. Nos équipes œuvrent chaque jour afin de rendre toujours plus simple le déploiement des solutions de téléphonie. Les téléphones snom contribuent à cette volonté et accroissent la liste des téléphones de qualités déjà supportés par l’ensemble de nos solutions ».

Les solutions de snom technology (Hall 13, Stand C42) et d’Amiritel (Hall 14, Pavillon France) seront présentés au CeBIT à Hanovre du 2 au 6 mars 2010.

snom Expands Global Footprint with CordiaIP VoIP Certification

Cordia’s SIP service now certified for interoperability with snom’s portfolio of business VoIP telephones

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (February 3,  2010)  - snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today its line of SIP-based VoIP telephones is interoperable with CordiaIP Corp.’s (“Cordia”) global, flexible and low-cost business Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service.

Through the partnership, Cordia’s SIP service is now certified to integrate with snom’s portfolio of VoIP telephones. Cordia’s global service offers international business users of SIP trunking and IP PBXs high-quality and low-cost telephone service with built-in network flexibility and redundancy. Cordia’s SIP service, which is available through the agent channel, offers a host of features like inbound and outbound calling, toll-free, direct inward dialing, E-911 compliance, national directory listing, online billing, account management and a host of built-in features.  Additionally, Cordia offers both global and domestic Unlimited Plans.  Being certified by snom as an interoperability partner gives Cordia’s customers the ability to use snom’s portfolio of SIP-based business VoIP telephones in concert with Cordia’s service. snom’s offerings include the snom 320, snom 360, snom 370, snom 820, and the new snom 870 touchscreen phone. Additional snom products include the snom MeetingPoint conferencing phone and the snom m3 IP DECT phone.

“We’re pleased to expand our ecosystem of strategic technology partners to include CordiaIP as a certified carrier partner,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “Using snom’s intelligent VoIP telephones on Cordia’s global carrier VoIP network is the perfect fit and creates a complete end-to-end communications system at a price point tailor-made for small and midsized businesses.”

Cordia’s service offers users of snom intelligent endpoints a high-quality voice service with IP connectivity, but without the cost and hassle associated with dedicated circuits.  Cordia monitors the network for quality assurance, 24-by-7 NOC management, and guaranteed 99.9 percent IP network availability.  Users of Cordia can keep their existing PBX or Key System and use the Cordia-provided user access device to connect with the Cordia network.  Cordia’s SIP service can be used as a primary or secondary carrier and utilizes multiple network nodes which offer numerous routes for the highest call completion for a business or call center. Additionally, in the event of an Internet outage, Cordia can transfer routes between nodes for redundancy and offers TDM/PSTN rollover capabilities.  Customers can receive new telephone or toll free numbers or port their existing numbers to Cordia.

snom unveils its first public address device capable of making broadcasts from a VoIP phone

snom technology AG, a developer and manufacturer of IP phones, has developed a new audio device that will allow SIP-based VoIP telephones to be used as an extension of any public address system, significantly reducing the costs associated with this type of system. The PA1 will be unveiled at CeBIT in March in Hanover, Germany (Hall 13/Stand C42).

The snom PA1 is an audio control system that augments the SIP-based PBX and is ideal for broadcasting announcements or playing music. The PA1, which can be used anywhere from reception areas to airports, has a built-in four-watt amplifier that can provide enough volume to fill large rooms and open spaces with sound using easily connected external speakers. Headset connection is also possible through two 3.5mm jacks.

The PA1 continues snom’s tradition of simple intuitive design and ease of integration by having its own private phone number in the same way that all devices connected to an SIP system do for ease of integration. snom’s PA1 combines excellent technological capabilities with significant cost-saving potential. While the device has been specifically designed for use with the snom OCS edition, it can link with all SIP-based VoIP telephones and business IP PBX platforms and protects existing investment.

snom’s public address device is exceptionally flexible. It can be used with an AC adapter or operated over an ethernet connection and it can be mounted on a wall or ceiling bracket. The PA1 can also be linked to any existing installed public address loudspeakers, eliminating the need for additional fully fledged SIP-based public announcement systems; this allows a company to have a state-of-the-art communication system without the huge price tag. A further benefit of the PA1 is that all configurations and updates to the system can be carried out centrally.

Nelly Monkhouse, UK Sales Manager, said: “We are really pleased to add the PA1 to our product portfolio. We have designed the product based on our core values of quality and simplicity. The device really holds true to snom’s ideal of excellent sound quality and even across a network of 100 metres of cabling, there is no reduction in sound quality. The PA1 is a cost-effective, high-quality solution for all business needing a SIP-based public address system.”

snom au salon IT Partners

Paris, France, le 20 janvier 2010 +++ snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP, sera présent sur le salon IT Partners du 2 au 3 février 2010 à Disneyland Paris (Stand B-029 avec son partenaire DistriWan).

snom présentera sa gamme de téléphones SIP professionnel, notamment le snom 870 – la toute dernière innovation avec un grand écran TFT tactile, en couleur et haute définition, et un menu intuitif. De plus, le spécialiste VoIP montrera la snom OCS édition pour Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.  Grâce à la nouvelle édition de ce logiciel pour les téléphones snom de la série 3xx, la série 8xx et le snom MeetingPoint, de nombreuses fonctionnalités des Communications Unifiées de Microsoft s´intègrent désormais facilement dans l´environnement informatique et télécoms d´une entreprise.

« IT Partners est un événement clé dans le monde ITC », déclare Olivier Gerling, Directeur Général de snom technology France. « Le marché de la téléphonie VoIP subit un double essor : celui des IP-PABX non propriétaires basés sur le SIP d’une part, et d’autre part celui du monde des serveurs Microsoft qui s’enrichissent de plus en plus des fonctions de communications unifiées avec Microsoft OCS. Les grossistes sont au cœur de cette mutation : les intégrateurs qui déploient ce type de solutions cherchent auprès des grossistes les éléments qui vont constituer leur solutions, à savoir passerelles IP-PSTN ou IP-RNIS, PC serveurs, logiciels, Switch Ethernet, routeur, firewall et bien évidemment les équipements terminaux que sont les téléphones SIP ou OCS. L’époque où les installateurs devaient acheter leur PABX et les téléphones chez les constructeurs traditionnels est révolue. »

CeBIT 2010 : snom présentera le nouvel amplificateur digital audio, le snom PA1

Paris, France, le 13 janvier 2010 – Au CeBIT du 2 au 6 mars 2010 à Hanovre/ Allemagne, snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP (hall 13, stand C 42), va présenter son nouvel amplificateur digital audio, le snom PA1. Grâce à l´amplificateur efficace à 4 watts, les entreprises peuvent utiliser leur infrastructure téléphonique SIP pour des annonces ou la diffusion musicale dans des bureaux, espaces d´accueil, couloirs ou salons.

L´utilisation du snom PA1 est très facile car – comme c´est le cas pour tous les terminaux connectés à un PBX SIP – le snom PA1 dispose d´un numéro de téléphone propre. Une annonce par le snom PA1, par exemple, se fait en toute simplicité par le combiné, le casque ou le mode « mains libres » d´un téléphone snom. Le snom PA1 peut être fixé aux murs ou aux plafonds et alimenté de façon conventionnelle par une prise électrique ou par Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).

Grâce à un switch intégré, plusieurs snom PA1 peuvent être interconnectés sans problèmes. Les différentes lignes réseaux peuvent mesurer jusqu’à 100 mètres de long, et cela, sans pertes de qualité ce qui arrive souvent lorsque le câblage est trop long. Des mises à jour et des modifications de la configuration du snom PA1 peuvent être centralisées sur le serveur, comme c´est le cas pour tous les produits de snom. Outre le protocole SIP, le snom PA1 peut également être opéré via Multicast, ce qui permet de s’adresser à un grand nombre de destinataires simultanément. Le snom PA1 dispose de deux connecteurs de 3,5 mm pour le micro et le casque afin de faciliter la maintenance. Quatre sorties librement paramétrables peuvent être utilisées pour effectuer des contrôles via le menu du navigateur web. Une touche pour annoncer l´adresse IP ainsi que deux LEDs pour afficher le statut complètent les fonctionnalités du nouveau snom PA1.

De plus, snom offre une version « firmware » du snom PA1 conçu spécialement pour l´utilisation avec la snom OCS édition.

Neues Steuersystem snom PA1 erweitert SIP-Telefonanlagen zu flexiblen Audio-Systemen

snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von IP-Telefonen, präsentiert auf der CeBit (Halle 13/ Stand C 42) das neue Audio-Steuersystem snom PA1. Dank des snom PA1 können Unternehmen ihre bestehende SIP-Telefonanlage jetzt auch als Audioanlage für Durchsagen oder Musikeinspielungen nutzen. Durch einen integrierten 4 Watt-Verstärker sorgt das snom PA1 in Verbindung mit externen Lautsprechern für eine effiziente Beschallung in Empfangsbereichen, Bürofluren oder einzelnen Räumen. Die Bedienung des snom PA1 ist sehr unkompliziert, denn wie alle anderen Endgeräte, die an die SIP-Anlage angeschlossenen sind, hat auch das snom PA1 eine eigene Telefonnummer. Um beispielsweise eine Durchsage zu machen, genügt ein normaler Anruf an das snom PA1, von einem Telefon aus, über ein Headset oder über eine Freisprechanlage. Das snom PA1 lässt sich sowohl über ein Netzteil als auch über PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) betreiben und eignet sich auch für Decken- oder Wandmontage.

snom technology bietet für sein neues Audio-Steuersystem PA1 auch eine Firmware-Variante speziell für den Einsatz mit der snom OCS Edition an. Das Hintereinanderschalten mehrerer snom PA1 ist dank integriertem Switch völlig problemlos: auch bei Netzwerkleitungen mit einer Länge von bis zu 100 Metern kommt es zu keinerlei Qualitätsverlusten. Wie bei allen anderen snom Geräten auch, können Konfigurationen und Updates für das snom PA1 serverbasiert und zentral durchgeführt werden. Neben dem SIP-Protokoll lässt sich das snom PA1 auch über Multicast ansprechen, wodurch ein einzelner Sender mehrere Empfänger gleichzeitig erreicht. Neben einem Mikrofoneingang und einem Verstärkerausgang, jeweils in 3,5mm-Klinken-Anschluss, verfügt das snom PA1 auch über vier frei programmierbare Ein- oder Ausgangssignale, die über ein Webbrowsermenü konfiguriert werden können. Auch eine Taste zur Ansage der IP-Adresse sowie zwei LED-Statusanzeigen gehören zu den Features des neuen snom PA1.

snom Eases the Cost Burden of Public Address Systems with the PA1

New SIP-based audio control device enables paging and announcements from VoIP phones while preserving communications investment

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (December 17, 2009)snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today the availability of a new public announcement device, the snom PA1, which enables the use of snom business VoIP phones or any other SIP-based VoIP telephones as an extension of the public address system. The PA1 also reduces the CAPEX costs of state-of-the-art communications systems as it interoperates with existing VoIP and public addressing infrastructure, preserving existing investments while adding new functionality.

The snom PA1 is an audio control system that augments the SIP-based PBX and is ideal for broadcasting announcements or playing background music everywhere from reception areas and shopping malls to airports and hospitals. The PA1 combines the features and functions of a snom IP telephone with a high-performance digital amplifier to broadcast announcements and messages quickly and effectively.

The PA1 also protects existing investment by integrating with all SIP-based VoIP telephones and business IP PBX platforms. It also works with a business’s installed public address loud-speakers, ultimately cutting down the cost of a full-fledged SIP-based public announcement system.

“snom is excited to release the snom PA1 public addressing system in the U.S.,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “The first of its kind public addressing device delivers the ability to make broadcasts from a desktop VoIP phone and is a valuable tool to have in the SIP arsenal. The PA1 can also help a company update its communications system without the additional cost of buying, installing and wiring new loud-speakers or replacing the VoIP infrastructure. Instead, the PA1 hooks directly to speakers that are already in place and integrates with VoIP telephones and the IP PBX for crystal clear SIP-powered announcements without additional CAPEX costs or other pricy upgrades.”

To make an announcement using the snom PA1, a user simply initiates a call to the PA1 from any SIP-based VoIP telephone using the handset, a headset or via the hands-free mode. Once the call is connected, the user can make an announcement. Each PA1 is designed to drive one 8 ohm speaker. A 4 Watt amplifier ensures enough coverage to blanket the entire room or space with sound.

Additionally, several snom PA1 units can be interconnected via a built-in switch and can be connected to any loudspeaker on the market. It can be powered by a conventional power supply or through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and the devices can be centrally configured via a Web interface. Like other snom devices, updates and configuration changes for the PA1 can be performed centrally on the server.

Along with the ability to broadcast announcements using SIP, the snom PA1 can be addressed using multicast, meaning one transmitter can address many receivers.

The device also features two 3.5 mm jacks for a headset connection, four freely programmable output pins to control the PA1 via the Web interface and two LED status indicators. Additional features include remote volume configuration and housing for wall or ceiling mounting.

The snom PA1 is available now for a list price of $169.

snom accede a nuovi mercati con il PA1, il nuovo sistema di interfonia e sorveglianza su SIP

Lo snom PA1 consente di installare facilmente, attraverso l’impianto di telefonia SIP esistente, un sistema di videosorveglianza e di annunci al pubblico per interni, con qualità audio a banda larga.

snom Technology AG, produttore leader di telefoni VoIP avanzati per l’uso professionale, annuncia oggi lo snom PA1, un innovativo sistema di gestione delle trasmissioni audio-video basato sul protocollo SIP aperto, che munisce gli impianti di telefonia SIP esistenti di un potente amplificatore digitale per la trasmissione di annunci al pubblico e musica per reception, atrio, sale d’attesa, corridoi, interi piani, anche su lunghe distanze, oltre ad offrire funzioni di videosorveglianza via IP.

Se connesso con una videocamera IP, lo snom PA1 invia altresì immagini di alta qualità a monitor in qualsiasi altra stanza, consente quindi di sorvegliare ambienti critici come receptions, atrio / uscita degli edifici, sale d’attesa ecc.

“Lo snom PA1 è il nostro contributo alla massimizzazione del potenziale di funzionalità insito nei moderni impianti SIP. Con lo snom PA1 rispondiamo all’esigenza di semplicità del mercato professionale di oggi, che desidera fruire di tutte le funzioni e caratteristiche possibili attraverso infrastrutture esistenti, al fine di ridurre da un lato i costi e dall’altro le componenti da gestire”, commenta il Dr. Michael Knieling, Vice Presidente Esecutivo e membro del CdA di snom.

snom Eases the Cost Burden of Public Address Systems with the PA1

snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today the availability of a new public announcement device, the snom PA1, which enables the use of snom business VoIP phones or any other SIP-based VoIP telephones as an extension of the public address system. The PA1 also reduces the CAPEX costs of state-of-the-art communications systems as it interoperates with existing VoIP and public addressing infrastructure, preserving existing investments while adding new functionality.

The snom PA1 is an audio control system that augments the SIP-based PBX and is ideal for broadcasting announcements or playing background music everywhere from reception areas and shopping malls to airports and hospitals. The PA1 combines the features and functions of a snom IP telephone with a high-performance digital amplifier to broadcast announcements and messages quickly and effectively.

The PA1 also protects existing investment by integrating with all SIP-based VoIP telephones and business IP PBX platforms. It also works with a business’s installed public address loud-speakers, ultimately cutting down the cost of a full-fledged SIP-based public announcement system.

“snom is excited to release the snom PA1 public addressing system in the U.S.,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “The first of its kind public addressing device delivers the ability to make broadcasts from a desktop VoIP phone and is a valuable tool to have in the SIP arsenal. The PA1 can also help a company update its communications system without the additional cost of buying, installing and wiring new loud-speakers or replacing the VoIP infrastructure. Instead, the PA1 hooks directly to speakers that are already in place and integrates with VoIP telephones and the IP PBX for crystal clear SIP-powered announcements without additional CAPEX costs or other pricy upgrades.”

To make an announcement using the snom PA1, a user simply initiates a call to the PA1 from any SIP-based VoIP telephone using the handset, a headset or via the hands-free mode. Once the call is connected, the user can make an announcement. Each PA1 is designed to drive one 8 ohm speaker. A 4 Watt amplifier ensures enough coverage to blanket the entire room or space with sound.

Additionally, several snom PA1 units can be interconnected via a built-in switch and can be connected to any loudspeaker on the market. It can be powered by a conventional power supply or through a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and the devices can be centrally configured via a Web interface. Like other snom devices, updates and configuration changes for the PA1 can be performed centrally on the server.

Along with the ability to broadcast announcements using SIP, the snom PA1 can be addressed using multicast, meaning one transmitter can address many receivers.

The device also features two 3.5 mm jacks for a headset connection, four freely programmable output pins to control the PA1 via the Web interface and two LED status indicators. Additional features include remote volume configuration and housing for wall or ceiling mounting.

L’azienda tedesca rende noto il suo posizionamento nella graduatoria „Fast 50“ di Deloitte inerente alle aziende IT con il più elevato tasso di crescita in Germania.

Berlino – snom technology AG, produttore di telefoni VoIP per l’uso professionale, annuncia che per il terzo anno consecutivo è presente nella graduatoria Fast 50 di Deloitte Technology. L’azienda si attesta al 23° posto per l’eccellente crescita registrata negli ultimi cinque anni (2004 -2008).

Il Dr. Michael Knieling, VP Sales & Marketing e membro del CDA di snom technology, valuta molto positivamente il tasso di crescita del 443% realizzato dall’azienda proprio durante gli ultimi cinque anni e dichiara: “Ricevere tale riconoscimento per la terza volta consecutiva rappresenta per noi un grandissimo successo, reso possibile, non da ultimo, dall’ottimo rapporto con i nostri partner tecnologici e commerciali.

snom technology semplifica la gestione del VoIP con lo standard TR-069

L’azienda tedesca conferma il suo ruolo di pioniere della tecnologia VoIP integrando lo standard TR-069 per la configurazione automatica dei telefoni IP.

Berlino – snom technology AG, produttore di telefoni VoIP per l’uso professionale, è la prima azienda a supportare la configurazione automatica dei terminali VoIP attraverso lo standard TR-069. Il TR-069 é stato sviluppato dallo “International Broadband Forum” per consentire a diversi dispositivi di accedere ai server di configurazione automatica ottenendo gli ultimi aggiornamenti e le impostazioni di sicurezza.

Con lo standard TR-069, le aziende o le organizzazioni facenti capo alla pubblica amministrazione che impiegano i telefoni snom, saranno in grado di implementare un numero illimitato di interni a costo zero ottimizzando nel contempo la configurazione e la normalizzazione di tutti gli apparecchi. Per altro, i telefoni IP di snom offrono lo “zero touch deployment” (installazione senza intervento diretto); l’utente deve semplicemente collegare il suo telefono alla rete e la configurazione si avvia automaticamente con un risparmio di risorse e di denaro non indifferente, rispetto al notevole dispendio di tempo necessario per il processo di configurazione dei telefoni IP della maggior parte degli altri produttori.

Per l’IT manager, la manutenzione di sistemi telefonici VoIP molto articolati attraverso un sistema di gestione centralizzato ha sempre cagionato costi elevati a causa della complessità delle diverse componenti e delle molteplici possibilità di configurazione dei singoli apparecchi.

“Siamo orgogliosi, quale produttore di fiducia di telefoni IP sicuri, di essere riusciti a semplificare la gestione dei sistemi telefonici di ampie dimensioni impiegando lo standard TR-069 per la configurazione automatica”, commenta Oliver Wittig, VP Sales di snom technology AG. “Per molti produttori di telefoni VoIP integrare lo standard TR-069 non é un compito semplice. Poter offrire ai nostri clienti tale funzionalità non solo ci allieta, bensì conferma la posizione di snom come pioniere della telefonia VoIP.”

snom technology : Premier à intégrer le nouveau standard TR-069

Le spécialiste VoIP propose une gestion facilitée de la VoIP sur la base du nouveau standard
Paris, France, le 14 octobre 2009 – snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP et nouvel acteur sur le marché français, permet l´auto-configuration des terminaux VoIP sur la base du standard TR-069. Ainsi, le spécialiste berlinois est le premier du marché à intégrer ce nouveau standard développé par l’ « International Broadband Forum ». Désormais, les dispositifs connectés aux serveurs d´auto-configuration obtiennent automatiquement les dernières mises à jour et les configurations de sécurité.

Avec le standard TR-069, les entreprises, organisations publiques et opérateurs qui utilisent les téléphones snom sont capables d’adapter tout le parc de téléphones sans coûts considérables, et d´optimiser la configuration et la standardisation de tous les dispositifs en simultané. Les téléphones IP de snom permettent même un déploiement automatique en connectant simplement les téléphones au réseau. La configuration se fait instantanément. Ainsi, les utilisateurs gagnent un temps précieux et font de véritables économies. La majorité des téléphones IP des autres constructeurs dispose d’un système identique mais propriétaire, et qui demande souvent plus de temps aux utilisateurs. Historiquement, pour les administrateurs de réseaux, l’investissement pour gérer les grands systèmes de téléphones VoIP à travers un système de gestion centralisé était considérable. La complexité des différents composants et les multiples possibilités de configuration des dispositifs individuels impactaient alors fortement les budgets.

« Nous sommes reconnus pour la sécurité de nos téléphones IP. Notre objectif était de simplifier la gestion des grands systèmes téléphoniques en utilisant le standard TR-069 permettant ainsi une configuration automatique, » déclare Olivier Gerling, directeur général de snom technology France. « Pour beaucoup de constructeurs, atteindre le standard TR-069 n´est pas facile. Nous sommes ravis de pouvoir offrir cette amélioration à nos clients entreprises mais surtout opérateurs. De nouveau, cela renforce notre position en tant que pionnier sur le marché de la téléphonie VoIP. »

snom vereinfacht mit TR-069 Standard als erstes Unternehmen die Verwaltung von großen VoIP-Anlagen

Die snom technology AG, Hersteller und Entwickler von Business IP-Telefonen, ermöglicht als erstes Unternehmen weltweit die Autokonfiguration von VoIP-Endgeräten für den Business-Bereich über den Standard TR-069. TR-069 ist ein Standard des internationalen Broadband Forum und erlaubt verschiedensten Endgeräten, Kontakt zu sogenannten Autokonfigurationsservern aufzubauen und sich automatisch aktuelle Updates und  Sicherheitseinstellungen abzuholen. Unternehmen und öffentliche Einrichtungen, die snom Telefone nutzen, können dank TR-069 jetzt beliebig viele Nebenstellen ohne Aufwand optimal anpassen und alle Geräte gleichzeitig und standardisiert konfigurieren. Die snom IP-Telefone erlauben sogar sogenanntes „Zero touch deployment“: der Nutzer muss sein Telefon nur noch anschließen und schon ist es automatisch weltweit konfiguriert und einsatzbereit. Die bisher sehr zeitaufwendige Konfiguration – bei den IP-Telefonen der meisten anderer Hersteller noch üblich – entfällt bei den Telefonen von snom, so dass die Anwender Zeit und Geld sparen.

Für Administratoren war es bisher oft sehr aufwändig, große VoIP-Telefonanlagen durch ein zentrales Managementsystem zu verwalten und zu kontrollieren. Grund dafür waren die Komplexität der unterschiedlichen Komponenten und die vielen Konfigurationsmöglichkeiten der einzelnen Endgeräte. „Als anerkannter Hersteller von sicheren IP-Telefonen lag uns sehr viel daran, gerade die Verwaltung sehr großer Telefonsysteme zu vereinfachen und die Autokonfiguration über TR-069 zu ermöglichen“, sagt Oliver Wittig, Vice President Sales EMEA der snom technology AG. „Für viele Produzenten von IP-Telefonen war TR-069  nicht ganz einfach zu realisieren. Dass wir unseren Kunden nun diese Verbesserung bieten können, freut uns sehr und unterstreicht einmal mehr den Anspruch von snom, ein Vorreiter im VoIP-Bereich zu sein“, so Oliver Wittig.

TR-069 has been developed by the International Broadband Forum to enable IP endpoints to contact auto-configuration servers to automatically obtain the latest updates and security settings.

With the TR-069 standard, businesses and public sector organizations using snom phones can customize any number of extensions at no cost and optimize the configuration and standardization of all devices simultaneously. snom IP phones allow “zero touch deployment;” all users need to do is connect to their phones and configuration takes place automatically, saving time and money. With most other IP phone manufacturers the manual configuration process can be costly and time consuming.

For administrators, managing large VoIP systems through a centralized management solution has historically been expensive because of the complexity of the different components and the myriad potential configurations of individual devices. Supporting the TR-069 standard alleviates those issues.

“As a trusted manufacturer of secure IP phones we are pleased to simplify the management of very large phone systems, and use the TR-069 standard to enable automatic configuration,” says Oliver Wittig, Vice President of Sales for snom technology AG. “For many manufacturers of IP phones TR-069 is not easy to achieve. That we can now offer our customers this improvement once again reinforces snom’s position as a pioneer in VoIP telephony.”

Recognized for its high quality, customizable, and cost-effective business solutions, snom is also differentiated by the company’s history in the VoIP industry, and its dedication to high security standards. All of snom’s software exists in the firmware on the phones – making it easier for users to download updates and new features. snom customers benefit from the interoperability and flexibility that the snom telephones offer, including plug and play integration and universal compatibility with any SIP-based telephony platform. Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany, snom technology AG also has an office in Beverly, MA. The company distributes its fourth generation SIP phones through its network of authorized reseller partners in Europe, South America, Asia-Pac, Africa, and Australia.

snom Teams Up with Jazinga for SMB VoIP

snom continues open source interoperability leadership with partnership; Jazinga’s MGA120 IP PBX appliance joins snom’s technology partner program, achieves certification with company’s VoIP phone portfolio

Berlin, Germany and Beverly, Mass. (October 6, 2009)  - snom Technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today it has teamed with Jazinga Inc., maker of an Asterisk-based blended IP PBX and router for small businesses, a technology partnership that continues snom’s leadership in interoperating with open source Asterisk-based VoIP platforms.

Through the pairing, businesses can now use snom’s portfolio of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) phones in concert with Jazinga’s all-in-one MGA120 appliance to ease deployment of VoIP systems and reduce IP telephony costs in the SMB. The interoperability between snom’s suite of SIP based business phones and Jazinga’s MGA120 IP PBX appliance creates a fully integrated end-to-end IP-based phone system for small businesses that blends robust enterprise-class IP PBX and networking features at a dramatically lower price point than alternative solutions.

“We are pleased to be working with Jazinga and believe this collaboration is a testament to snom’s continued leadership in the open source community as we continue to team with best in class platform partners to deliver superior IP telephony solutions to the enterprise and small business markets,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales for snom technology AG. “Jazinga’s MGA120 IP PBX platform offers a compelling set of functionality that addresses a number of key requirements for businesses and enables SMBs to boost productivity while lowering their operating costs.”

Jazinga’s MGA120 IP PBX router is an Asterisk-based VoIP phone system that allows small businesses with up to 20 employees to take advantage of features like wireless networking, WAN connectivity, LAN services, dynamic DNS, e-mail and fax. The Jazinga appliance costs a fraction of other enterprise-grade systems and can be set up in less than 10 minutes via a do-it-yourself set of setup wizards. Additional telephone features offered by Jazinga include an auto-attendant, voicemail, conferencing, call forwarding, unified voicemail-to-email, on-hold music and more. Jazinga also incorporates Quality of Service (QoS) and firewall capabilities.

“Jazinga is excited to join snom’s partner program,” said Gord Wade, Vice President of Sales and Business Development.  “snom’s portfolio of IP endpoints is auto-provisioned with Jazinga’s MGA120 platform enabling non-technical users to manage the phones and system themselves. This provides our small business customers with an intelligent, manageable endpoint that blends rich features and unique style and design.”

The new partnership enables Jazinga users to take advantage of snom’s portfolio of SIP-based commercial-grade VoIP phones, including the snom 320, snom 360 and snom 380, and the new snom 820 and the snom 870 touch-screen phone, all of which integrate with an Asterisk platform. Additional snom products include the snom MeetingPoint conferencing phone and the snom m3 IP DECT phone. Along with interoperating with Jazinga’s IP PBX, snom’s intelligent SIP endpoints also support a variety of unified communications applications including Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS) 2007 R2 via its special snom OCS firmware.

Son répertoire clair et structuré permet d´identifier rapidement chaque utilisateur et offre un espace de stockage d´information important. Le snom 870 supporte le son stéréo avec des fonctions avancées type VAD (Voice Activity Detection) assurant ainsi une qualité audio optimale. Grâce au navigateur XML intégré, le snom 870 permet l´utilisation d´une large gamme d´applications tiers, par exemple transmettre d´importantes informations boursières ou afficher le flux vidéo de caméra IP. Finalement, il dispose d´une connexion sécurisée via VPN, TLS et SRTP, offrant ainsi une solution incontournable pour les télétravailleurs de l’entreprise.

snom OCS édition pour les Communications Unifiées

L´édition OCS de snom est la première série de téléphones VoIP qui offre à la fois les fonctionnalités professionnelles pour les communications d’entreprises, et la flexibilité des standards ouverts.

« Nos clients opérateurs ou entreprises ont besoin d’investissements pérennes. Ils sont passés ou passent encore de la technologie TDM des commutateurs publics ou privés (PABX) à la technologie IP/VoIP », déclare Olivier Gerling, Directeur Général de snom technology France. « Les téléphones SIP sont en plein essor. Cependant nous devons aujourd’hui fournir à nos clients les équipements SIP dont ils ont besoin, et garantir que leur investissement sera préservé lorsqu’ils seront prêts à coupler leur commutateur IP/VoIP aux serveurs de communications unifiés tels que Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

Phybridge and snom technology Align to Deliver End-to-End VoIP Capabilities

Fully Certified Phybridge/snom solution brings highly functional IP Capabilities to the enterprise at a fraction of the cost of traditional solutions

(September 9, 2009)  - snom Technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets, announced today it has teamed with Phybridge, a leading provider of risk-free voice over IP (VoIP) phone deployment infrastructure.  This technology partnership gives businesses the ability to take advantage of the productivity enhancing features of IP telephony with minimal capital investment.

Together, the two companies have conducted rigorous testing and evaluation that demonstrates full interoperability between snom’s suite of IP business phones and the Phybridge UniPhyer, an IP PBX and IP end-point enabler. The plug-and-play nature of UniPhyer allows a business to deploy a state of the art VoIP system while still retaining their legacy analog phone infrastructure – driving down the cost and risk for businesses to migrate to an end-to-end IP-based solution.

The Phybridge UniPhyer overcomes traditional barriers to IP phone migration. It leverages existing telephony cabling as a dedicated voice path, working in parallel with the existing LAN. There’s no network upgrade needed, resulting in lower costs and minimal business disruption. With fewer points of failure, the UniPhyer ensures quality of service.

“snom continually finds new ways to break through communication barriers,” said Oliver Emmanuel, President and Founder for Phybridge. “Whether they’re eradicating static from conference calls or making it easier to manage your contact lists, snom simplifies business communication. Our new partnership with snom gives our customers access to advanced business calling features in a sleek, intuitive package.”

Today, Phybridge customers can easily take advantage of snom’s commercial-grade SIP-based phone portfolio that features its 3XX series (snom 320, snom 360 and snom 370) and new 8XX series (snom 820 and snom 870 touch screen phone).  The snom product suite also includes the snom MeetingPoint conferencing phone and snom m3 IP DECT phone.  snom’s intelligent SIP endpoints can also support a wide variety of unified communications applications including  Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 R2 via its special firmware – snom OCS.

snom technology intègre ses téléphones SIP avec Office Communications Server 2007 R2 de Microsoft

snom OCS edition permet aux opérateurs et entreprises une migration douce SIP/OCS.
Paris, France, le 22 juin 2009 +++ snom technology, spécialiste de solutions et téléphones VoIP, présente sa première version officielle de son logiciel snom OCS edition pour Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2.

Grâce à la nouvelle édition de son logiciel snom OCS edition pour les téléphones snom de la série 3xx, la série 8xx et le snom MeetingPoint, de nombreuses fonctionnalités des Communications Unifiées de Microsoft s´intègrent désormais facilement dans l´environnement informatique et télécoms d´une entreprise. L´édition OCS de snom est la première série de téléphones VoIP qui offre à la fois les fonctionnalités professionnelles pour les communications d’entreprises, et la flexibilité des standards ouverts.

« Nos clients opérateurs ou entreprises ont besoin d’investissements pérennes. Ils sont passés ou passent encore de la technologie TDM des commutateurs publics ou privés (PABX) à la technologie IP/VoIP », déclare Olivier Gerling, Directeur Général de snom technology France. « Les téléphones SIP sont en plein essor. Cependant nous devons aujourd’hui fournir à nos clients les équipements SIP dont ils ont besoin, et garantir que leur investissement sera préservé lorsqu’ils seront prêts à coupler leur commutateur IP/VoIP aux serveurs de communications unifiés tels que Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2. Nous assurons à nos clients une stratégie de migration douce SIP/OCS et non de remplacement : nous supportons trois modes de fonctionnement avec notre nouvelle édition du logiciel snom OCS edition : SIP seulement, SIP et OCS, et OCS seulement. »

Les entreprises qui souhaitent bénéficier des avantages de Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 n´ont plus à renoncer aux fonctionnalités habituelles de leur système téléphonique. Les téléphones VoIP de snom avec le logiciel snom OCS edition peuvent être en même temps connectés à un système téléphonique qui supporte le standard SIP et être utilisés avec Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 : dans ce cas, le mode hybride de snom permet une migration facile de la communication classique vers les communications unifiées.

Pour transférer un appel avec la nouvelle édition OCS de snom, l´utilisateur peut utiliser soit l´interface de Microsoft Office Communicator sur son PC, ou chercher le nom dans l´annuaire Microsoft Active Directory du téléphone snom et transmettre alors l´appel. Grâce à l´intégration avec Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2, l´utilisateur voit à chaque moment le statut de ses contacts. Dans le mode hybride, le téléphone snom transmet l´état de présence de la personne (par exemple ‘Au téléphone’ ou ‘Ne pas déranger’) à l´ensemble des comptes enregistrés (SIP et OCS), y compris pour les comptes SIP des commutateurs sans intégration de Microsoft Office Communications Server.

La large gamme de produits snom propose des téléphones pour tous les besoins de l’entreprise : poste de couloir ou de caisse, poste de collaborateur, poste de manager, poste pour l’accueil téléphonique, conférencier de salle de réunion, etc. Finalement, les terminaux VoIP de snom consomment très peu d´énergie, environ 2 W par heure.

Neue Synergien von VoIP-Spezialist snom und Unified Communications Softwarehersteller ESTOS

Die snom technology AG und die ESTOS GmbH, einer der führenden Hersteller im Bereich Unified Communications Software, haben mit sofortiger Wirkung eine partnerschaftliche Zusammenarbeit vereinbart. Zentraler Bestandteil dieser Verständigung ist der Erfahrungsaustausch zwischen den VoIP-Spezialisten von snom und den Unified Communications-Software-Experten aus Starnberg, der ESTOS GmbH. „Mit dieser Vereinbarung wollen wir unser Fachwissen zum Vorteil gemeinsamer Kunden austauschen“, kommentiert Florian Bock, Managing Director bei der ESTOS GmbH, die Kooperationsvereinbarung. „Mit snom verbindet uns das Streben nach Technologieführerschaft. Durch die Kooperation werden wir auf der Basis perfekt aufeinander abgestimmter Technologien neue Synergien schaffen. Profitieren werden davon jene Unternehmen, die unsere Produkte in Kombination einsetzen. Wir gehen davon aus, dass diese Partnerschaft zu einigen interessanten Projekten führen wird.“

In der ESTOS Middleware ECSTA für snom sind schon erste abgestimmte Leistungsmerkmale verwirklicht. Diese setzt das CTI-Schnittstellenprotokoll von snom in den Microsoft TAPI-Standard um. So lassen sich alle TAPI-fähigen Applikationen mit den VoIP-Telefonen von snom verknüpfen. Damit kann der Nutzer selbst entscheiden, ob er sein snom Telefon über einen Windows PC oder über das Telefon bedienen möchte. Unterstützt werden unter anderem die Funktionen Anruf beginnen, Rückfragen, Makeln oder auch Rufumleitung. ESTOS ECSTA für snom ist als Einzel- oder Netzwerklösung erhältlich.

„Insbesondere die 3rd-Party-Unterstützung, die den Einsatz von snom Telefonen in Unified Communications-Lösungen und anderen Applikationen auch in großen Unternehmensstrukturen erlaubt, ist sicher ein weiterer Schritt in die richtige Richtung“, meint Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand bei snom. „Dies eröffnet beiden Partnern auch zukünftig diverse neue Marktsegmente.“

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von VoIP-Telefonen, ermöglicht ab sofort Telefonkonferenzen in höchster Hi-Fi-Qualität und ohne komplizierte Einwahl-Codes. Erreicht wird dies durch die Integration des Audiokonferenz-Service ZipDX in das Konferenztelefon snom Meeting Point sowie in alle anderen snom Telefone mit klarVoice-Technologie. Der neue snom Partner ZipDX, ein US-amerikanisches Unternehmen mit Sitz in Los Gatos, Kalifornien, ist momentan der  einzige Anbieter von Telefonkonferenz-Services mit Breitbandaudio-Technologie. Neben der sehr guten Sprachqualität profitieren snom Nutzer bei Telefonkonferenzen mit ZipDX auch von einer Dial-Out-Funktion, sehr hohen Sicherheitsstandards und zahlreichen sinnvollen Business-Features. Websharing von Präsentationen während der Telefonkonferenz, Onlineabstimmungen, eine Gesprächsaufnahme als MP3 File oder das Stummschalten von Teilnehmern sind nur einige Beispiele. Auch störende Hintergrundgeräusche wie klingelnde Mobiltelefone oder Emailbenachrichtigungen lassen sich mit den snom Telefonen mit ZipDX-Integration erfolgreich vermeiden.

Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand bei snom, sagt über die Zusammenarbeit mit ZipDX: “Die Kombination der innovativen Audiokonferenz-Technologie von ZipDX mit snom-Telefonen, die mit der klarVoice-Technik ausgestattet sind, bietet Unternehmen jetzt eine völlig neue Sprachqualität für ihre Telefonkonferenzen.” David Frankel, Gründer und CEO von ZipDX, kommentiert die Kooperation mit snom: “Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit snom, einem der führenden Unternehmen in der VoIP-Branche.

Berlin, Germany and North Andover, Mass. (March 4, 2009) - snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, announced today that the company’s VoIP phone portfolio achieved the highest “green” standard in a recent test  against VoIP handset competitors.  snom’s SIP based phones received top marks for being the most energy efficient in head-to-head testing against six other VoIP competitors in a recent lab study conducted by the Research Group for Telecommunication Networks at the Frankfurt Main University of Applied Sciences (FH Frankfurt) in Germany.

Research assistants and engineers at FH Frankfurt tested a total of 23 VoIP phones by seven well-known manufacturers over a three-month period. In every use scenario investigated – idle mode, conversation, idle mode after a conversation, and three-way conference – snom phones had the lowest power consumption in each comparable product class. Companies using snom products are not only saving electricity costs, but are also contributing towards the sustainable use of the earth’s energy resources and keeping with today’s green IT strategy.

“When developing our telephones we have always attached a great importance on implementing sophisticated technology in an energy-efficient manner,” said Dusan Aleksis, head of hardware development at snom. “Keeping power consumption as low as possible has always been one of our most important goals in the development of snom phones.”

The readings taken by the FH Frankfurt research group show that VoIP phones with large illuminated displays generally consume the most power. The display illumination on all of snom’s products is designed to automatically switch off 30 seconds after the phone conversation has ended. In standby mode, the snom 370 uses up to 3.5 watts less than comparable telephones by other manufacturers. To create realistic usage conditions for the different readings, the FH Frankfurt tested the VoIP phone on two different switches: the ALL8084, an eight-port switch 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex, four of these ports with automatic PoE Classification Recognition, and the ALL8089, an unmanaged layer-2 switch with eight Fast Ethernet ports and maximum PoE support on all ports. To obtain additional results, depending on the efficiency of the utilization, the test did not include the changing consumption of the switches.  The test engineers subtracted mean values to allow for the power consumption of the switches.

Unified Communications für snom-Telefone

ESTOS, führender Anbieter von Unified Communications-Software stellt erstmals eine professionelle Middleware für die snom-Endgeräte vor. Zukünftig lassen sich so die snom SIP-Telefone auch im Unternehmensumfeld  mit  Microsoft TAPI-fähigen Applikationen (z.B. Computer Telephony  Integration-, Call Center-, CRM- und ERP-Lösungen) nutzen. Neben einer Einzelplatzlösung steht erstmals – und als absolute Weltneuheit – auch eine Netzwerklösung bereit. Das jüngste Produkt ist unabhängig von jeder Anbindung an die Telefonanlage. ESTOS und snom technology präsentieren die neue Software erstmals auf der CeBIT.

Die neue ESTOS Middleware setzt das CTI-Schnittstellenprotokoll von snom in den Microsoft TAPI-Standard um. So lassen sich ab sofort TAPI-fähige Applikationen mit snom-Endgeräten verknüpfen: Die Kontrolle und Steuerung des snom-Endgerätes mit Funktionen wie Anruf beginnen, Rückfragen, Makeln, oder Rufumleitung erfolgen hierbei über den Windows PC. ESTOS ECSTA für snom ist sowohl mit 32-Bit- als auch mit 64-Bit-Betriebssystemen kompatibel. Das Produkt  ist als Einzel- und auch als Netzwerklösung erhältlich. Die Netzwerkversion ist für den Einsatz in mittleren und größeren Unternehmen konzipiert und ermöglicht echte, sogenannte 3rd-Party-Remote Call Control für die snom SIP-Telefone. Dank 3rd-Party-Unterstützung ist die professionelle Integration von Unified Communications-Lösungen mit snom Telefonen realisierbar. Ein komplett neues Technologiekonzept gewährleistet die komplette Unabhängigkeit der ESTOS Middleware von der eingesetzten TK-Anlage oder dem SIP-Provider. Dies schafft ein breites Einsatzspektrum des ESTOS Produkts. Für den Betrieb in kleineren Büroumgebungen und am Einzelplatz wird die Einzelplatz-Version in Kombination mit der Office Productivity-Lösung ESTOS ProCall One empfohlen.

Die neue Middleware begrüßt Oliver Wittig, VP Sales EMEA von snom: „ Mit der Entwicklung der neuen TAPI-Treiber für unsere snom Endgeräte ist der ESTOS ein echter Coup gelungen. Insbesondere überzeugt die 3rd-Party-Unterstützung, die den Einsatz von Unified Communications-Lösungen und anderen Kommunikationsapplikationen auch in großen Unternehmensstrukturen erlaubt. Dies eröffnet uns zukünftig weitere neue Marktsegmente.“

Die Middleware ESTOS ECSTA für snom ist ab April 2009 für die snom–Endgeräte der Serien 8XX und 3XX ab Version  7.3.4 verfügbar. Der Preis beträgt EUR 529,00 (5-Lizenzen, inklusive MwSt.) für die Netzwerklösung. Beim Kauf von ESTOS ProCall One wird ECSTA für snom kostenfrei mitgeliefert. Die Software ist über  den qualifizierten Fachhandel und spezialisierte Systemintegratoren erhältlich.

Anlässlich der CeBIT 2009 demonstriert ESTOS  die neue Software in Kombination mit Unified Communications-Anwendungen in Halle 13 am Stand A74.

VoIP-Spezialist snom setzt auf Bandbreitenmanagement von SmartShare Systems

snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, und SmartShare Systems, Anbieter von WAN-Optimierungsanwendungen und intelligentem Bandbreitenmanagement mit Hauptsitz in Dänemark, arbeiten ab sofort zusammen. Ziel der Kooperation ist es, die Quality of Experience (QoE) bei der IP-basierten Telefonie weiter zu optimieren. Ganz konkret wird die Zusammenarbeit zwischen snom und SmartShare Systems bereits auf der CeBIT, wo die Berliner VoIP-Spezialisten als Basis der kompletten Netzwerk-Infrastruktur auf dem snom-Messestand (Halle 13, Stand C42) den SmartShare StraightShaper einsetzen. Mit dieser kombinierten Hard- und Softwarelösung für intelligentes Bandbreitenmanagement stellt snom hochqualitative VoIP-Telefonie sicher, auch bei möglicherweise überlasteten Internetverbindungen.

Telefonie ist für die meisten Unternehmen absolut notwendig und von geschäftskritischer Bedeutung. Dass viele Firmen trotz des erheblichen Einsparpotenzials bei den Kosten immer noch auf konventionelle Telefonleitungen setzen und nicht auf Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP)-Telefonie umsteigen, liegt vor allem in der Sorge um schlechtere Verbindungsqualität begründet. Die Kombination der Lösungen von snom und SmartShare Systems räumt diese Bedenken nun aus dem Weg, indem sie die Kostenvorteile IP-basierter Telefonie mit der gewohnten Qualität kabelbasierter Telefonleitungen verbindet. Jesper Knudsen, Vice President of Marketing bei SmartShare Systems, betont: „Wir sind davon überzeugt, dass die Kombination der technisch ausgereiften und hochwertigen Telefone von snom mit dem Breitbandmanagement von SmartShare Systems sowohl für KMUs als auch für Großunternehmen eine hervorragende Lösung darstellt, mit der sich der Wechsel auf VoIP-Telefonie problemlos umsetzen lässt.” Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand bei snom, sagt über die neue Kooperation: „Wir freuen uns darauf, die Vorteile der SmartShare Systems Lösung schon auf unserem CeBIT-Stand nutzen zu können. Wir sind überzeugt, dass SmartShare Systems Produkte aufgrund ihrer zuverlässigen und hochentwickelten Funktionalität – bei einfachster Bedienung – den Bedarf vieler Unternehmen treffen. Die Zusammenarbeit mit SmartShare Systems bedeutet, dass wir unseren Kunden jetzt einen noch reibungsloseren Wechsel zu VoIP-Telefonie ermöglichen können.”
Über SmartShare Systems

„Green-VoIP“ mit snom Telefonen

snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, setzt mit seinen energieeffizienten VoIP-Geräten Maßstäbe beim Stromverbrauch von IP-Telefonen. Eine aktuelle Studie der Forschungsgruppe für Telekommunikationsnetze der Fachhochschule Frankfurt am Main belegt, dass snom VoIP-Telefone im Leistungsverbrauch die sparsamsten sind. Die wissenschaftlichen Mitarbeiter  der FH Frankfurt testeten in einem Zeitraum von 3 Monaten insgesamt 23 VoIP-Telefone von sieben namhaften Herstellern. In jedem der untersuchten Nutzungsszenarien – Ruhemodus, Gespräch, Ruhemodus nach Gespräch sowie Dreierkonferenz – wurde bei den snom Telefonen in der vergleichbaren Geräteklasse der jeweils niedrigste Leistungsverbrauch gemessen. Damit sparen Unternehmen oder Privatanwender nicht nur Stromkosten, sie tragen im Sinne einer zeitgemäßen Green-IT-Strategie auch zum verantwortungsbewussten Umgang mit Energieressourcen bei. Dusan Aleksis, Leiter der Hardwareentwicklung bei snom, sieht in der  Studie die Bestätigung der Arbeit der Berliner VoIP-Spezialisten: „Bei der Entwicklung unserer Telefone haben wir schon immer großen Wert darauf gelegt, anspruchsvolle Technologie energieeffizient umzusetzen. Den Stromverbrauch der Geräte so niedrig wie möglich zu halten, ist dabei  immer ein wichtiges Entwicklungsziel.“

Die Messungen der Forschungsgruppe der FH Frankfurt zeigen darüber hinaus, dass der Leistungsverbrauch bei IP-Telefonen mit großen beleuchteten Displays prinzipiell am höchsten ist. Doch auch hier erweisen sich die Geräte von snom wieder als die sparsamsten – nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil sich die Displaybeleuchtung nach einem Gespräch automatisch nach 30 Sekunden abschaltet. Beispielsweise verbraucht das snom 370 unter Berücksichtigung des Switches im Standby-Modus bis zu dreieinhalb Watt weniger als vergleichbare Telefone anderer Hersteller. Um die üblichen Einsatzbedingungen von VoIP-Telefonen realistisch abzubilden, hat die FH die Geräte für die verschiedenen Messungen an zwei unterschiedlichen Switches getestet: dem ALL8084, ein acht Port Switch 10/100 Mbit Half-/Full-Duplex, davon vier Ports mit automatischer PoE-Classification-Erkennung, und dem ALL8089, ein unmanaged Layer-2-Switch mit acht Fast Ethernet Ports und maximaler PoE-Unterstützung auf allen Ports. Um zusätzlich Ergebnisse zu erhalten, in denen der – je nach Effizienz der Auslastung – wechselnde Verbrauch der Switches nicht mit enthalten ist, subtrahierten die Testingenieure hierfür Mittelwerte für den Leistungsverbrauch der Switches.

“Green VoIP” with snom telephones

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, sets standards with its energy-efficient VoIP telephones when it comes to the amount of energy they use. A study recently conducted by the Research Group for Telecommunication Networks at the Frankfurt am Main University of Applied Sciences (FU Frankfurt) has proven that snom’s VoIP telephones are the most economical in terms of power consumption. Over a 3-month period research assistants and engineers at FH Frankfurt tested a total of 23 VoIP telephones by seven well-known manufacturers. In every use scenario investigated – idle mode, conversation, idle mode after a conversation, and three-way conference – snom telephones were found to have the lowest power consumption in each comparable product class. This means that companies and private users are not only saving electricity costs, but are also contributing towards the responsible use of energy resources, in keeping with today’s green IT strategy.

Dusan Aleksis, who heads hardware development at snom, sees the study as confirming the work done by the Berlin-based VoIP specialist: “When developing our telephones we have always attached great importance to implementing sophisticated technology in an energy-efficient manner. It has always been an important goal of our development activities to keep the power consumption of the phone sets as low as possible.”

The readings taken by the FH Frankfurt research group show that IP telephones with large illuminated displays as a rule consume the most power. Yet in this respect also, snom’s products prove to be the most economical – not least because the display illumination automatically turns off 30 seconds after a phone conversation. For example, the switch in standby mode, the snom 370 uses up to three and a half watts less than comparable telephones by other manufacturers. To create realistic usage conditions for the different readings, the FH Frankfurt tested the VoIP telephone on two different switches: the ALL8084, an eight-port switch 10/100 Mbit half/full duplex, four of these ports with automatic PoE Classification Recognition, and the ALL8089, an unmanaged layer-2 switch with eight Fast Ethernet ports and maximum PoE support on all ports. To obtain additional results which – depending on the efficiency of the utilisation – do not include the changing consumption of the switches, the test engineers subtracted mean values to allow for the power consumption of the switches.

snom erhält Deloitte-Award für starkes Umsatzwachstum zum zweiten Mal in Folge

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, erhält dieses Jahr bereits zum zweiten Mal den Deloitte Technology Fast 50-Award als eines der Unternehmen mit dem höchsten Umsatzwachstum der letzten fünf Jahre. In der Kategorie „Kommunikation/Netzwerkbetrieb“ erreichte snom mit 404 Prozent Umsatzwachstum eine Platzierung unter den ersten 30 Unternehmen. Die internationale Prüfungs- und Beratungsgesellschaft Deloitte zeichnete gestern in Düsseldorf zum sechsten Mal die am schnellsten wachsenden deutschen Technologie-, Kommunikations- und Life-Science-Unternehmen aus. Als Basis für die Bewertung dienen die kumulierten prozentualen Umsatzwachstumsraten der vergangenen fünf Jahre. snom liegt mit einem Wert von 404 Prozent weit über dem von Deloitte durchschnittlich ermittelten Wert. Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand bei snom, freut sich über die Auszeichnung: „Diesen Preis zum zweiten Mal in Folge zu erhalten ist für uns ein großer Erfolg, der nicht zuletzt dank der hervorragenden Zusammenarbeit mit Technologie- und Vertriebspartnern möglich wurde. Er zeigt uns, dass wir von Beginn an innerhalb der VoIP-Branche mit dem offenen SIP-Standard und den hohen Sicherheitsstandards genau auf die richtigen Technologien gesetzt haben, die der Markt verlangt.“

Der Fast 50-Award wird seit 2002 in Deutschland verliehen. Dass snom als mittelständisches Unternehmen innerhalb des noch relativ jungen VoIP-Marktes den Preis nach 2007 jetzt zum zweiten Mal erhält, ist für Dr. Knieling vor allem das Ergebnis einer erfolgreichen Teamarbeit: „Die Auszeichnung bestätigt die jahrelange harte Arbeit des hochmotivierten snom-Teams aus Entwicklern, Vertriebs- und Marketingprofis.“ Um sich für den Fast 50-Award zu qualifizieren, müssen Unternehmen folgende Kriterien erfüllen: Umsatzerlöse werden zu großen Anteilen durch selbst entwickelte Technologie erzielt, erhebliche Teile der Erlöse werden in Forschung und Entwicklung investiert; Umsatzerlöse betragen für das Wirtschaftsjahr 2003 mindestens 50.000 Euro und für das Wirtschaftsjahr 2007 mindestens 1.000.000 Euro; das Unternehmen besteht seit mindestens fünf Jahren und hat seinen Sitz in Deutschland. Als Gewinner des Fast 50-Awards nimmt snom jetzt automatisch am Fast-500-Programm für die EMEA-Region teil.

snom gets Deloitte Award for strong sales growth

For the second time snom Technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-Over IP phones, is to receive the Deloitte Fast 50 Award as one of the companies with the strongest sales growth in the last five years. In the “Communications/Network Operations” category, snom’s 404 percent sales growth rate gave it a place among the top 30 companies. In Düsseldorf yesterday Deloitte, the international auditors, announced its sixth annual awards for the fastest growing German companies in the technology, communications and life science sectors. The basis for the evaluation of the companies is the average sales growth rate in per cent for the last five years. At 404% snom is well above the average rate calculated by Deloitte. Dr. Michael Knieling, snom Board Director for Marketing and Sales, is delighted with the award: “To get this prize for the second time running is a great honour for us, and it is largely due to the excellent collaboration we enjoy with our technology and sales partners. It shows us that, in applying the public SIP standard and the high safety standards in the VoIP sector from the very beginning; we chose exactly the right technologies – the ones the market requires.”

The Fast 50 Award has been run in Germany since 2002. The fact that snom, as a medium-sized company in the still relatively young VoIP market, has now received the prize for a consecutive year running, in Dr. Knieling’s view, the result of successful teamwork: “The award is recognition of years of hard work by snom’s highly motivated team of development, sales and marketing professionals.”

To qualify for the Fast 50 Award, companies have to meet the following criteria: sales revenue must be generated for the most part by self-developed technology; a substantial proportion of revenue must be invested in research and development; sales revenue must have been at least € 50,000 for 2003 and at least € 1 million for the 2007 fiscal year; the company must have existed and have had its registered office in Germany for at least five years. As a winner of the Fast 50 Award snom will now be put forward for the Fast 500 Program for the EMEA region.

snom 820 kombiniert ausgereifte VoIP-Technologie mit exklusivem Design

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, stellt jetzt ihr neues VoIP-Business-Telefon snom 820 vor. Das SIP-basierte snom 820 kombiniert ausgereifte VoIP-Technologie mit exklusivem Design und setzt dabei technisch und optisch neue Maßstäbe. So verfügt das snom 820 über ein hochauflösendes TFT-Farbdisplay, das die Darstellung von Anruflisten, Adressbüchern, Anruferinformationen und anderen Anwendungen optimiert – per integriertem XML-Browser sind sie direkt über das Display zugänglich. Der Telefonhörer mit integrierter Breitbandtechnik garantiert eine High-End-Sound- und Sprachqualität, die den Usern das Gefühl vermittelt, ihr Gesprächspartner befände sich im gleichen Raum. Im Freisprechmodus unterdrückt ein Class-D-Amplifier zuverlässig alle Störgeräusche. Außerdem unterstützt das snom 820 den Wi-Fi-Standard 802.11 und bietet so alle Vorteile der Wireless-Mobilität. Das neue snom 820 ist mit allen gängigen Business-Funktionen ausgestattet – von Dreierkonferenzen über polyphone Klingeltöne bis hin zu zwölf verschiedenen SIP-Identitäten pro Telefon. Zudem erfüllt das snom 820 höchste Sicherheitsansprüche für den Business-Einsatz: Das VoIP-Telefon ist nicht nur VPN-fähig, es unterstützt auch SRTP- und TLS- Sicherheitsstandards, die das Cracken und Mitschneiden von Daten wirkungsvoll verhindern.

Hohe Usability bietet das neue snom 820 gleich in zweifacher Hinsicht: Zum einen ist die Benutzeroberfläche übersichtlich gestaltet und intuitiv bedienbar, zum anderen sorgt der duale 33- bzw. 55-Grad-Winkel des Telefons dafür, dass alle Bedienelemente optimal erreichbar und stets gut sichtbar sind. Das snom 820 für den professionellen Business-Einsatz ist das erste Modell einer neuen Produktlinie, die parallel zur bewährten snom 300er VoIP-Telefonserie entsteht. Mit der neuen Produktlinie adressiert snom anspruchsvolle Nutzer, die ein VoIP-Telefon suchen, das umfangreiche Funktionalitäten mit exklusivem, zeitlosem Design verbindet. Darum hat snom bei der Gestaltung des 820 wieder mit dem renommierten Industriedesigner Martin Spangenberg zusammengearbeitet. Spangenberg war bereits für das Design der erfolgreichen Telefone snom 100 und 200 von snom verantwortlich.

snom 820 combines mature VoIP technology with exclusive design

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, is launching its new VoIP business telephone, the snom 820. The SIP-based snom 820 combines mature VoIP technology with exclusive design to set new technical and aesthetic standards.

The new snom 820 has a high-resolution TFT color display that optimises the presentation of call lists, address books, caller information and other applications. This data is provided through the integrated XML browser and accessed directly by the user via the display screen.

The telephone receiver’s integrated broadband technology guarantees high-end sound quality and voice clarity that give users the feeling they are speaking with someone in the same room. In loudspeaker mode, a Class D amplifier reliably supresses all interference. Moreover, the snom 820 supports WiFi standard 802.11, thereby offering all the advantages of wireless mobility. The new snom 820 comes equipped with all the standard business functions - from three-way conferences and multiple ring tones to twelve different SIP identities per phone. In addition, the snom 820 satisfies the highest security standards for the business world. The VoIP telephone is not only VPN capable but also supports SRTP and TLS security standards that effectively prevent the recording and the sniffing of data.

The new snom 820 offers high usability in two different respects. First, the user interface makes it easy to manage calls, and guides the user intuitively through the numerous functions. Second, the dual 33 or 55 degree angle of the telephone ensures that all the operating elements are within optimal reach and always readily visible. The snom 820 for professional business use is the first model of a new product line that is appearing in addition to the already established snom 300 VoIP telephone series. With its new product line, snom is addressing sophisticated users who are looking for a VoIP telephone that combines an extensive range of functionalities with an exclusive timeless design. In crafting the 820, snom worked with the renowned industrial designer Martin Spangenberg who also designed snom’s successful 100 and 200 series of VoIP telephones.

snom technology cavalca il crescente mercato VoIP in Italia

Piccole, medie e grandi imprese sono sempre più consapevoli degli enormi vantaggi economici ed operativi offerti dalla Unified Communication tramite protocollo IP. La tecnologia VoIP (Voice over IP) si sta diffondendo in Italia: qui il mercato è in forte espansione al contrario agli altri Paesi, dove ormai il VoIP è parte integrante degli investimenti IT. In Italia, le prospettive di risparmio e le numerose funzionalità offerte dalla piena convergenza di dati e voce sono sempre più apprezzate, specialmente a livello di grandi imprese, dove il VoIP rappresenta un utile strumento per l’ottimizzazione delle comunicazioni aziendali.

snom technology AG, specialista in telefonia VoIP, ha naturalmente tratto vantaggio da questo trend positivo del mercato: il fatturato dell’azienda nei primi 6 mesi dell’anno è triplicato in confronto a quello dello stesso periodo dell’anno scorso: “Le nostre prospettive per il 2008 sono più che ottimistiche”, conferma Oliver Wittig, VP Sales Emea di snom.

Accanto alle numerose funzionalità offerte dai telefoni ed all’elevata attenzione alla sicurezza di snom technology, una delle colonne portanti del successo dell’azienda in Italia è la strategia commerciale adottata, basata su un modello 2-tier.  Di questa strategia fa parte altresì un processo di certificazione per i rivenditori snom intenzionati ad ottenere un elevato know-how sui dispositivi VoIP. Per la vendita dei suoi prodotti, snom technology fa affidamento su un distributore competente, Allnet Italia, e su una solida rete di oltre 100 rivenditori, di cui fanno parte sia system integrator Asterisk® e VAR con conoscenze approfondite della tecnologia VoIP, a cui si affidano grandi imprese, università e Pubbliche Amministrazioni, sia rivenditori di hardware con poche o nessuna conoscenza del VoIP, attratti dalle allettanti possibilità offerte dal “nuovo” settore di mercato. “In particolar modo le Pubbliche Amministrazioni si stanno adeguando alla nuova normativa nazionale che prevede una graduale migrazione al VoIP per tutto il settore pubblico”, commenta Wittig.

Forte di dieci anni di esperienza nel settore della telefonia VoIP, certificata da numerosi riconoscimenti internazionali e pronta per l’applicazione dell’Unified Communication grazie all’interoperabilità recentemente annunciata con Microsoft OCS, snom technology sta guadagnando sempre più fette di mercato in Italia, grazie ai numerosi sforzi commerciali e di marketing, ripagati dall’incremento registrato nel fatturato e dal sempre crescente numero di rivenditori che richiedono snom per grandi installazioni (oltre i 100 dispositivi).

“Il successo di snom technology in Italia ci dimostra che anche in questo Paese l’utenza aziendale non vuole scendere a compromessi in tema di sicurezza, feature, stabilità ed interoperabilità dei dispositivi VoIP da implementare: una tendenza di cui non possiamo che essere molto soddisfatti”, conclude Wittig.

snom technology parteciperà al Broadband Business Forum che si terrà a Roma dal 2 al 4 dicembre 2008.

snom Partners with SIPGear

SIPGear’s iPBX Achieves Full Certification as Tested and Interoperable with snom 3XX series VoIP Phones

Berlin, Germany and North Andover, Mass. (September 10, 2008) snom Technology AG (www.snom.com), a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced Voice over IP phones for enterprise and residential markets announced today integration of its SIP-based phone portfolio with Swedish-based IP PBX manufacturer SIPGear.  After rigorous testing and evaluation,  SIPGear’s  iPBX received full certification by snom as interoperable and deployable with snom 3xx series VoIP phones and the new snom m3 IP DECT mobile phone.

With the certification of SIPGear iPBX, snom adds yet another standards-based, feature-rich and affordable IP PBX to its portfolio of interoperable VoIP partners.  SIPGear and snom began their affiliation at the VON Show in Stockholm 2007, and the two companies collaborated for the first time in 2007 on a joint deployment for the Swedish publishing company Direktpress AB. The two companies plan to collaborate further in the future both in the areas of business development and technology integration to make it easier for customers to install and maintain snom phones with SIPGear iPBX, thus providing a feature-rich and easy-to-manage telephony environment.

“We are pleased to have  SIPGear, one of Sweden’s cutting edge telecom  companies, join the snom partner program and have its SIPGear iPBX achieve full certification as being tested, interoperable and ready to deploy with snom’s portfolio of SIP VoIP phones,” said Dr. Michael Knieling Executive VP of Marketing and Sales. “The joint snom-SIPGear solution is an ideal fit for businesses needing an IP telephony solution that blends value, advanced calling features and ease of use.”

snom’s 3xx series (snom 300, 320, 360 and 370) are the industry’s premier, business-class, open, standards-based SIP VoIP phones and feature a global executive design and styling with a large high-resolution display screen, programmable function keys and advanced business calling features.  The snom m3 IP DECT is the company’s first cordless offering and provides an optimal VoIP communications system for the home office, SMB or enterprise. The new mobile VoIP phone features an elegant design and advanced mobility without compromising audio quality.  Since the company’s inception in 1996, snom has been a leading proponent of open standards and is interoperable with the broadest array of IP telephony platforms. snom phones offer the most comprehensive VoIP security including support for TLS and SRTP protocols and VPN capabilities.  The SIP telephones can support several audio devices simultaneously, such as the handset & headset, hands-free and power over Ethernet.

snom is a premier developer of advanced, intelligent VoIP handset technology and we believe the combination of SIPGear’s iPBX tightly integrated with snom’s SIP phones give both small and medium sized business (SMBs) and enterprise customers a feature-rich, reliable and affordable business telephony solution that blends advanced VoIP technology with superior ease of use,” said Annika Stenbom, Marketing Director for SIPGear.  “This certification highlights that our joint solution is fully tested and ready for installation and deployment by any business large or small.”

SIPGear´s iPBX comes in four different models, SG10, SG30, SG100 and SG250, from ten to 250 users per PBX that also can be grouped together as one large PBX anywhere in the world. All four offers the same feature rich standard functionality with e.g. auto attendant, IVR, ACD, LCR, CDR, Unified Messaging, voicemail, remote users/offices and presence for an automatic audio answer of employees´ availability etc. .  Optional modules are Mobile Extension enabling an employee to use their cell phone as an  office extension, TAPI for Click-and-Dial functionality in e.g. MS Outlook or any other TAPI compliant CRM system. For advanced and customized functionality, SIPGear offers a Scripting module where a business can integrate its iPBX into its other business applications through the writing of scripts that interact with other computer systems in the company. For instance placing incoming calls into special queues by looking up numbers in external databases or when employees log in to an ACD-queue on the snom phone the script writes to the database in the payroll system.

snom klarVoice Delivers the Next Generation of VoIP Sound

new high fidelity VoIP handset technology debuts in North America to provide crystal clear voice communications

Berlin, Germany and North Andover, MA (July 14, 2008) snom technology AG, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced Voice-over-IP phones for the commercial and residential markets, announced today the next generation of voice: snom klarVOICE. This wideband handset, which can be adapted to all snom VoIP telephones, captures more than twice the spectrum of voice frequencies than standard phones enabling phone conversations with greater clarity and richness.   

“Telephones have remained unchanged for so long, most people have no idea what limitations they have lived with,” explains Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive VP of Marketing and Sales. “But VoIP also lays the groundwork for a revolution in the quality of voice we communicate with!”

The new snom klarVOICE handset works with the codec G.722. This codec is able to shrink the bit rate of the voice channel down to 12.65 kbps, offering excellent quality. In standard narrowband VoIP calls, the voice signal is sampled at 8,000 times per second, resulting in an effective voice pass-band of about 200 to 3,300 Hz. The new wideband handset offers a doubled sample rate, providing an effective pass-band of 50 to 7,000 Hz.

Use of snom klarVOICE results in a much higher fidelity voice call, more akin to talking to someone in the same room rather than over a phone.

Pricing and Availability

The snom klarVOICE  handset, which can be adapted to any existing snom 3xx series VoIP phone (snom 300, 320, 360, 370) using snom’s latest firmware release (Version7.1.33), is available for an MSRP of  US$32.50. snom 3xx series are the industry’s premier, business-class, SIP VoIP phones and feature a global executive design and styling with a large, high-resolution greyscale display screen, programmable function keys and advanced business calling features.

snom technology AG, produttore di telefoni VoIP avanzati per aziende e privati dà il via a partire dalla metà di luglio ad un’iniziativa studiata appositamente per neofiti del VoIP: una serie di training che si terrà in tutto il mondo concernente l’installazione di impianti telefonici Asterisk in combinazione con i telefoni snom. La partecipazione a tali corsi é collegata all’acquisto di un “Novice Bundle“ (dettagli all’indirizzo http://www.snom.com/en/produkte/snom-asterisk-bundle/)

La serie di training inizierà il 17 luglio a Berlino e continuerà presso i partner commerciali di snom in Italia (presso Allnet Italia il 4 settembre ed il 16 ottobre), Austria (IPAustria), Svizzera (Shark Distribution), Spagna (EUREPSIP), Australia (Noojee Telephony und Digital Techniques) ed Hong Kong (Digital Techniques Asia). Oliver Wittig, VP Sales EMEA di snom, conferma l’ottima risonanza ottenuta da questa serie di eventi ancora prima dell’annuncio ufficiale: “Il grande interesse per corsi che trattano l’installazione d’impianti telefonici Asterisk in concomitanza con i telefoni snom ci mostra che con questi eventi colmiamo una grande lacuna.“

Uno dei problemi che i tecnici delle telecomunicazioni si trovano ad affrontare in sede di installazione di centralini VoIP e rispettivi telefoni consiste nel verificare, innanzi tutto, il congruo numero di funzioni disponibili. Con questi training introduttivi snom intende supportare gli specialisti, mostrando loro quanto sia semplice impostare una solida configurazione VoIP di base con un impianto Asterisk e telefoni snom. „Osservando alcuni principi di base, una tale installazione é tanto semplice quanto l’impostazione di un impianto ISDN o DSL“, sottolinea Wittig.

I telefoni VoIP di snom integrano elevatissimi standard di sicurezza e sono dotati di un congruo numero di funzioni aggiuntive, studiate per ottimizzare la comunicazione quotidiana in ambito aziendale. Gli utenti snom beneficiano notevolmente dell’interoperabilità e flessibilità dei telefoni, che si integrano facilmente in qualsiasi ambiente basato su SIP.

Die snom technology AG, Spezialist für Voice-over-IP-Telefonie, startet Mitte Juli eine Initiative speziell für alle Neueinsteiger in das VoIP Business: eine weltweite Schulungsreihe rund um die Installation der VoIP Telekommunikations-Anlagen von Asterisk und die VoIP Telefone von snom. snom entspricht mit seinen VoIP Installationsschulungen dem Wunsch vieler Fachhändler nach speziellen Einführungstrainings. Die Teilnahme an den von snom veranstalteten Trainings ist an den Erwerb eines VoIP Einsteigerbundles geknüpft.

Die snom VoIP Trainingsreihe beginnt am 17. Juli in Berlin und wird dann bei den weltweiten snom Partnern vor Ort fortgesetzt – in Österreich (IPAustria), der Schweiz (Shark Distribution), Spanien (EUREPSIP), Italien (Allnet Italia), Australien (Noojee Telephony und Digital Techniques) und Hong Kong (Digital Techniques Asia). Oliver Wittig, Vice President Sales EMEA bei snom, verzeichnet schon vor dem eigentlichen Beginn der Veranstaltungsreihe eine positive Resonanz: „Das große Interesse an den Installationsschulungen gerade in der Kombination von Asterisk TK-Anlage und snom Telefonen zeigt uns, dass wir damit eine wirkliche Lücke füllen.“

Ein TK-Fachmann, der vor Ort die Installation von VoIP Anlage und Telefonen durchführt, hat mitunter das Problem, sich zunächst eine Übersicht über die zahlreichen zur Verfügung stehenden Features verschaffen zu müssen. Mit den Einführungsschulungen will snom die TK-Installateure unterstützen und demonstrieren, wie unkompliziert die Einrichtung einer soliden VoIP Grundkonfiguration aus Asterisk TK-Anlage und snom Telefonen sein kann. „Unter Beachtung einiger Grundsätze ist diese Installation genauso gut und einfach zu realisieren wie im ISDN bzw. DSL Bereich“, betont Oliver Wittig von snom. snom VoIP Telefone zeichnen sich besonders durch ihre hohen Sicherheitsstandards aus und durch ihre Vielzahl an zusätzlichen Funktionen, die die Kommunikation im Geschäftsalltag erheblich optimieren. Anwender von snom Telefonen profitieren dabei von der Interoperabilität und Flexibilität der Telefone: Die Geräte von snom lassen sich in so gut wie jede SIP-basierte Umgebung integrieren. Auch die VoIP TK-Anlagen von Asterisk setzen schon seit 1999 auf den offenen Standard und Linux. Der große Vorteil für die Anwender: die Software ist für jeden zugänglich und entsprechend einfach erweiterbar.

snom launches installation training aimed at newcomers to VoIP

snom technology AG, specialist in voice over IP telephony, is launching in mid-July an initiative geared to all newcomers to the VoIP business: a worldwide series of training events on installing the VoIP telecommunications systems by Asterisk and snom’s VoIP telephones. In offering VoIP installation training, snom is responding to a wish many dealers have expressed for introductory training sessions. Participation in the training snom is organizing is contingent upon the purchase of a VoIP starter bundle.

The snom VoIP training sessions begin on July 17 in Berlin. From there, they will be taken to snom’s partners worldwide – in Austria (IPAustria), Switzerland (Shark Distribution), Spain (EUREPSIP), Italy (Allnet Italia), Australia (Noojee Telephony and Digital Techniques) and Hong Kong (Digital Techniques Asia). Even before the series of training events has actually got underway Oliver Wittig, Vice President Sales EMEA at snom, already notes a positive response: “The great interest in the installation training, particularly in the combination Asterisk telecom system and snom telephones, shows us we are filling a real gap.”

One of the problems facing any telecom specialist installing VoIP system and phones locally is that he must first obtain a general picture of the many features available. In offering these introductory training sessions, snom seeks to support installers and demonstrate how uncomplicated the job of setting up a solid VoIP basic configuration consisting of Asterisk system and snom telephones can be. “When a few basic principles are observed, this installation can be realized just as well and as easily as in ISDN or DSL,” Oliver Wittig of snom points out. Prominent attributes of snom VoIP telephones are their high security standards and the great many additional functions that optimize significantly communication in everyday business. snom telephone users profit from the interoperability and flexibility of the phones. snom devices can be integrated into just about any SIP-based environment. What is more, the Asterisk VoIP systems have been based on the open standard and Linux since as long ago as 1999. The great advantage for users: the software is accessible to anyone, making it easy to expand.

Unified Communications

  • snom Open Communications Solution (OCS) integrates snom 3XX series VoIP phones with Microsoft® Office Communications Server 2007 – making it the world’s first  open standards-bases SIP phone to communicate natively with Microsoft Office Communications Server. The special software release enables snom SIP phone users to access the full range of advanced collaboration and real-time communications features in Microsoft ® Office Communications Server 2007 including presence, instant messaging, web conferencing and enhanced call management features. snom’s 3xx series (snom 300, 320, 360 and 370) are the industry’s premier, business-class, SIP VoIP phones and feature a global executive design and styling with a large, high-resolution greyscale display screen, programmable function keys and advanced business calling features.

The snom Flexor Manager connects with MS Outlook, MS Netsuite, salesforce.com and MS Dynamics. One of the main advantages of the snom Flexor Manager is the fact that this solution does not need a server to be installed – something, most of the other CTI solutions need.

IP Sizzles 2008 is the “must attend” event of the year for Telecom, Data & Networking resellers growing their business with vendor independent, Open Source solutions for IP Communications.

snom klarVOICE eröffnet neue Klangdimension für VoIP-Telefone

Die snom technology AG stellt snom klarVoice vor – eine neue Klangdimension für die VoIP-Telefonie. snom klarVoice ist ein ab Anfang Juli erhältlicher Breitbandtelefonhörer, der den Benutzer mit mehr als dem Doppelten des von üblichen Telefonen gewohnten Frequenzspektrums verwöhnt.

Das snom klarVoice Handset ist leicht an alle snom VoIP-Telefone anzuschließen, nutzt den Codec G.722 PSTN und kommt ohne zusätzliche Hardware aus. Während herkömmliche VoIP Telefone nur ein Frequenzspektrum von 200 bis 3.300 Hz übertragen, sorgt snom klarVoice mit einem Frequenzband von 50 bis 7.000 Hz erstmals für High-End-Klang- und Sprachqualität in der VoIP-Telefonie. “Telefone haben sich seit so langer Zeit nicht mehr verändert – die Menschen wissen gar nicht, mit welchen Beschränkungen sie sich bisher abgefunden haben”, sagt Michael Knieling, Marketing-Vorstand von snom. “Aber Voice-over-IP macht jetzt eine Revolution in der Klangqualität möglich, mit der wir telefonieren.”

Der snom klarVoice Breitbandtelefonhörer verwendet den Codec G.722 PSTN, der die Bitrate des Sprachkanals auf 12,65 kbps reduzieren kann und dennoch eine exzellente Sprachqualität liefert. Bei bisherigen VoIP-Gesprächen in normaler Bandbreite wurde das Stimmsignal mit 8.000 Hz abgetastet, was ein Stimmfrequenzband von 200 bis 3.300 Hz ergibt. snom klarVoice arbeitet dagegen mit einer verdoppelten Samplingrate, was zu einem viel höheren Frequenzumfang von 50 bis 7.000 Hz führt. Für die Benutzer von snom Telefonen mit klarVoice Telefonhörer bedeutet dies eine Sprachqualität, als befinde sich der Gesprächspartner nicht am anderen Ende der VoIP-Leitung, sondern im selben Raum.

The next generation of VoIP sound: wideband voice from snom

snom technology AG, leading developer and manufacturer of advanced Voice-over-IP phones for the commercial and residential markets, announced today the next generation of voice: snom klarVOICE. This wideband handset, which can be adapted to all snom VoIP telephones, allows the capture of more than twice the spectrum of voice frequencies captured by standard phones.

“Telephones have remained unchanged for so long, most people have no idea what limitations they have lived with,” explains Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive VP of Marketing and Sales. “But VoIP also lays the groundwork for a revolution in the quality of voice we communicate with!”

The new snom klarVOICE handset works with the codec G.722 PSTN. This codec is able to shrink the bit rate of the voice channel down to 12.65 kbps, offering excellent quality. In standard narrowband VoIP calls, the voice signal is sampled at 8,000 Hz, resulting in an effective voice pass-band of about 200 to 3,300 Hz. The new wideband handset offers a doubled sample rate, providing an effective pass-band of 50 to 7,000 Hz.

Use of snom klarVOICE results in a much higher fidelity voice call, more akin to talking to someone in the same room rather than over a phone. snom klarVOICE will be available for purchase in July 2008.

Für Nutzer von snom Telefonen: EM-Ergebnisticker und -Tippspiel mit 50 Preisen

Die snom technology AG bietet allen Nutzern ihrer Telefone zur Fußball-Europameisterschaft einen kostenlosen Ergebnisticker direkt auf das snom Telefon. Optional dazu veranstaltet snom auch ein Tippspiel mit insgesamt 50 attraktiven Preisen. Den für den Kunden völlig kostenfreien EM-Ticker plus Tippspiel bietet snom in Zusammenarbeit mit den Spezialisten der bevuta IT GmbH und Ciphron Advanced Security.

Der EM-Service ist für alle snom VoIP-Telefone der 300er Serie verfügbar: 300, 320, 360 und 370 – die Ergebnisse werden immer so konvertiert, dass sie optimal auf die jeweilige Displaygröße abgestimmt sind. Die einzige Voraussetzung: Der snom Nutzer muss sich für den Service unter snom.bevuta.com registrieren und sich gegebenenfalls die aktuelle Firmware herunterladen. Danach erscheint im Menu des snom Telefons der EM-Service und der Fussball-Fan kann sich die aktuellen Spielstände ansehen oder Tipps abgeben.

Der Hauptpreis des EM-Tippspiels ist – was sonst – ein großer Tischkicker, gesponsert vom bekannten snom Platindistributor Allnet. Preise 2 bis 5 sind für den Fußballfan genauso unverzichtbar: 4 Philips Perfect Draft Zapfanlagen. Für die Plätze 6 bis 10 gibt es je einen Weber Grill, wesentlicher Bestandteil jedes Sommerabends. Die Plätze 11 bis 20 erhalten ein DFB-Originaltrikot und von Platz 21 bis 50 darf man sich jeweils über ein 5l-Bierfass freuen. Auch interne Wettbewerbe im eigenen Unternehmen oder in der Abteilung kann man mit dem snom EM-Tippspiel austragen: hierzu wurde eigens eine sogenannte Duell-Funktion implementiert. Auch wer den snom-Tischkicker nicht gewinnt – vielleicht wird er auf diese Weise zum Tipp-Champion in seinem Büro.

Die bevuta IT GmbH, seit Jahren ein Partner von snom, hat den EM-Ticker auf den snom VoIP-Telefonen technisch möglich gemacht. Schon zur Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft vor zwei Jahren hatte bevuta einen WM-Ticker für snom Telefonnutzer realisiert. Die große Neuerung in diesem Jahr: während der Nutzer sich die Ergebnisse im WM-Ticker 2006 noch jedes Mal einzeln abrufen musste, stellt man sich heute den snom EM Ticker 2008 einfach an und die aktuellen EM-Nachrichten werden automatisch aufs Display übermittelt. Dabei gibt es nicht nur Informationen über die Tore, sondern spannende Kommentare zum gesamten Spielgeschehen.

Für das völlig neue EM-Tippspiel zeichnet der snom Partner Ciphron Advanced Security verantwortlich. Ciphron hat das Tippspiel wie ein klassisches Bundesliga-Tippspiel aufgebaut: für ein richtiges Ergebnis nach 90 Minuten bekommt der Tipper drei Punkte, für die korrekte Vorhersage von Sieg, Unentschieden oder Niederlage gibt es je einen Punkt. Wer mit einer 90-Minuten-Vorhersage ganz falsch lag, bekommt gar keine Punkte auf sein Konto. Damit vom Pech verfolgte Tipper nicht schon vor dem Finale aufgeben, gibt es die Möglichkeit, auch noch auf andere Weise Punkte einzufahren: Wer Fragen rund um das Thema Fußball und snom richtig beantwortet, kann sein EM-Punktekonto enorm aufbessern.

For snom phone users: Euro 2008 results ticker and prediction competition with 50 prizes

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of VoIP telephones that are based on the open SIP standard, is offering all users of its phones a cost-free results ticker, directly to their snom phone, to mark the European football championship. As an added option, snom is also organising a prediction competition with a total of 50 attractive prizes.

snom will provide the completely free Euro 2008 ticker plus the prediction competition in cooperation with the specialists at bevuta IT GmbH and Ciphron Advanced Security. The Euro 2008 service is available for all snom VoIP phones of the 300 series: 300, 320, 360 and 370. The football scores will be converted for each model in such a way that they suit optimally each individual display size. The only condition: snom users have to register for the service at snom.bevuta.com and, if necessary, download the latest firmware. Once this is done, the Euro 2008 service will appear in the menu of the snom phones, enabling football fans to keep track of the latest results or predict the outcome of matches.

First prize in the Euro 2008 prediction competitions is – what else? – a large table football game, sponsored by snom’s well-known “platinum distributor” Allnet. But football fans will find prizes 2 to 5 just as enjoyable: four Philips Perfect Draft Systems. Winners of prizes 6 to 10 will receive a Weber barbecue, without which no summer evening is complete. Winners of 11th to 20th prize will each receive a replica of the official Euro finals ball, while winners 21 to 50 can look forward to a 5-litre keg of beer each. Companies, too, can use the Euro 2008 prediction competition to stage in-house or department competitions. A so-called duel function has been specially developed and implemented for this. In this way, tipsters who don’t win the snom table football prize have a chance to become champion predictor in his or her office.

A partner of snom for years now, bevuta IT GmbH drew on its technological know-how to bring the Euro 2008 ticker to the snom VoIP telephones. bevuta had previously realised a snom World Cup ticker for the football world championship two years ago. The big innovation this year is this: with the World Cup ticker 2006, the user had to call up the results individually each time. But with the snom Euro 2008 ticker, the user only needs to turn the ticker on. The latest news from Euro 2008 will be automatically transmitted to his/her display.

snom’s partner, Ciphron Advanced Security, is behind the entirely new prediction competition for Euro 2008. Ciphron has structured the prediction competition like a classic football prediction competition. Three points are awarded for the correct result after 90 minutes, and one point for correctly predicting a victory, draw or defeat. There are no points if the prediction after 90 minutes is completely wrong. But to keep unlucky tipsters from giving up before the final, points can still be collected in another way. By answering questions on football and about snom correctly, it’s possible to give one’s Euro 2008 points score a considerable boast.

snom 370 und SPN 100 von Ciphron – höchste Sicherheit garantiert

Die snom technology AG und Ciphron stellen auf dem diesjährigen Asterisk Tag (26. – 27.05. 2008) auf dem Messegelände Berlin erstmals die äußerst sichere VPN-Lösung SPN 100 in Verbindung mit dem snom 370 vor.

Ciphron (www.ciphron.de) ist einer der führenden Berater im Bereich Open Source IT-Security. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Berliner VoIP Entwickler und Herstellern snom technology AG (www.snom.com) ist das Konzept des Ciphron SPN 100 entstanden, das eine neue Dimension im Bereich Sicherheit erreicht. Auf dem diesjährigen Asterisk Tag auf dem Messegelände Berlin (26. – 27.05. 2008) stellt Hirosh Dabui von snom technology in seinem Workshop die SPN 100 in Verbindung mit dem snom 370 erstmals vor.

„Wir brauchten eine schnelle, gangbare Lösung für unsere VoIP Endgeräte.“ sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Vorstand Marketing und Vertrieb bei der snom technology AG aus Berlin. „Sich an Ciphron zu wenden war sicher der beste Weg, eine hochwertige Lösung zu garantieren.“

Entwickelt wurde die VPN Lösung Ciphron SPN 100 in enger Zusammenarbeit mit den Entwicklern des Berliner VoIP Spezialisten snom. Die Ciphron SPN 100 lässt sich daher perfekt mit dem snom 370 integrieren. Darüber hinaus funktioniert die Ciphron SPN 100 selbstverständlich mit Windows, Linux und Mac OSX. Zudem lässt sich diese Software an jeder SIP Telefonielösung betreiben, ohne eine zusätzliche Infrastruktur zu benötigen.

Und Ciphron SPN 100 ist tatsächlich sehr sicher: die X.509 zertifikatsbasierende Authentifikation, verbunden mit den Verschlüsselungsalgorithmen AES-256, BLOWFISH oder 3DES, garantieren einen sehr hohen Standard. Auch unter schwierigen Bedingungen, wie sie z.B. in Hotels oder an anderen Orten vorkommen können, in denen dem Nutzer nicht der volle Netzzugang gewährt wird, lässt sich die Lösung von Ciphron durch das OpenVPN einfach installieren. Die Einrichtung des sicheren VPN Zugangs erfolgt dabei beim snom 370 tatsächlich über 4 Klicks: URL-Eintragung, Speichern, Neustart, Provisionierung – fertig!

Ciphron hat mit seiner Ciphron SPN 100 Entwicklung eine nutzerlizenzfreie All-in-one-Lösung geschaffen, die auch höchsten Ansprüchen gerecht wird. Die neue SPN 100 von Ciphron ist gerade in Kombination mit dem snom 370 eine der spannendsten Open Source Lösungen der letzten Zeit.

Über Ciphron

Ciphron ist einer der führenden Berater im Bereich Open Source IT-Security. Das Unternehmen wurde im September 2003 von Sebastian Horzela, seinerseits langjähriger Network Security Consultant und Free Software Entwickler, unter dem Namen Horzela Electronic DeVense gegründet.

snom stellt erste SIP-Telefone mit Microsoft OCS Integration vor

Die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, stellt mit der snom OCS edition die ersten VoIP-Telefone auf Basis des offenen SIP-Standards vor, die sich vollständig in die Microsoft Office Communications Server Technologie integrieren. Mit der snom OCS edition lassen sich viele Features aus dem Microsoft Unified Communication Umfeld problemlos im Unternehmen einsetzen.

Um beispielsweise mit der snom OCS edition einen Anruf einzuleiten, kann der Anwender entweder die normale OCS-Oberfläche benutzen oder die Verbindung durch einfaches Klicken auf den Namen im Active Directory des snom Telefons herstellen. Durch die Integration in Microsoft OCS sieht der Anwender zudem jederzeit den Status all seiner Kontakte und kann Dateien direkt aus der OCS Oberfläche verschicken. Damit ist die snom OCS edition die erste VoIP-Telefonreihe, die professionelle Business-Kommunikations-Features wie VPN-Einsätze ermöglicht und dabei die Flexibilität des offenen Standards bietet.

Die snom OCS edition unterstützt den offenen SIP-Standard (Session Initiation Protocol) und arbeitet damit parallel zu existierenden IP-Telefonanlagen. So wird für Unternehmen die sanfte Migration einer hybriden Telefonie-Infrastruktur möglich. Über VPN (Virtual Private Network) können die Anwender mit ihrer snom OCS edition sogar unternehmensinterne Verbindungen zu entfernteren Niederlassungen und Büros herstellen. Die snom OCS edition verfügt über ein großes Display, das der Nutzer auch individuell anpassen kann, etwa durch Grafiken oder hochauflösende Bilder. Das VoIP-Telefon unterstützt die gleichzeitige Verwendung mehrerer Audiooptionen wie etwa Hörer, Headset und/oder Freisprechen. Wie alle snom VoIP-Endgeräte hat auch die snom OCS edition einen extrem geringen Stromverbrauch (ca. 2W/Stunde bei Vollast).

New snom OCS edition enhances business communication

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced the first open-standard native Office Communication SIP (OCS) telephone. The snom OCS edition will be presented to the public for the first time at CeBIT Australia, Sydney, 20-22 May 2008.

The snom OCS edition is the first VoIP phone that provides professional business communication features like VPN use on the basis of open standards. The snom OCS edition phone supports the SIP open standard and works in parallel with existing IP-PBXs to prevent disruption to the existing hybrid telephony infrastructure.

It enables every user to integrate their snom VoIP phones with Microsoft Unified Communications technologies. This means that every user of the snom VoIP phones will be able to use the familiar features of the Microsoft Office Communication Server. The user can always see the status of each of his contacts, and to make a call, the user simply has to click on the Active Directory and the computer places the call. Sending files directly from the OCS is also possible, as is searching for a contact via voice.

The snom OCS edition phone features a large display area to provide users with a clear image of the information on screen. The phone also enables users to customize the display with graphics and high-resolution pictures. It can support several audio devices simultaneously, including handsets, headsets and hands-free units. Like all snom VoIP phones, the snom OCS edition has minimal power consumption (approximately two watts).

With the snom OCS edition, it is possible for the open standards community to enjoy for the first time the benefits of unified communications. Via VPN (Virtual Private Network), the user can even connect remote offices and remote user businesses. The snom OCS edition will debut at CeBIT Australia 2008 this week.

snom startet zur CeBIT 2008 weltweite VoIP-Sicherheitsoffensive

snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice over IP-Telefonen und Vorreiter in Sachen VoIP-Sicherheit startet mit einer offenen Diskussionsrunde

snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice over IP-Telefonen und Vorreiter in Sachen VoIP-Sicherheit startet mit einer offenen Diskussionsrunde
am Mittwoch, 5.3., 15.00 Uhr am snom-Stand, Halle 13, Stand D26

und präsentiert sein neues “snom Hacker shootout”-Programm, das snom künftig zusammen mit Sicherheitspartnern, VoIP-Communities und Individualisten kontiniuierlich ausbauen wird.

Diese VoIP-Security-Spezialisten zeigen die aktuelle Problematik auf und stellen sich den Fragen des Publikums:

  • Mario Heiderich, Entwickler
  • Peter Cox, CEO UM-Labs Ltd
  • Ahmar Ghaffar, Senior Developer (SIP Sicherheit) snom technology AG
  • Hirosh Dabui, Senior Developer (embedded devices) snom technology AG
  • Björn Schwarze, Geschäftsführer, ADDIX Internet Service GmbH

SIP-basierte Telefonie hat sich mittlerweile als Standard in der Unternehmenskommunikation etabliert und setzt sich auch im privaten Bereich immer weiter durch. Audioverschlüsselung (SRTP) und sichere Vermittlungs-Signalisierung (TLS) werden zunehmend auch bei unternehmensinternen Telefongesprächen gefordert. Auch VPN-basierte Telefonie ist längst kein unbezahlbarer Aufwand mehr.

Dennoch: Jedes Jahr werden neue Sicherheitslücken entdeckt und müssen geschlossen werden. Snoms „Hacker shootout”-Initiative soll das schnelle Beheben dieser Sicherheitslücken garantieren sowie die damit verbundene notwendige Aufklärung über das behobene Problem sicherstellen.

snom Presents its First Official and World-wide VoIP Security Offensive at CeBIT 2008

“snom Hacker Shootout” to showcase VoIP security specialists

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, and pioneer in the field of VoIP security, announced today that they will be hosting an open roundtable discussion at the upcoming CeBIT 2008 show,

on Wednesday, March 5th at 3:00 pm at snom’s booth, Hall 13, Booth D26.

snom will present its new “snom Hacker shootout” program, which will bring together security partners, VoIP Communities and experts within the industry.

The following VoIP security specialists will be addressing the current problems facing the industry and answering audience questions:

  • Mario Heiderich, Developer
  • Peter Cox, CEO, UM-Labs Ltd
  • Ahmar Ghaffar, Senior Developer (SIP Security), snom technology AG
  • Hirosh Dabui, Senior Developer (embedded devices), snom technology AG
  • Björn Schwarze, CEO, ADDIX Internet Service GmbH

Audio encryption (SRTP) and secure transport layer signalling (TLS) is growing in demand for internal company phone calls.  Tools to record RTP audio data within a company network are generally available and becoming increasingly simple to use, and VPN based telephony with employees who work from their homes is no longer an unaffordable expense.

Every year, new VoIP vulnerabilities are discovered and remedied.  These vulnerabilities should be fixed quickly and the public informed appropriately. With its new “snom Hacker Shootout” program, snom intends to develop closer contact with the VoIP communities, in an effort to pass on their findings to existing security solution partners.  Through this program, snom will be able to initiate the necessary steps for improvement in response to the concerns of the industry.

VoIP CTI connect: einfache CRM Telefonie Integration mit Client Software ist jetzt möglich

Die Lösung von Camrivox ermöglicht als Client Software einfache, preisgünstige CRM Telefonie Integration ohne zusätzliche Server oder neue PBXs. Die exklusiv für snom-Telefone entwickelte Camrivox’s Flexor CTI Software lässt sich mit CRM und Outlook-Applikationen des Anwenders verbinden. Möglich wird dadurch der Zugriff auf Tools wie zum Beispiel “click-to-dial” oder sich bei Anruf öffnende Popups mit den Daten des Anrufers als Voraussetzung für eine optimale Kundenbindung.

Interop Solution World

Neben Camrivox, Entwickler von CTI Software für CRM Applikationen, und der Winbox Technologies GmbH, führender Anbieter von OEM Technologielösungen für Windows Embedded basierte fernsehorientierte Consumer Electronics Geräte, sind noch diese Unternehmen am snom-Stand präsent:

Epygi: IP PBX-Telefonsysteme mit integrierten Analog- und ISDN Gateways

Webpress: webbell-Telefon- und Kommunikationsplattform

Clara.net: Managed IP Services für Geschäftskunden

bevuta: Spezialist für Asterisk®-Telefonlösungen und Software für snom-Telefone

3CX: Softwarebasierte Telefonsysteme für Windows

Addix: Asterisk®-basierte VoIP Telefonanlagen

IT Synergy: serverbasierte IP PBX -EvolvE

VoIP is Security

snom stellt zum Thema VoIP-Sicherheit mit Partnern gemeinsame Sicherheitskonzepte vor. So bietet etwa Ciphron mit seiner VPN-Lösung den einfachsten Weg, hochsichere Telefonate per OpenVPN zu führen mit dem praktischen Nebeneffekt, dass die NAT-Prolematik umgangen wird. Ingate und UM Labs bieten mit ihren TLS/SRTP-Lösungen klassische VoIP Verschlüsselung.

XML goes VoIP mit snom und Allnet

Dass sich snom-Telefone auch zum Messen, Steuern und Regeln hervorragend eignen, beweist eindrucksvoll die Allnet-Sensorwand mit Schocksensor, Lärmmesser und Bewegungsmelder. Gekoppelt an das Allnet Sensormeter All400 zeigt das snom-Display je nach Wunsch Werte wie Temperatur oder Luftfeuchtigkeit an. Darüber hinaus lassen sich mit den Tasten des Telefons auch Abläufe regeln, etwa die automatische Öffnung der Tür, sobald die Temperatur im Raum eine festgelegte Grenze überschreitet.

VoIP meets TV

Wie vielseitig sich mittlerweile Voice over IP einsetzen lässt, demonstriert beispielsweise die neue Partnerschaft mit der winbox AG. Die winbox Lösung erlaubt es dem snom-Nutzer, eingehende Anrufe, die auf dem Fernseher zu sehen sind, per Fernbedienung anzunehmen oder abzulehnen.

VoIP Guru Talk

Erstmalig veranstaltet snom ein Vortragsprogramm mit Gastrednern zu den verschiedensten VoIP-Themen. Zu den Hauptgastrednern gehören neben den Mitausstellern Addix, bevuta, Camrivox, Clara.net, epygi und webpress.de auch weitere Branchenspezialisten wie Digium, Nortel, Vertico Software, Xantaro und das IP-Phone-Forum.
„Wir wollen zeigen, dass VoIP weit mehr ist als Telefonieren“, sagt Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. „Die Zukunft von VoIP sieht so aus, dass sie aufgrund der größer werdenden Bedeutung von Unified Communications unsere gesamte Kommunikation bestimmt.“

snom technology feiert den “Fast 500 EMEA”-Award von Deloitte für die schnellstwachsenden Technologieunternehmen als deutscher Spitzenreiter in der Kategorie „Kommunikation/Netzwerke“

snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller hochwertiger VoIP-Telefone, hat diese Woche erstmals einen der begehrten Deloitte “Fast 500 EMEA”-Awards in Empfang nehmen können. Die internationale Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Deloitte kürt jährlich im Rahmen dieses Rankings die 500 am schnellsten wachsenden Technologieunternehmen von Europa, Nahost und Afrika und zeichnet sie für ihre unternehmerischen Spitzenleistungen aus. snom belegt Platz 1 unter den deutschen Kommunikations- und Netzwerkunternehmen, schafft es mit seinem Umsatzwachstum von 1312,56% im Zeitraum 2002-2006 in der Liste des Gesamtrankings auf Platz 125 und ist damit zwölftbester aller deutschen Teilnehmer.

“Das hohe Umsatzwachstum bestätigt einerseits das Vertrauen unserer Kunden und Partner in die Qualität unserer VoIP-Telefone, zum anderen zeigt es, dass wir mit unseren Standards die Bedürfnisse erfüllen, die am Markt gefragt sind“, sagt Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. „Wir setzen auch künftig auf Wachstum und Weiterentwicklung der innovativen VoIP-Technologie, damit wir unserer Position unter den internationalen Marktführern der VoIP-Industrie auch in Zukunft gerecht werden.“

Bereits im Oktober dieses Jahres war snom unter den deutschen Deloitte Fast 50 Wettbewerb-Gewinnern und lag mit seinem Umsatzwachstum weit über dem von Deloitte durchschnittlich ermittelten Wert. Diesem liegen beim Deloitte-Ranking immer die kumulierten prozentualen Umsatzwachstumsraten der vergangenen fünf Jahre zugrunde.

vertico software GmbH und snom technology AG: Strategische Partnerschaft, erste gemeinsame Produkt-Bundles

Die vertico software GmbH, Hersteller der komfortablen VoIP-Telefonielösung STARFACE, und die snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller hochwertiger VoIP-Telefone, gehen eine strategische Partnerschaft ein. Ziel der Kooperation ist die Zusammenarbeit bei der Entwicklung und Vermarktung der jeweiligen Produkte. Ein preislich attraktives aufeinander abgestimmtes Gesamtpaket wird ab sofort verfügbar sein.

Im Zuge ihrer Kooperation werden die beiden VoIP-Spezialisten die Funktionsumfänge ihrer Produkte optimal aufeinander abstimmen, um bessere Gesamtlösungen bereitstellen zu können. Als erstes sichtbares Resultat dieser Partnerschaft wird dem Kunden ab sofort ein preislich attraktives Gesamtpaket angeboten, das aufgrund der nahtlosen Kompatibilität zwischen STARFACE und snom-Endgeräten eine reibungslose Inbetriebnahme von VoIP-Telefonanlagen garantiert.

„Der Markt fragt nach einfach zu installierenden und zu betreibenden VoIP-Lösungen für Geschäftskunden, die sowohl vom klassischen TK-Händler als auch vom IT-Händler realisiert werden können. Schon heute können Lösungen für den Geschäftsalltag angeboten werden, die neben den wichtigsten ISDN-Funktionen auch weit darüber hinausgehende Funktionen der neuen VoIP-Welt darstellen. Voraussetzung dafür sind aufeinander abgestimmte und auf offenen Standards basierende Lösungspakete. Durch die strategische Zusammenarbeit mit der vertico Software GmbH können wir diesen Marktanforderungen gerecht werden. Das Potenzial unserer Produkte kommt in der sinnvollen Kombination voll zum Tragen“, erläutert Dr. Michael Knieling, Vorstand snom technology AG.

Die einwandfreie Interoperabilität zwischen Telefon-Hardware und VoIP-Telefonielösungen ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für die Akzeptanz beim Kunden. Das gemeinsam konzipierte snom STARFACE-Bundle, das die beiden Partner unabhängig voneinander geprüft und zertifiziert haben, garantiert dem Kunden eine schnell einsetzbare, harmonische Lösung, die ein hohes Maß an technischer Flexibilität mit sich bringt. Kunden, die sich für das neue Lösungsangebot entscheiden, bleibt der Vorteil der Herstellerunabhängigkeit erhalten. Sobald Bedarf besteht, kann die neue VoIP-Telefonanlage mit kompatiblen Komponenten unterschiedlicher Hersteller beliebig erweitert werden.

Durch die Zusammenführung der Kernkompetenzen zweier unabhängiger VoIP-Hersteller erhält der Kunde mit dem snom STARFACE-Bundle nicht nur einen komfortablen und sicheren Einstieg in die VoIP-Telefonie, sondern auch den Zugang zu einem erweiterten, kompetenten Partnernetzwerk: Zertifizierte Vertriebspartner installieren die Telefonlösung beim Kunden vor Ort und bieten weitergehende Dienstleistungen wie Netzwerkplanung oder die Integration der Anlage in die Unternehmens-IT und -Haustechnik an.

„Das Telefon ist schon lange nicht mehr allein zum Telefonieren da. Immer mehr Unternehmen erkennen, dass eine Entscheidung für Voice-over-IP das herkömmliche Telefonsystem durch intelligente Zusatzfunktionen bereichert. Die neue, veredelte Telefonanlage dient als zentrales Informations- und Steuerungsmedium, für das vielfältige Einsatzbereiche denkbar sind. Sie reichen von der Anzeige detaillierter Informationen aus dem CRM-System zu einem Anrufer, über die Signalisierung von Statusinformationen der Haustechnik oder Produktionsmaschinen, bis hin zur komplexen Steuerung von Klima-, Alarm- und Brandmeldeanlagen sowie Zutrittskontrollsystemen“, erklärt Ralf Ziegler, Geschäftsführer der vertico software GmbH.

Von der gemeinsamen Vermarktung des snom STARFACE-Bundle profitieren Kunden weltweit: „snom und vertico wollen ihre Präsenz auf dem VoIP-Markt nicht nur im deutschsprachigen Raum stärken, sondern auch auf globaler Ebene. Für unsere internationalen Kunden haben wir mit führenden Distributionsunternehmen bereits vertragliche Vereinbarungen getroffen. Das snom STARFACE-Bundle wird über die Allnet GmbH in Europa und über die Seceidos FZE im Mittleren Osten verfügbar sein. Die ersten Gespräche mit einem bekannten VoIP-Distributor in den USA haben wir ebenfalls schon geführt“, berichtet Ralf Ziegler weiter.

Mit seinem Flaggschiff STARFACE bietet das Unternehmen eine serverbasierte Voice-over-IP-Lösung, die insbesondere durch Ergonomie und Usability besticht.

VoIP kombiniert mit DECT und edlem Design eröffnet neue Freiräume im Geschäftsumfeld

snom technology, Hersteller von hochwertigen VoIP-Telefonen, erweitert sein Angebot von VoIP-Endgeräten für Businessanwendungen mit dem neuen snom m3 um VoIP Schnurlos-Telefone.

Als Kombination aus dem Modernsten, was Voice-over-IP derzeit zu bieten hat, der technisch ausgereiften DECT-Technologie und dem anspruchsvollen Design steht das snom m3 für ein Vielfaches an Mobilität im Business-Bereich. Wer im Unternehmen mobil sein muss, hat mit dem snom m3 maximale Bewegungsfreiheit. Die Verbindung von VoIP und DECT bringt die Vorteile beider Technologien zusammen, ermöglicht höchste Sprachqualität und unterstützt die wichtigsten im Geschäftsalltag genutzten Eigenschaften einer Telefonanlage.

“Der Trend geht auch bei VoIP zunehmend in Richtung Mobilität und das Angebot an VoIP DECT-Telefonen für Geschäftsanwendungen ist bisher noch ziemlich begrenzt”, meint snoms Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. “Wir wollen mit dem neuen snom m3 alle VoIP-Nutzer erreichen, die sich am Arbeitsplatz absolut frei bewegen möchten, ohne dabei auf erstklassige Audioqualität zu verzichten”.

Die vielseitigen Business Features sind im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Produkten einmalig. Dazu zählen Dreierkonferenz, Halten, Transfer oder Haltemusik, um nur einige zu nennen. Anrufweiterleitung bei Besetzt, Kurzwahl und ein Adressverzeichnis mit bis zu 100 Einträgen sorgen für optimale VoIP-Kommunikation mit einem Maximum an Unabhängigkeit und Komfort. Dank intuitiver Menüstruktur ist das snom m3 sowohl am Telefon als auch per Web-Browser einfach zu konfigurieren.

Die Basisstation unterstützt bis zu acht mobile Endgeräte mit eigener Telefonnummer (SIP-Registrierung) und bis zu drei parallele Gespräche. Damit ist die Lösung sogar eigenständig für kleine Büros oder Home-Offices einsetzbar. Vorrangig adressiert snom mit dem snom m3 jedoch Unternehmen, die in bestehende VoIP-Installationen mit Tischtelefonen auch mobile Mitarbeiter – beispielsweise im Lager – integrieren wollen. Die DECT-Lösung selbst ermöglicht das Telefonieren innerhalb von Gebäuden bis zu 50 m von der Basisstation entfernt. Größere Bereiche lassen sich mit handelsüblichen DECT-Repeatern abdecken.

Das edle Telefon-Design entwarf der namhafte Designer Sebastian Stroschein / STROSCHEIN PRODUCT DESIGN, Berlin. Bekannt ist er vor allem für seinen Bluetooth Handapparat im Maybach, für alle Mobiltelefonhalterungen inkl. der des iPhones bei Mercedes-Benz und die Handapparate bei Porsche und BMW. “Das erste Mal für snom zu arbeiten war für mich eine große Herausforderung – die Aufgabe war keineswegs weniger anspruchsvoll als die für die großen Automobilkonzerne”, sagt Sebastian Stroschein. “Zudem hat mich snom von VoIP überzeugt und ich freue mich sehr auf dieses Telefon, das mit dem hochwertigen Design die innovative Technik nach außen ´sichtbar´ macht.”

snom bietet Wireless Headset Adapter für seine VoIP-Telefone und damit mehr Freiheit beim Telefonieren

snom technology (www.snom.com), Hersteller von hochwertigen, sicheren Voice over IP-Telefonen, bringt einen Headset Adapter für seine VoIP-Telefone auf den Markt. Damit lassen sich schnurlose Headsets zusammen mit snom-Telefonen optimal einsetzen. Der Headset Adapter eignet sich für die Anwendung im professionellen Umfeld und für VoIP-Nutzer, die auf absolute Mobilität und Komfort setzen.

Der snom Headset-Adapter unterstützt vor allem die schnurlosen Headsets der Hersteller Plantronics und GN. Er ermöglicht die elektronische Rufannahme direkt am Headset. Der eingehende Anruf wird im Headset signalisiert. Das Gespräch lässt sich dann komfortabel direkt am Headset annehmen und beenden.

“Dank der Kompatibilität von snoms Wireless Headset Adapter und unseren Headsets sind Anwender von snom-Telefonen und GN Headsets beim Telefonieren nicht mehr länger an ihren Schreibtisch gebunden“, so Jan McNair, GN Vice President, Geschäftsbereich Office Lösungen.

“Die Mehrzahl unserer Kunden hat es mit unternehmenskritischen Applikationen zu tun und Mobilität macht einen wichtigen Teil ihres Businesses aus“, sagt Joe McGrogan, Director Business Solutions von Plantronics. “Wir beobachten den Markt permanent, um Lösungen zu finden, die die Flexibilität innerhalb dieser Bereiche verbessern, und snoms Wireless Headset Adapter ist für unsere Kunden eine sehr attraktive Option.“

Seit kurzem im Einsatz ist der Headset-Adapter bei der Firma Max ASP, einem Telesales-Unternehmen, das auf Telefonkomfort nicht zuletzt auch aus ergonomischen Gründen besonderen Wert legen muss. Im Rahmen der Umstellung auf Asterisk-basiertes VoIP entschied sich Max ASP für snom-Telefone, kompatible Headsets von Plantronic und GN sowie den neuen snom-Adapter. “Die Umstellung lief hervorragend und dank des snom-Adapters können unsere Agents ohne Qualitätsverlust mit ihren Headsets telefonieren, so wie sie es von der herkömmlichen Telefonie gewohnt waren”, sagt Max ASP-Geschäftsführer Adam Lamont-Brown.

“Kabellose Headsets werden zunehmend beliebter im professionellen Umfeld, vor allem Call Center profitieren von dem größeren Komfort“, meint Dr. Michael Knieling, Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand von snom. “Unser Wireless Headset Adapter dient als Brücke zwischen professioneller VoIP-Telefonie und kabellosen Qualitäts-Headsets.”

Der snom Headset Adapter ist speziell für die Telefone snom 320, snom 360 und snom 370 ausgelegt.

snom ist  Aussteller bei der VoiceCon San Francisco 2007 vom 20.-23. August 2007, Stand 734. Mehr Infos zur VoiceCon: www.voicecon.com/sanfrancisco/.

When the phone receives an incoming call, the ringing tone is signalled through the wireless adapter to the headset. While some traditional headsets require the activation of multiple buttons on both the portal and the actual phone, users of snom’s Wireless Headset Adapter can answer and terminate calls with the touch of a button on the headset itself.

When Max ASP, a telesales and sales process automation company, recently switched to an Asterisk®-based VoIP system, the company decided to use snom phones, and compatible headsets by GN and Plantronics with the new snom Wireless Headset Adapter.

“The transition went very smoothly, and thanks to the snom adapter, our agents are able to make calls using their headsets – without the loss of audio quality experienced during pre-VoIP times,” said Adam Lamont-Brown, managing director of Max ASP.

“Wireless headsets have become very popular in professional business environments, particularly call centers,” said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “Our Wireless Headset Adapter is the bridge between professional VoIP telephony and professional wireless headsets.”

The snom Wireless Headset Adapter is compatible with the snom 320, 360, and 370 phones. For pricing and availability, please visit www.snom.com.

snom will be exhibiting at VoiceCon San Francisco 2007 Aug. 20-23 in booth #734. Additional information on VoiceCon can be found at www.voicecon.com/sanfrancisco/.

snom technology setzt verstärkt auf engere Interoperabilitätspartnerschaften

snom technology  (www.snom.com), Entwickler und Hersteller von hochwertigen VoIP-Telefonen, startet ein neues Interoperabilitäts- und Technologie-Partner-Programm. Ziel des Programms ist es, innerhalb der noch sehr jungen VoIP-Industrie Kunden, Handels- und Installationspartnern leicht und schnell einsetzbare Gesamtlösungen anzubieten.

Der Markt fragt im Bereich der kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen verstärkt „Plug-and-Play“-Lösungen nach, die sich einfach in bestehende Netzwerke und Dienstangebote integrieren lassen. Dafür ist es notwendig, dass snom-Telefone mit den verschiedensten IP-basierten Telefonanlagen, Softswitches oder anderen relevanten Netzwerkkomponenten sowie VoIP-Telefondiensten zertifiziert zusammenarbeiten. Der Vorteil für den Kunden: Er kann damit die beste in seinem Segment nachgefragte Performance für die Gesamtlösung realisieren.

„Mittlerweile gibt es so viele VoIP-Anbieter der unterschiedlichsten Komponenten, dass es für Anwender und Administratoren immer schwieriger wird, den Überblick zu behalten und für die spezifischen Anforderungen die geeignetsten Komponenten auszuwählen“, so snoms Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. „Aber nur dadurch können die Vorteile von VoIP-Lösungen mit Offenem Standard tatsächlich zum Tragen kommen. Auch ist SIP nicht gleich SIP und längst nicht alle SIP-Geräte sind im selben Maße zueinander kompatibel.“

Um Licht in den VoIP-Dschungel zu bringen, bietet die snom-Webseite eine Übersicht aller aktuellen Unternehmen und Produkte, die problemlos mit snom-Technologie einsetzbar sind. Darüber hinaus werden Integratoren, Fachhändler sowie Systemadministratoren der Kunden detaillierte Informationen über die jeweiligen Settings zur Verfügung gestellt. Der Anwender kann sicher sein, dass zum Beispiel bei Interoperabilitätspartnern vorher Zertifizierungen durchgeführt wurden. Diese gibt es derzeit auf zwei verschiedenen Levels, um die Verfügbarkeit bestimmter festgelegter Funktionalitäten zu garantieren. Letztlich stellt snom mit diesem Programm der Industrie aus technischer Sicht „Lösungsbundles“ zur Verfügung.

So unterstützen die beiden neuen Interoperabilitätspartner wie Essence Technology, Anbieter von PBX-Anlagen und Simmicon, Anbieter von Soft-PBXs mit ihren Produkten Basis-Telefoniefunktionen wie Aufbau und Beenden einer Verbindung in verschiedenen Variationen. Für Level Zwei, wie es für Starface PBX oder Pbxnsip gilt, sind Funktionen wie Gespräch, Makeln, Telefonkonferenzen, Statuslampenanzeigen, Anrufbeantworter-Integration oder Haltemusik Voraussetzungen.

Um die technologischen Partnerschaften zu stärken, plant snom künftig eine engere Zusammenarbeit schon in der Entwicklungsphase von Geräten und Lösungen, die bei Lösungen bis hin zu einer gemeinsamen Entwicklung gehen kann.

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Herstellern findet der Anwender die gesamte Software als Firmware auf jedem Telefon, was Updates oder das Herunterladen neuer Features extrem erleichtert. snom Kunden profitieren vor allem von der Flexibilität, die die snom Telefone bieten, inklusive der Kompatibilität zu allen SIP-basierten Telefonsystemen.

snom technology Launches Interoperability and Technology Partner Program

New program addresses market demand for plug-and-play VoIP solutions

snom technology AG (www.snom.com), developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced the launch of its partnership program for interoperability and technology partners. The aim of the program is to offer customers, and trade and installation partners simple, complete solutions within a young VoIP industry.

The market demand for plug-and-play solutions for small- and medium-sized enterprises that can be easily integrated into existing networks and services is on the rise. snom is addressing this demand by ensuring that its phones are able to work with, and are certified as working with, a wide variety of IP-based platforms – resulting in realization of the highest performance, complete solutions possible.

“Right now, there are so many VoIP component suppliers, that it is becoming increasingly difficult for users and administrators to keep abreast of developments and to select the components most suitable for their specific requirements. But going through all of these different component vendors is the only way to currently take full advantage of open standard VoIP solutions,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “If one component is SIP-based, it doesn’t necessarily mean it will be completely interoperable with other SIP-based products, which is why we have created this program - to make installations involving snom’s phones as easy and surprise-free as possible.”

The snom Web page offers an overview of current companies and products that can be used with snom phones and with each other without any difficulties. In addition, the site displays whether interoperability partners have completed certification procedures that are currently available on two different levels and can be viewed at http://wiki.snom.com/wiki/index.php/Interoperability#SIP_PBX. Detailed information on the respective settings is also provided for integrators, specialist dealers and system administrators. From a technical standpoint, this new program ultimately offers solution bundles by the industry.

Essence, supplier of PBXs, and Simicomm, supplier of soft PBXs, are among the first companies to join snom’s new interoperability partner program on the first level; this level supports basic telephony functions, such as initiating and terminating calls. Prerequisites for the next partner level, which includes companies such as Starface PBX and pbxnsip, are functions like transferring a call, call waiting, Music on Hold, LED status indicators, and integration of answering machines.

In order to strengthen these technological partnerships, snom is planning to begin working more closely with partners in the planning stages of phones and their roles in complete solutions moving forward - resulting in more of a joint development solution.

snom will be exhibiting at VoiceCon San Francisco 2007 Aug. 20-23 in booth #734. Additional information on VoiceCon can be found at www.voicecon.com/sanfrancisco/.

snom technology startet internationales Partnerprogramm für Distributoren und VARs

snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller von hochwertigen VoIP-Telefonen, ermöglicht es Distributoren und Value Added Resellern ab sofort, an seinem neu entwickelten Partnerprogramm teilzunehmen. Ziel dieses Programms ist es, gemeinsam mit Vertriebspartnern weltweit snom-Kunden einen optimalen Service bei der Einführung von IP-basierten Telefonielösungen im Geschäftsalltag zu bieten.

Distributoren werden künftig entsprechend ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit beim Vertrieb von snom VoIP-Telefonen in verschiedenen Systemkonfigurationen in drei Kategorien eingeteilt (Distributoren, Gold Distributoren, Platin Distributoren) und profitieren jeweils von speziellen snom-Leistungen.

Erhalten Distributoren ohne weitere Qualifizierung ein Webseitenlisting sowie Second Level Support, nehmen Gold-Partner darüber hinaus jährlich an speziellen Trainings teil und werden durch branchenspezifisches Marketing unterstützt. Platin-Partner erhalten zusätzlich direkten technischen Support. Alle Partner bekommen Zugriff auf Firmware-Updates vor Veröffentlichung und auf neue Produkte schon in der Betaphase. Für VARs gilt eine zweiteilige Klassifizierung in registrierte und zertifizierte VARs.

“Wir hatten die Intensivierung unserer Partnerschaften schon lange auf der Agenda. Dabei ging es vor allem darum, einheitliche und verbindliche Voraussetzungen für die Zusammenarbeit zu schaffen“,  sagt snoms Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. „Kunden aber auch Fachhändlern und Systemintegratoren ermöglicht das mehr Transparenz hinsichtlich der Leistungsfähigkeit unserer Distributionspartner.“

So sind die Partner zu regelmäßigen jährlichen Schulungen verpflichtet, die snom vor Ort anbietet. Bereits fest geplant für das zweite Halbjahr 2007 sind Schulungsveranstaltungen in Dallas (USA), Rom, Madrid, Johannesburg (Südafrika), Berlin. Schulungen für Distributoren und Fachhändler incl. Tests sind auch per Webinar möglich.

Erst kürzlich erhielt snom zusätzliche finanzielle Mittel durch Beaufort Capital, einer Private Equity Gesellschaft mit Sitz in Hamburg, um damit seine weltweiten Marketing- und Salesaktivitäten intensiv auszubauen.

snom Announces Compatibility with Third Lane PBX Manager

Both Companies’ Products Available Through ABP Technology for One-Stop VoIP System Shopping

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced that its phones are supported by Third Lane Technologies’ PBX Manager, software developed for Asterisk® or Asterisk Business Edition™. As a distributor for both snom and Third Lane, ABP Technology offers customers one-stop shopping for a complete, user-friendly VoIP telephony system.

“Our goal is to make VoIP telephony implementations – regardless of size – as easy as possible for solution providers and end users,” said Alex Epshteyn, president of Third Lane Technologies. “Given the highly configurable, SIP-based nature and various applications available through snom’s phones, they are an ideal match for our PBX Manager. With Third Lane and snom both targeting markets worldwide, this as a great opportunity to open new doors for us while aiding in snom’s expansion efforts as well.”

PBX Manager provides a Web management interface for Asterisk that greatly reduces the time and effort required to configure and manage Asterisk-based PBXs. While providing a simple interface for the day-to-day PBX management, this software does not limit users in implementing of custom features and advanced customizations. PBX Manager eases phone configuration through its template-based format – allowing solution providers and end users to develop one file that can be used in company-wide configurations rather than having to manually configure each phone individually.

“snom has always believed the customer has the right to choose which products and services will best fit their specific needs; that’s why we have been focusing so heavily on certified interoperability across all VoIP system components in recent months,” said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “With Third Lane’s PBX Manager now supporting our phones, snom’s phones have become an even more attractive choice than they were before.”

All snom VoIP telephones, including the 300, 320, 360 and 370, are highly configurable and easy to manage through the keypad-cursor, dedicated function keys and menus, or Web browser, and offer user-friendly features like full-programmable keys and downloadable ringtones. snom phones offer a complete implementation of the IETF’s latest recommendations for standards-based authentication and content security (SIP(s)/sRTP).

“We take pride in the fact that, when customers come to us, they have their choice of the highest quality products available on the market,” said Robert Messer, president of ABP Technology. “We have been a distributor for snom for six years now and just signed an agreement with Third Lane earlier this month. VoIP is the biggest killer application out there, and snom and Third Lane have both been actively pursuing verified compatibility with complementary players in the industry. Both companies are well-positioned to strengthen their traction worldwide.”

snom and Third Lane will be exhibiting at ABP Technology’s reseller conference, IP Sizzles 2007 in Dallas, July 23-26. Additional information on IP Sizzles can be found at www.abptech.com/ipsizzles2007.

snom Releases Phone Featuring VPN Security

snom 370 features unrivalled security through VPN direct access capabilities

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced the availability of its recently launched IP business phone, the snom 370. Now shipping through authorized distributors, the snom 370 IP phone features advanced VPN security measures that provide complete voice traffic protection.

The snom 370 increases VoIP security by acting as a VPN client – enabling encrypted tunnels for all voice traffic between the snom phones and the company IP PBX. The new VPN feature also eliminates all Network Address Translation (NAT)-traversal issues often experienced with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). For example, with the snom 370 functioning as a VPN, remote devices are easily integrated into an office network without the need of a NAT traversal solution. This enhancement is particularly valuable for security-sensitive installations, such as those involving public safety, as it is now possible to have all snom 370 phones on the LAN use VPN technology.

“Most PBXs do not support application layer security functions like SRTP, TLS or SIPS, included in most VoIP phones. Our new VPN capability ensures that all voice traffic is encrypted and protected, regardless of a company’s PBX limitations,” said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “Most IT professionals are more familiar with VPN infrastructure, making it easier for them to configure and deploy the 370 on their networks. We’re finding our customers are thrilled to be able to leverage existing VPN infrastructure and technical know-how.”

In addition to larger enterprise settings, the snom 370 is also an ideal solution for remote branch offices, small offices and home offices. Providing users with the flexibility and features needed to maximize productivity and efficiency in a business environment, the 370 also features a larger display with built-in greyscales, and an expanded memory for increased application support such as presence indication and presence displays of other users.

The snom 370 allows users to customize the display by depicting graphics and high resolution pictures to show the status of contacts. The snom 370 can support several audio devices simultaneously, such as the handset, headset and loudspeaker. The multicast paging mode makes it possible to use the phone for large-scale public announcements. This is in addition to providing the ability to broadcast text messages to all snom phones in an installation. With its broadcast capabilities, snom phones can now be part of security solutions fit for public emergency situations.

The MSRP of the snom 370 is $299 USD and is currently available for purchase. snom phones support standards-based SIP VoIP protocols and many widely used Voice over Internet IP PBX features and functions. All snom phones are compatible with SIP-based telephone systems and system components, including open source platforms as well as proprietary solutions – providing business telephones for all types of businesses, from SMBs to large-enterprise and hosted environments. Product images are available for download at the following link:

snom technology Named to the 2007 “Pulver 100”

Pulver recognizes snom phones for outstanding performance in an enterprise setting

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced that it has been named to the 2007 “Pulver 100″ – which is the IP Communications industry’s premier listing of privately-held growth companies that represent the future of the IP-voice and video communications ecosystem. This marks the second year that snom has been named to the list, resulting from the outstanding performance of the snom family of phones in an enterprise setting.

snom’s ten-year history in the VoIP and networking industry sets the company apart from competitors. Because of this experience, snom understands the many components of a VoIP network – the end point being the telephone itself. All of snom’s software exists in the firmware on the phones – making it easier for users to download updates and new features.

snom is committed to closely following IETF recommendations for SIP and ancillary open IP telephone standards – ensuring customers a high level of compatibility, feature accessibility, ease of configuration, and general system manageability with the broadest range of VoIP premise equipment, services, and solutions.

“The Pulver 100 is the IP Communications industry’s first and foremost award listing, and it continues to grow in significance, because companies like snom continue to spread IP communications via their technologies,” said Jeff Pulver, founder and chairman of Pulvermedia. “We’re proud to name snom to this year’s Pulver 100.”

“This award further supports our leadership position among VoIP phones in the industry,” said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “We are honored to be a part of the Pulver 100.”

All snom VoIP telephones, including the 300, 320, 360 and 370, are highly configurable and easy to manage through the keypad-cursor, dedicated function keys and menus, or web browser, and offer user friendly features like full-programmable keys and downloadable ringtones. snom telephones offer a complete implementation of the IETF’s latest recommendations for standards-based authentication and content security (SIP(s)/sRTP). Recently, snom has partnered with many leading corporations worldwide to provide clients with increased VoIP security and functionality.

snom will be exhibiting at Spring VON (booth #1341).

Originally introduced in 2002, the Pulver 100 features private companies that impact the distribution of communications and entertainment with Internet technology. These companies have substantial real-world deployments and enjoy significant growth rates. The value chain characterized by the Pulver 100 differs from the vertically integrated model of the last century, focusing more on the direct interface to customers and consumers which has been brought about by the Internet.

snom und Patton geben Interoperabilität zwischen snom Telefonen und der IP-PBX von Patton bekannt

Strategische Partnerschaft erweitert VoIP-Spektrum für KMUs

snom technology AG, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP-Telefonen, gibt die strategische Partnerschaft mit Patton, führend in Sachen Unternehmens-Netzwerkzugängen, Schnittstellen und VoIP-Equipment bekannt. Beide Unternehmen bestätigen die Kompatibilität zwischen Pattons IP-PBX SIPxNANO™ und den SIP VoIP Telefonen von snom.

“Hoch anpassungsfähige und interoperable Lösungen sind das, was der Markt im Übergang von den bisherigen Kommunikationstechnologien und  -strukturen hin zur IP basierten Kommunikation braucht”, sagt Burton A. Patton, Geschäftsführer von Patton Electronics Co. “Patton und snom bieten nun eine sichere, praxiserprobte VoIP-Lösung, die in jeder denkbaren Netzwerkumgebung funktioniert.” Zusammen mit snom Telefonen, Pattons SIPxNANO IP-PBX und den SmartNode™ VoIP Gateways entsteht so ein komplettes Telefonsystem für kleinere und mittlere Unternehmen.

Das kleine Gerät bietet high-end Features wie webbasierte Konfiguration für Nutzer und Administratoren, Auto-Attendant, Haltemusik, Voicemail, Wahl dreistelliger Notrufnummern oder die Rufzustellung innerhalb von Gruppen (Hunt Groups), wie sie in Hotlines zur Anwendung kommt. Dank der Unterstützung des kompletten konvergenten Networkings lassen sich Voice Messages als E-Mail Attachment versenden und erhalten.

“Pattons SIPxNANO IP-PBX ist die optimale Lösung für anspruchsvolle KMUs”, so Michael Knieling, snoms Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand. “In Kombination mit den Geräten der snom-Telefonfamilie haben Unternehmen nun die Option auf ein leicht und schnell zu installierendes VoIP Telefonsystem mit allen Funktionen, die sonst nur bei Lösungen für große Unternehmen erhältlich sind”.

“Interoperabilität ist das große Plus am VoIP-Markt”, meint Joseph Gomez, Senior Product Line Manager bei Patton. “Durch die snom-Zertifikation bieten wir kleinen Unternehmen zusätzlichen Mehrwert – Unternehmen, die keine Zeit haben, sich mit komplexen und nicht standardisierten Systemen auseinanderzusetzen. Pattons VoIP Produkte sind ebenso anerkannt wie die meisten interoperablen Systeme, und die Patton IP-PBX basiert zu 100% auf dem offenen Standard SIP.”

Alle snom Telefone vom Einsteigermodell snom 300 über das 320 und 360 bis hin zum neuen gerade auf der CeBIT 2007 präsentierten snom 370, sind einfach zu konfigurieren und mittels Keypad-Cursor, extra festgelegten Funktionstasten und Menüs oder per Web Browser leicht zu bedienen. snom Telefone haben die aktuellen Sicherheitsstandards für Verschlüsselung der IETF SRTP/SIPS implementiert. Durch die Kompatibilität zu der VoIP Security Gateway Lösung SIPassure von BorderWare ist VoIP nun auch für PBX sicher, die SRTP und TLS nicht unterstützen.

snom ist Aussteller auf der Spring VON und am Stand #1341 zu finden.

Über Patton

Patton ist ein internationales Unternehmen, das Kommunikationsequipment für Carrier, Unternehmen und Industrienetzwerke herstellt. 1984 gegründet, zählt die Palette an Patton Produkten mittlerweile über 1000, zu denen auch die superkleine IP-PBX SIPxNANO™ sowie die VoIP-Lösungen  SmartNode™ und SmartLink™ gehören.

“Interoperability is the game,” said Joseph Gomez, senior product line manager at Patton. “We are very pleased to have achieved snom certification. It offers added assurance to small businesses that do not have time to play with complex or non-standard systems. Patton’s VoIP equipment has an industry reputation as the most interoperable, and our IP-PBX is 100 percent standard SIP. We knew it would pass.”

All snom VoIP telephones, including the 300, 320, 360 and 370, are highly configurable and easy to manage through the keypad-cursor, dedicated function keys and menus, or Web browser, and offer user-friendly features like full-programmable keys and downloadable ringtones. snom phones offer a complete implementation of the IETF’s latest recommendations for standards-based authentication and content security (SIP(s)/sRTP).

snom recently announced increased security to combine its phones with BorderWare’s SIPassure VoIP Security Gateway solution, eliminating the need for PBX SRTP and TLS functionality. The most recently launched snom 370 features a larger display, expanded memory and a multicast paging mode, offering business users a simple and secure way to manage calls.

Zusätzlich zu den snom-Telefonen kommt die vom snom-Technologiepartner pbxnsip Inc. entwickelte IP-PBX Lösung zum Einsatz und ermöglicht eine komplexe reale Telefonie-Infrastruktur. Diese beinhaltet neben den schnurgebundenen IP-Telefonen und Schnurlos-Headset-Adapter von snom auch VoIP DECT Produkte. Die Anbindung an das Festnetz (ISDN) erfolgt dabei per Voice over IP-Gateways von Dialogic und Audiocodes aus dem Microsoft Kompatibilitätsprogramm.

Die interne E-Mail, Voice-Mail, Fax- und Messenger-Kommunikation wird durch die Microsoft Unified Communication Produktpalette aus Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS), Microsoft Office Communicator (OC) etc. bereitgestellt. Durch die direkte Integration von snom Telefonie und pbxnsip IP-TK-Anlage sind Leistungsmerkmale der Telefonlösung möglich, die sonst nur mit erheblichem Integrationsaufwand möglich wären.

Dazu gehören zum Beispiel

  • E-Mail-Postfach Steuerung über Spracherkennung
  • E-Mails über das Telefon vorlesen
  • Sprachsteuerung des Kalenders
  • Voice-Mail / Anrufbeantworter abhören

Darüber hinaus gibt es die Möglichkeit des direkten Aufbaus einer Telefonverbindung aus dem Exchange 2007 Adressbuch, um sich beispielsweise nach einer abgehörten email direkt mit dem vom Absender genutzten internen, Heim- oder Mobilfunk-Telefon verbinden zu lassen.

snom technology und BorderWare Technologies geben strategische Partnerschaft bekannt und demonstrieren erstmals auf der CeBIT 2007 die zertifizierte Sicherheitslösung aus VoIP-Telefonen und SIP-basierter Firewall

snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller von Voice-over-IP Telefonen, und BorderWare Technologies, führender Anbieter von Sicherheitslösungen, geben ihre strategische Partnerschaft bekannt. Beide Unternehmen bieten durch das Zusammenspiel von snom-Telefonen und der SIPassure VoIP Security Gateway-Lösung eine sichere und einfach zu nutzende Lösung, die sich nahtlos in jede SIP-Infrastruktur integrieren lässt.

“Dank der Kompatibilität zur SIPassure VoIP Security Gateway von BorderWare können wir den Einsatz unserer Telefone vom Einsteigermodell snom 300 bis hin zum neuen snom 370 zusätzlich absichern. VoIP-Telefonie-Anbietern (Carriern), Internet Service Providern, Administratoren und VoIP-Nutzern eröffnen wir damit das sicherste Voice-over-IP, was derzeit möglich ist”, sagt Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand von snom.

Alle snom-Telefone sind mit den derzeit maximalen Sicherheitsfeatures ausgestattet. SRTP sowie TLS schützen vor Abhören. Allerdings braucht man dafür PBX-Systeme, die diese Funktionen unterstützen. Mit der SIPassure von BorderWare ist das nun nicht mehr nötig. Sie verbindet die Funktionen eines Application Layer Gateways (ALG) mit den Vorteilen eines Session Border Controllers (SBC). Mittels NAT (Network Address Translation) können SIP-Dienste dann auch in einem durch eine Firewall geschützten Netzwerk betrieben werden. SIPassure schützt vor anwendungsspezifischen Angriffen wie Registrierungsangriffen, Spit sowie dem Überfluten mit unerwünschten Anrufen oder Nachrichten.

Mittels TLS- und SRTP- Unterstützung wird die VoIP-Kommunikation abgesichert, die sonst offen und unverschlüsselt ablaufen würde. Unabhängig von der verwendeten PBX/TK-Anlage bietet BorderWare eine sichere Anbindung der einzelnen Komponenten.

“Die Partnerschaft zwischen snom und BorderWare schafft die technologischen und praktischen Voraussetzungen, um die Vorteile von VoIP zu nutzen, ohne die Risiken in Kauf nehmen zu müssen. SIPassure ist so konzipiert, dass die Lösung kostengünstig sowohl für Unternehmen als auch für Telefonnetz-betreiber skaliert werden kann und damit zugleich eine sichere VoIP-Verbindung für jeden Anwender garantiert,” so Peter Cox, CTO International BorderWare.

Kann bei einer netzwerkinternen Kommunikation vielleicht noch auf eine Verschlüsselung verzichtet werden, sollte spätestens bei Heimarbeitsplätzen eine sichere Verbindung bedacht werden. snom bietet dafür selbst mit dem snom 300 den vollen Funktionsumfang und informiert den Nutzer direkt über das Schlosssymbol im Display, ob seine Verbindung sicher ist.

snom auf der CeBIT, 15.-21. März 2007, Hannover, Halle 13, Stand D53/1

Borderware auf der CeBIT: Ein technischer Ansprechpartner der Firma BorderWare steht am 19./20. März für Gespräche am Stand von snom zur Verfügung.

snom technology and Borderware Technologies Announce Strategic Partnership to Increase VoIP Security

Companies to demo snom phones with the SIPassure VoIP gateway solution at CeBIT and VON Spring

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, and BorderWare Technologies, a leading provider of messaging security, privacy and compliance solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to combine snom phones with the SIPassure VoIP Security Gateway solution. This combination offers a secure and easy to use solution that can be integrated seamlessly into any SIP infrastructure.

“snom’s compatibility with BorderWare’s SIPassure VoIP Security Gateway enables us to offer additional security for our phones from the entry-level snom 300 to the newest snom 370. Now, we offer the most secure Voice-over-IP solution currently available to VoIP telephony providers, ISPs, administrators and VoIP users,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing and Sales Director of snom.

All snom phones are equipped with the best security features available today. While SRTP and TLS protect against unauthorized listening, PBXs must support this functionality. With BorderWare’s SIPassure, this is no longer necessary, as it combines the functionality of an Application Layer Gateway (ALG) with the benefits of a Session Border Controller (SBC). Using NAT (Network Address Translation) and SIPassure’s ability to provide Far-end NAT Traversal services, it is also possible to use SIP services on a network that is protected by a firewall. SIPassure protects against application specific attacks such as registry attacks and spits, as well as floods of unsolicited calls or messages.

VoIP communication that would otherwise be open and unencrypted is secured using TLS and SRTP. BorderWare offers secure integration of the individual components, irrespective of the PBX/TK system used.

“The snom and BorderWare partnership creates the technological and practical requirements for being able to take advantage of the benefits of VoIP without the risks. SIPassure has been designed to be scalable at a low cost for both end user companies and network providers and offers a secure VoIP connection for every user,” commented Peter Cox, CTO International BorderWare.

While encryption services are less important for internal communication, calls to and from external phones including home users should be secured in order to lower the risks of eavesdropping and unauthorized monitoring. Now, snom offers full functionality for all levels of security on all of its models starting with the snom 300, and informs the user about security connection status via the lock symbol on the screen.

snom will be exhibiting at CeBIT (Hannover, Germany), March 15-21, 2007,Hall 13, booth D53/1 and at Spring VON, March 19-22, 2007 in San Jose, CA at booth #1341

snom technology zeigt zur CeBIT mit dem neuen snom 370 das derzeit sicherste VoIP-Telefon. Es kommt mit großem Display und erweitertem Speicher

Das neue snom 370 bietet mit seinem großen hoch auflösenden grafischen Display eine verbesserte und erweiterte Darstellung von Daten, beispielsweise von Anruflisten, Adressbüchern oder Anruferinformationen. Per XML sind sie einfach und individuell zu belegen und zu bearbeiten. “Anwendern und Administratoren erleichtert es wesentlich das Informations- und Konfigurationsmanagement”, nennt Vertriebs- und Marketingvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling einen entscheidenden Vorteil des snom 370.

Der Mini-Browser ermöglicht nicht nur den Zugang zu eigenen Anwendungen über das Display. Es lassen sich sowohl zentrale als auch öffentliche Telefonverzeichnisse direkt nutzen oder Newsticker sowie andere Informationen anzeigen. Das snom 370 unterstützt mehrere Audio-Geräte gleichzeitig: So sind bei einer Telefonkonferenz Hörer, Headset und Lautsprecher parallel nutzbar.

Das SIP-basierte VoIP-Telefon bietet durch seine erweiterte Speicherkapazität neben allen nötigen Office-Funktionalitäten wie Wahl der Amtsleitung, Statusanzeige, Gruppenleitungen, Vermittlung, Heranholen von Gesprächen oder Dreierkonferenz mehr Spielraum für individuelle Funktionen und Applikationen. Damit ist die Statusanzeige der Kontakte (z.B. besetzt, verfügbar, nicht erreichbar) ähnlich wie beim Instant Messenger darstellbar. Auch die Wiedergabe von Musik und Mediafiles ist möglich.

snom setzt mit dem neuen 370 wieder auf höchste Sicherheit, die sowohl im allgemeinen Geschäftsumfeld als auch in sensiblen Umgebungen wie in Krankenhäusern, im Finanz- und Versicherungswesen oder im Militärbereich notwendig ist. Um ungewollte Zugriffe auf Sprachdaten zu vermeiden, unterstützt das snom 370 neben den bekannten Sicherheitsstandards der gesamten snom 3×0 Telefonserie TLS, SRTP und SIPS zusätzlich auch VPN für den größtmöglichen Schutz gegen Lauschangriffe und Datendiebstahl.

Aufgrund der hohen Audioqualität, einfachster Handhabung sowie Sicherheit und Interoperabilität eignet sich das snom 370 hervorragend für KMUs, Home Offices, Privatanwender oder ISP-Applikationen.

Caller information can be customized easily through XML to depict the information the user wants displayed. “This means for users and administrators a decisive ease of information and configuration management”, stresses Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom.

Through the mini browser, users can have direct access to their own applications via the display screen. Users can not only customize the design of the display but also view news tickers and other information as well as access central or public phone directories. The snom 370 supports several audio devices simultaneously, for example, it is possible to use the handset, headset, and loudspeaker concurrently.

The SIP-based VoIP telephone offers with its expanded memory capacity in addition to all necessary office functionality such as choice of trunk line, status indicator, group lines, transfer, call-pickup or conferencing (3-way conference bridge) more scope for individual functions and applications. The expanded memory capacity also enables the depiction of graphics and high resolution pictures to show the status of contacts (e.g., busy, on-line, off-line) similar to Instant Messenger. It is also possible to play music and media files.

snom continues to focus on the highest security features necessary for businesses, especially sensitive business environments, such as hospitals, finance, insurance or military. To avoid problems with unwanted violations of audio data, the snom 370 supports the current security standards such as TLS (Transport Layer Security), SRTP and SIPS. Additionally, the 370 supports VPN for the maximum protection against electronic eavesdropping and data theft.

High audio quality, ease of use, security and interoperability make the snom 370 highly suitable for SMEs, home offices, private users or ISP applications.

snoms VoIP-Telefone sind mit Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 zu kombinieren und erleichtern damit professionelle Kommunikation um ein Vielfaches <br><br>Auf den beiden großen Telekommunikationsmessen VON Europe in Berlin und SIMO in Spanien demonstriert snom technology, Entwickler und Hersteller von VoIP-Telefonen, sie zum ersten Mal live: die Kompatibilität zwischen snoms SIP-basierten VoIP-Telefonen und dem zum Jahreswechsel 2007 angekündigten Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

Beide Unternehmen snom und Microsoft setzen bei ihren Produkten – den snom Business-Telefonen und dem Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – den Fokus verstärkt auf Sicherheit der SIP-basierten (Session Initiation Protocol) IP-Kommunikation und bieten damit eine komplexe, geschützte und unangreifbare Kommunikationsinfrastruktur.

Ein Tastendruck auf dem snom-Telefon genügt, um den vollen Zugriff auf alle eingegangenen Meldungen und Dienste des neuen Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 zu bekommen. E-Mails lassen sich ebenso abhören wie Journal- und Kontaktdaten oder Termine. Die automatische Spracherkennung ist denkbar einfach in ihrer Anwendung.

“Bisher ist diese enge Verbindung von IP-Telefonen und Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 konkurrenzlos und bietet künftigen Verbrauchern viele Vorteile”, sagt snoms Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. “snom setzt damit einen entscheidenden Meilenstein in der Welt der professionellen Bürokommunikation und liefert einen wichtigen Beitrag auf dem Weg zur reinen SIP-basierten IP-Kommunikation”.

Die Testumgebung wurde zusammen mit der Firma ITaCS GmbH auf Basis des Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 bereitgestellt. Die Verbindung zwischen dem Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 und der VoIP-Telefonanlage erfolgt über das standardisierte SIP-Protokoll.

Info für Verkäufer und Nutzer des IP-Telefons elmeg IP290

Immer wieder bekommen wir Anfragen zum IP-Telefon elmeg IP290, das von der Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH hergestellt und vertrieben wird.

Hatte es im Dezember 2005 noch die gleiche Ausstattung wie das Auslaufmodell snom 190, bezieht sich mittlerweile der Begriff “baugleich” nur auf das Gehäuse und die Hardware aber nicht auf die Funktionalitäten.

Die Firmware des elmeg IP290 wird von Funkwerk direkt betreut. Somit liegen Support und Vertrieb für das Gerät allein bei der Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH.

Wir bitten Reseller, Interessenten und Nutzer, das bei Anfragen zum elmeg IP290 zu berücksichtigen und gegebenenfalls auch die Texte auf den Firmen-Webseiten anzupassen.

snom hat als Nachfolgemodelle für das snom 190 erfolgreich das snom 300 und das snom 320 auf den Markt gebracht und entwickelt die Firmware kontinuierlich weiter. Den Support für das snom 190 leistet snom weiterhin.

Über snom

snom technology AG entwickelt und produziert VoIP-Telefone, die auf dem offenen Standard SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) basieren. Qualität, Sicherheit, Interoperabilität, Design, eine attraktive Preisgestaltung und vor allem Funktionalitäten, die dem Bedarf moderner Business-Kommunikation entsprechen, sind die Maßstäbe, an denen sich snom orientiert. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Herstellern findet der Anwender die gesamte Software als Firmware auf jedem Telefon, was Updates oder das Herunterladen neuer Features extrem erleichtert. snom Kunden profitieren vor allem von der Flexibilität, die die snom Telefone bieten, inklusive der Kompatibilität zu allen SIP-basierten Telefonsystemen. Gegründet 1996 in Berlin verfügt snom heute auch über Niederlassungen in Italien, Frankreich und den USA. Das Unternehmen ist darüber hinaus mit einem Netzwerk von über 200 autorisierten Vertriebspartnern in 60 Ländern weltweit vertreten. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter www.snom.com

Info for sellers and users of the IP telephone elmeg IP290

We consistently receive enquiries regarding the IP telephone elmeg IP290, which is manufactured and sold by Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH. Although in December 2005 it still had the same configuration as the discontinued model snom 190, the term “structurally identical” now only applies to the casing and hardware and not to the functionalities.

The firmware of the elmeg IP290 is looked after directly by Funkwerk. Therefore, support and sales for the device rest exclusively with Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH.

We would ask resellers, interested parties and users to take this into account when making enquiries regarding the elmeg IP290 and where necessary to also adapt the texts on the company websites accordingly.

As successors to the snom 190, snom has successfully brought the snom 300 and the snom 320 onto the market and is continuously developing the firmware. snom continues to provide support for the snom 190.

“Security features such as SRTP and SIPS have come to be part of the standard configuration of our VoIP telephones snom 300, 320 and 360.

Digium (Asterisk) und snom starten strategische Partnerschaft

snom technology, führender deutscher Hersteller von hochwertigen VoIP Business-Telefonen, ist ab sofort zertifizierter Premium-Interoperabilitäts-Partner der Digium Inc., Begründer von Asterisk™ und Pionier der Open Source-Telefonie.

Die VoIP-Telefone snom 360 und 320 bestanden erfolgreich alle Interoperabilitätstests mit der Digium Asterisk Business Edition – ein großer Vorteil für snoms SIP-basierte Telefonfamilie, die in punkto Funktionalität und Preis vor allem für den professionellen Einsatz in kleineren und mittleren Unternehmen entwickelt wurde. Problemlos zu installieren und konfigurieren, ermöglichen die snom-Telefone nun auch einen leichten Zugriff auf die vielfältigen Features der Asterisk PBX.

“Durch Partnerschaften zu innovativen Unternehmen wie snom können wir vor allem Business-Anwendern mehr Möglichkeiten und Features anbieten, wenn sie komplexe Telefonsysteme auf der Basis von Asterisk nutzen”, sagt Jim Webster, verantwortlich für Softwaretechnologien bei Digium. “Wir freuen uns auf die Zusammenarbeit mit snom in Hinblick auf die Erweiterung des VoIP Marktes und die entscheidende Rolle, die Open Source in der Telekommunikation spielen wird.”

Um die Vorteile für snom/Asterisk-Nutzer auf den Punkt zu bringen, fügt Sales- und Marketing-Vorstand Dr. Michael Knieling noch hinzu: ” Für viele Insider ist es nicht neu, dass snom-Telefone zu Asterisk kompatibel sind, aber nun ist es offiziell bestätigt. Durch unsere Partnerschaft mit Digium können wir Asterisk-Kunden mehr Funktionalitäten, Produktivität und Effizienz bieten.”

Digium entwickelte sein Asterisk Partner Programm aufgrund des stetig wachsenden Asterisk-Systems und der Nachfrage nach Open Source-basierten Telefonie-Plattformen. Das Programm besteht aus drei verschiedenen Partnerschafts-Typen: Asterisk Produkte- und Lösungspartner, Asterisk Servicepartner und Asterisk Interoperabilitätspartner.

Über Digium

Digium ist ursprünglicher Entwickler von Asterisk, der ersten OpenSource PBX und der Asterisk Business Edition für den professionellen Einsatz. In Kombination mit Digiums PCI Telefonie-Schnittstellenkarten bietet Asterisk eine strategische, kostensparende Lösung für die Stimm- und Datenübertragung über das Internet Protokoll, TDM, Switched- und Ethernet-Architekturen.

Digium bietet darüber hinaus hochwertige Hard- und Software-Produkte, die Telefonapplikationen inklusive herkömmlicher PBXs ermöglichen sowie Sprachserver (IVR), Auto Attendant, Gateways der nächsten Generation, Media Server und Application Server. Digium leistet auch eine Vielzahl an Services in den Bereichen Consulting, Technischer Support und Software Entwicklung.

Über Asterisk

Der Asterisk-Code wurde ursprünglich durch Mark Spencer von Digium Inc. programmiert und dann weltweit von OpenSource Softwareingenieuren weiterentwickelt. Asterisk unterstützt zahlreiche TDM Protokolle für die Verarbeitung und Übertragung von Sprachdaten über traditionelle Telefonie-Schnittstellen und VoIP Protokolle wie IAX, SIP und H.323. Es unterstützt zudem US-amerikanische und europäische Standardsignalisierungs-Typen, die in professionell eingesetzten  Telefonsystemen verwendet werden und ermöglicht dabei den gleichzeitigen Einsatz von Kommunikations-Netzwerken der nächsten Generation und der existierenden Infrastruktur.

Digium and snom technology AG enter into strategic partnership

Digium, Inc., the creator of Asterisk™ and pioneer of open source telephony, and snom, a leading German manufacturer of VoIP phones, announced today that snom has become a Digium Premier Interoperability Partner.

The snom VoIP phones, snom 360 and snom 320, have successfully completed interoperability validation with Digium’s Asterisk Business Edition. snom’s SIP-based family of IP telephones are engineered and suitably priced to serve small, medium and large enterprises in a broad range of business contexts. Easy to install and configure, snom IP phones provide simplified access to the rich feature sets of Asterisk IP PBX.

“By partnering with innovative companies like snom, we can offer the business community more options and features when building high-end telephony systems based on Asterisk,” said Jim Webster, director of Software Technologies at Digium. “We look forward to working together with snom to expand the VoIP market and at the same time communicate the important role open source will play in the telecom market.”

Summing up the advantages for snom/Asterisk users, snom’s sales and marketing director Dr. Michael Knieling adds, “For many people, it is nothing new that snom VoIP phones are compatible with Asterisk, but now it has been officially proved. Through our partnership with Digium, we are able to use synergies in order to offer Asterisk customers more features, productivity and efficiency.

snom enters the sub-A$200 VoIP Handset market at CeBIT Australia with the fully-loaded snom 300.

The new entry level model of the snom VoIP telephone family, the snom 300, is all about flexibility and security.

The new entry level model of the snom VoIP telephone family, the snom 300, is all about flexibility and security. Six free, user- or administrator-configurable (or carrier-preconfigurable) function keys can easily be allocated to security-related menu functions, or assigned to multiple lines. The snom 300 comes factory-equipped so that four of its six programmable keys can be configured as line appearances, and upgrades are available from snom that lets you configure (up to) all six function keys in this way – flexible enough to suit the needs of every user.

Robust security is a key feature of the snom VoIP telephone family. “Due to its rapid growth, Internet Telephony is becoming increasingly enticing for illegal eavesdroppers, data thieves and advertising calls; so with the snom 300 we have placed particular emphasis on security features like SRTP and SIPS,” stresses sales and marketing director Dr. Michael Knieling. “It is precisely in the price segment under A$200 that most VoIP telephones are lacking effective protection mechanisms like these.”

In addition, the snom 300 offers all necessary office functionality, including features such as choice of trunk line, status indicator, group lines, busy option and call-pickup. High audio quality, ease of use and interoperability make the snom 300 highly suitable for SMEs, home offices, private users or ISP applications.

“The mark of a quality VoIP phone is in the firmware – and this is where snom leads the SIP-based sector. The new 300 model shares a common firmware with the high-end models, not to mention a well designed and properly weighted hand-piece – a rarity in the entry level segment of the market.” says Scott Rigby of Enabled Networks, snom Importer for Australia & New Zealand. “We recently entered into a closer relationship with Alloy Computer Products to better support their extensive range of business grade VoIP telephony products, headlined by the Epygi IP PBX series. Alloy have Resellers throughout Australia, plus their ‘Voice Gold Partner’ network who are dedicated to looking after all pre- and post-sales requirements in the VoIP/Telephony area”

Alloy provides it’s customers with a product range covering all areas of converged data/voice systems, from the key items of VoIP Telephony hardware through to equipment to provision data networks for carrying voice traffic” says Karl Baker, Marketing Director at Alloy. “snom have a well-earned reputation as a leader in IP Phone technology, and we have found their products to be ideal for business grade VoIP systems. The new snom 300 model brings snom’s dedication to excellence into the value end of the business IP Phone market, and is also a great product for residential users who want a robust, feature-rich handset. We will be demonstrating the product on a live system at CeBIT, with all our other VoIP products. CeBIT attendees are invited to try the 300 for themselves”.

snom and Ingate Secure VoIP Traffic

Complete the World’s First Successful VoIP Call Using SRTP to Encrypt Media; Demonstrate Inteoperability

Ingate® Systems (www.ingate.com), which develops firewall technology and products that enable SIP-based live communication for the enterprise while maintaining control and security at the network edge, and snom, an open systems provider of high quality VoIP business telephones, today announced the world’s first successful completion of an encrypted VoIP call using the approved standard protocol SRTP (Secure Realtime Transfer Protocol).

Ideal for voice traffic, SRTP provides a very high level of security for realtime data with advanced encryption, confidentiality, message authentication, and replay protection. Used with voice data, SRTP provides one of the most secure environments for Internet telephony and VoIP applications available.
To date, only snom and Ingate offer compatible SRTP implementations.  The successful completion of interop testing between the two companies
offers customers a secure solution for voice traffic: the combination of a snom phone with an Ingate Firewall® ensures a secure, reliable VoIP environment.

snom and Ingate have both incorporated SRTP support to their VoIP products.  SRTP was first developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in 2004 as RFC 3711.  The SRTP key exchange mechanism used by both vendors is based on the SDP Security Descriptions draft for media streams (sdescriptions).  Both companies base their products on the SIP standard, also developed by the IETF.  By working to strict IETF specifications, snom and Ingate remain committed to open standards and true interoperability.

“Achieving SRTP interoperability between snom and Ingate Systems marks an important watershed in the evolution of VoIP security,” said Michael Knieling, VP Marketing for snom technology, AG. “Single-vendor, proprietary security schemes, developed under wraps, may or may not provide genuine protection. By contrast, standard security strategies receive wide-ranging scrutiny by the developer community, and the process of interoperability testing forces mutual technology disclosure. The result is more robust, provably-secure solutions, and a wider field of options for end users.”

“With the conclusion of this successful interoperability test, both snom and Ingate set a benchmark for other vendors to implement similar features and push security in VoIP environments to the next level,” said Olle Westerberg, Chief Executive Officer, Ingate Systems.

A Secure VoIP Environment

Using snom phones with Ingate Firewalls provides users with a secure, reliable VoIP environment.  Both products support Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure SIP signaling and SRTP for encrypting audio streams. When combined, these protocols shield users from eavesdroppers, hackers and spoofers. In addition, SRTP uses 128-bit AES for encrypting the RTP payload.

SRTP is ideal for protecting Voice over IP audio traffic because it can be used in conjunction with header compression and has no effect on IP Quality of Service.  It creates a unique key stream for each RTP packet, and transmits encrypted audio packets over data networks, making it almost impossible for eavesdroppers to retrieve the original media stream from the encrypted stream.

For more information, visit Ingate Systems at booth #1338 and Snom at booth #1534 at Spring VON 2006 in San Jose.

About Ingate® Systems

Ingate® Systems develops firewall technology and products that enable SIP-based live communication for the enterprise while maintaining control and security at the network edge.  Ingate has a long history of developing next-generation firewall technology that solves the NAT/firewall traversal issue inherent in SIP communications.  In addition to an extensive line of Ingate Firewalls®, the company also produces the award-winning Ingate SIParator®, a device that connects to an existing network firewall to seamlessly enable SIP communications.  Ingate products currently protect the networks of retail companies, financial institutions, industrial firms, government agencies and small-to-large enterprises throughout Europe, Asia and North America.  Ingate Systems AB is headquartered in Sweden with offices in Stockholm and Linköping.  Its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ingate Systems Inc., is located in Hollis, New Hampshire, with a U.S. technology center in Frisco, Texas.  For more information on Ingate Systems, visit www.ingate.com.

Mit Partner Allnet erobern snom VoIP-Telefone Spanien

Die Teilnahme an der diesjährigen SIMO im November 2005, der internationalen Messe für Informationstechnologie, Multimedia und Kommunikation in Madrid, hat sich für den Berliner Hersteller von VoIP-Telefonen gelohnt. Aufgrund der großen Nachfrage nach den SIP-basierten IP-Businesstelefonen rechnet snoms Hauptdistributor Allnet Spanien für dieses Jahr mit einer Umsatzsteigerung von ca. 20%.

“Besonders gefragt sind bei unseren Kunden Funktionen wie Mehrsprachigkeit, ein großes Display, Headsetanschluss und die Möglichkeit der Tastenerweiterung – Vorgaben, die die Modelle snom 360 und snom 320 optimal erfüllen”, betont Mike Auster, Geschäftsführer von Allnet Spanien. “Für viele unverzichtbar ist auch die Option, mehrere VoIP-Provider auf Hotkeys konfigurieren zu können”, fügt er hinzu.

“Die positive Resonanz ist für snom eine gute Grundlage, seine Vertriebsaktivitäten auf der iberischen Halbinsel und den angrenzenden Ländern noch intensiver und gezielter voranzutreiben und sich neue Absatzmärkte zu erschließen”, sagt snoms Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand Dr. Michael Knieling über die nächsten strategischen Vorhaben.

snom VoIP telephones moving into the Spanish market together with partner Allnet

Taking part in this year’s SIMO in November 2005, the international trade fair for information technology, multimedia and communication in Madrid, has paid off for the Berlin-based VoIP telephone manufacturer. Due to the high level of demand for the SIP-based IP business telephones, snom’s main distributor Allnet Spain is expecting a sales increase of approximately 20% for this year.

“Our customers are particularly keen on functions such as multilingualism, a large display, headset connection and the possibility of keypad extension – requirements which the models snom 360 and snom 320 optimally fulfill”, emphasizes Mike Auster, CEO of Allnet Spain. “For many customers, the option of being able to configure several VoIP providers on hotkeys is also essential”, he adds.

“For snom, the positive response is a good basis on which to press ahead with its sales activities on the Iberian Peninsula and the adjoining countries more intensively and with a greater focus, and to tap into new sales markets”, says snom’s sales and marketing director Dr. Michael Knieling on the next strategic development plans.

To achieve this goal, snom already has a further important partner on board. Telecom Solutions, one of the leading Spanish providers, especially for business customers, has successfully tested the snom telephones and the snom Box for interoperability.

Das Berliner Unternehmen snom technology bietet zum ersten Mal seine auf SIP basierenden VoIP-Telefone snom 320 und snom 360 im Einzelhandel an.
Ab sofort sind diese Modelle im Media Markt Schweiz erhältlich.

“Wir hoffen, über diesen neuen Weg eine breitere Kundenschicht zu erreichen”, sagt snoms Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand Dr. Michael Knieling. “Wir tragen damit Rechnung, dass VoIP immer mehr im privaten Bereich Einzug hält und die Endkunden qualitativ hochwertige und leistungsfähige VoIP-Telefone nachfragen”.

snom VoIP-Telefone sind dank Microsens-Switches nun auch für Internet-Telefonie in Glasfasernetzwerken einsetzbar

Immer mehr Unternehmen entscheiden sich für den Einsatz von Glasfaser-Netzwerken, die im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen aus Kupfer eine höhere Nutzungsdauer und Leistungsfähigkeit bieten und hinsichtlich Installations- und Wartungskosten weitaus kostengünstiger sind.

In Kombination mit den “Fiber-to-the-Office”-Komponenten von Microsens (www.microsens.com) machen die mit Kupferanschlüssen ausgestatteten sicheren Business-Telefone snom 320 und snom 360 nun auch in Glasfaser-basierten Netzwerken eine wirtschaftliche IP-Telefonie ohne Qualitätsverlust möglich.

“Eine entscheidende Voraussetzung für den effizienten Einsatz von IP-Telefonen in Glasfaserumgebungen ist die Funktion Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), mit der das IP-Telefon durch ein und dasselbe Kabel Daten und Strom erhält”, so Marko Richter, Executive Sales Manager von Microsens. “Der Trend geht klar in Richtung einheitliche Stromversorgung der verschiedenen Endgeräte bei gleichzeitig möglichst geringem strukturellen Aufwand. Das führt in Sachen VoIP zwangsläufig über den PoE-Standard IEEE 802.3af.”

“Ohne die Microsens-Lösung für eine intelligente Glasfaser-/Kupferintegration wäre die Nutzung unserer IP-Telefone in Glasfasernetzen so ohne weiteres nicht möglich”, meint Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing- und Vertriebsvorstand von snom. “Dank Microsens brauchen wir die snom-Geräte, die mit ihren umfangreichen Funktionen und Sicherheitsfeatures für den professionellen Einsatz entwickelt wurden, nicht mit extra Glasfaseranschlüssen auszustatten und können trotzdem mit den “Glasfaser-Unternehmen” eine neue Kundengruppe hinzu gewinnen”.

Microsens präsentiert auf der Kölner exponet vom 08.11. – 10.11.2005, Halle 11.2, Stand M20, mit snom-Telefonen die Funktionsfähigkeit der IP-Telefonie anhand einer TK-Anlage mit Amtsleitung.

Über Microsens

MICROSENS gehört zu den weltweit führenden Herstellern von Glasfaser-Übertragungssystemen. Das Know-how des 1993 gegründeten Unternehmens erstreckt sich auf alle Anwendungsbereiche der Glasfasertechnik, von den unternehmensinternen Netzwerken (LAN), über die Zugangsnetze (Access) bis zu den Metronetzen (MAN). Innovative eigene Technik verbunden mit permanenten Investitionen in neueste Fertigungstechnologie garantieren High-End Lösungen und eine schnelle Umsetzung der Anforderungen des Marktes.

Thanks to Microsens switches, snom VoIP telephones can now also be used for Internet telephony in fiber optic networks

A growing number of companies are opting to use fiber optic networks, which in comparison to conventional copper networks offer greater life expectancy and efficiency and are considerably more cost-effective in terms of installation and maintenance.

In combination with the “Fiber-to-the-Office” components from Microsens (www.microsens.com), the secure business telephones snom 320 and snom 360, equipped with copper connections, now also enable economic IP telephony on fiber optic-based networks.

“A crucial prerequisite for the efficient use of IP telephones in fiber optic environments is the function Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), with which the IP telephone receives data and power through one and the same cable,” says Marko Richter, Executive Sales Manager of Microsens. “The trend is moving clearly towards a universal power supply for different end devices while at the same time keeping infrastructure costs as low as possible. For VoIP, centralized power is now almost universally provided over the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af”.

“Without the Microsens solution for an intelligent fiber optic/copper integration, such a straightforward use of our IP telephones in fiber optic networks just wouldn’t have been possible,” states Dr. Michael Knieling, Marketing and Sales Director of snom. “Thanks to Microsens, we do not need to equip the snom devices, which with their comprehensive functions and security features were developed for professional use, with extra fiber optic connections. Nevertheless, we can now partner with fiberoptic enterprise network providers to reach a whole new group of customers.”

Microsens will be at the Cologne exponet from 08.11. – 10.11.2005, Hall 11.2, Stand M20, using snom telephones to demonstrate the efficiency of IP telephony with a telecommunications system in a fiberoptic enterprise network environment.

About Microsens

MICROSENS is a world leader in production of fiber optic data transmission systems. The company was founded in 1993, and its expertise covers all applications using fiber optics, ranging from local area networks (LAN), via access networks right up to industrial and metro networks (MAN).

snom als VoIP-Branchenführer in “Pulver 100″-Liste

snom technology gehört dieses Jahr als einziges deutsches Unternehmen zu den 100 führenden, nicht börsennotierten VoIP-Unternehmen, die vom VoIP-Experten Jeff Pulver und von pulvermedia.com anlässlich der Fall VON  (19.-22. September 2005, Boston) als Branchen-Leader gekürt werden.

Seit 2002 dokumentiert die Liste der „Pulver 100“ die unaufhaltsame und schnelle Voice over IP-Entwicklung: weg vom vertikal integrierten Telekommunikationsmodell des 20. Jahrhunderts hin zum Netzwerk-Modell, das offene Schnittstellen eine von den Services entkoppelte Verbindungsfähigkeit und eine von der Hardware losgelöste Software unterstützt.

“Pulver 100  listet die Marktführer in der IP-Kommunikation. Die nominierten Unternehmen repräsentieren die Zukunft unserer Industrie“, sagt VoIP-Experte Jeff Pulver, Gründer und Vorsitzender von Pulvermedia (www.pulvermedia.com).

„Diese Ernennung ist für uns eine große Auszeichnung“, freut sich Dr. Michael Knieling, snoms Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand. “Unsere neue Strategie hat sich komplett offenen Standards verschrieben – snoms VoIP Business-Telefone sind voll kompatibel innerhalb der SIP-Familie und anbieterspezifischen Adaptionen“.

„Der Vorteil sämtlicher SIP-basierten Geräte und Dienste besteht für den Nutzer darin“, so Knieling, „dass er diese von verschiedenen Anbietern kombinieren kann.” Entscheidende Schritte in Richtung Interoperabilität sind für snom die kürzlich erfolgreich durchgeführten Tests durch die IP-Service-Anbieter QSC und BroadSoft.

snom Technology to show Power-over-Ethernet-compliant VoIP Phones at Internet Telephony Expo

snom 360, 320 certified for IEEE 802.3af compatibility by PowerDsine

Global SIP telephone maker snom technology, AG (www.snom.com) has announced that its snom 360 and 320 SIP telephones have been certified fully compatible with IEEE standard (802.3af) Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) by technology pioneer PowerDsine (www.powerdsine.com). The snom phones were tested by PowerDsine against their own ‘Midspan’ PoE devices, and with PoE-enabled IP switches based on their integrated 802.3af integrated solutions. Internal to snom, the phones have also passed compatibility testing with power-sourcing equipment (PSE) from RedHawk, 3COM, Microsens, HP, Juce, and NetGear.

Power-over-Ethernet technology lets power be transmitted to compatible IP telephones over the same Ethernet cables that provide IP connectivity. PoE can be supplied directly from compatible head-end equipment (e.g., PoE-enabled switches). Alternatively, existing Ethernet networks can be retrofitted by inserting PoE between switches and endpoint devices, using standard ‘midspan’ equipment now available from a growing range of vendors. Use of PoE simplifies office and workstation wiring, and facilitates VoIP phone installation (and MACs). By enabling centralized power protection of VoIP endpoint devices, PoE makes feasible the design of robust IP telephony systems that can ride through power outages — a must for mission-critical applications.

snom technology pioneered implementation of Power-over-Ethernet in IP telephones, obtaining its first PowerDsine certification in 2001, and maintaining its products in close harmony with evolving de-facto and official industry standards since that time. The snom 200, released in early 2004, was the first snom telephone compatible with the current IEEE 802.3af standard, promulgated in late 2003.

snom will demonstrate its full line of SIP-based IP telephones and VoIP enabling solutions at Internet Telephony Expo, October 24-27, 2005 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (Booth 530).

snom als VoIP-Branchenführer in “Pulver 100″-Liste

snom technology gehört dieses Jahr als einziges deutsches Unternehmen zu den 100 führenden, nicht börsennotierten VoIP-Unternehmen, die vom VoIP-Experten Jeff Pulver und von pulvermedia.com anlässlich der Fall VON  (19.-22. September 2005, Boston) als Branchen-Leader gekürt werden.

Seit 2002 dokumentiert die Liste der „Pulver 100“ die unaufhaltsame und schnelle Voice over IP-Entwicklung: weg vom vertikal integrierten Telekommunikationsmodell des 20. Jahrhunderts hin zum Netzwerk-Modell, das offene Schnittstellen eine von den Services entkoppelte Verbindungsfähigkeit und eine von der Hardware losgelöste Software unterstützt.

“Pulver 100  listet die Marktführer in der IP-Kommunikation. Die nominierten Unternehmen repräsentieren die Zukunft unserer Industrie“, sagt VoIP-Experte Jeff Pulver, Gründer und Vorsitzender von Pulvermedia (www.pulvermedia.com).

„Diese Ernennung ist für uns eine große Auszeichnung“, freut sich Dr. Michael Knieling, snoms Vertriebs- und Marketing-Vorstand. “Unsere neue Strategie hat sich komplett offenen Standards verschrieben – snoms VoIP Business-Telefone sind voll kompatibel innerhalb der SIP-Familie und anbieterspezifischen Adaptionen“.

„Der Vorteil sämtlicher SIP-basierten Geräte und Dienste besteht für den Nutzer darin“, so Knieling, „dass er diese von verschiedenen Anbietern kombinieren kann.” Entscheidende Schritte in Richtung Interoperabilität sind für snom die kürzlich erfolgreich durchgeführten Tests durch die IP-Service-Anbieter QSC und BroadSoft.

Über snom

Qualität, Sicherheit, Interoperabilität, Design, eine attraktive Preisgestaltung und vor allem Funktionalitäten, die dem Bedarf moderner Business-Kommunikation entsprechen, sind die Maßstäbe, an denen sich snom orientiert. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Herstellern findet der Anwender die gesamte Software als Firmware auf jedem Telefon, was Updates oder das Herunterladen neuer Features extrem erleichtert. snom Kunden profitieren vor allem von der Flexibilität, die die snom Telefone bieten, inklusive der Kompatibilität zu allen SIP-basierten Telefonsystemen. Gegründet 1996 in Berlin verfügt snom heute auch über Niederlassungen in Italien, Frankreich und den USA. Das Unternehmen ist darüber hinaus mit einem Netzwerk von über 200 autorisierten Vertriebspartnern in 60 Ländern weltweit vertreten. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unter www.snom.com

snom technology Named to 2005 Pulver 100

snom technology AG (www.snom.com) has been named to pulvermedia’s Pulver 100 — the foremost listing of privately-held companies representing the future of IP communications. The list of 2005 Pulver 100 inductees was released globally by pulvermedia on September 7.

Produced since 2002, the four-year-old Pulver 100 listing documents VoIP’s rapid evolution away from the vertically integrated telecom model of the last century, towards a networking-industry model espousing open interfaces, connectivity decoupled from services, and software decoupled from hardware.

“The pulver 100 has become an indicator of the leading edge in IP communications, and the companies named to this year’s list represent the future of our industry,” said Jeff Pulver, Founder and Chairman of pulvermedia, quoted in the September 7 release. “I’m proud to announce this year’s winners, and I look forward to honoring them at Fall VON.”

“We’re thrilled to have been named to the 2005 Pulver 100,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, snom’s Sales and Marketing Director. “snom is committed to open standards-based VoIP. Our telephones are designed for full compatibility with the evolving family of SIP standards, and vendor-specific adaptations of same. They deliver real value to end users, integrators, service providers and other stakeholders, without the penalties of single-vendor lock-in.”

snom will demonstrate its full line of SIP-standard business telephones at Fall 2005 VON (Boston Convention Center — September 19-22, Booth 351). All snom IP telephones are engineered and priced appropriately to serve small, medium and large enterprises in a broad range of business contexts — providing easy access to the rich feature-sets of SIP-based IP PBX, IP Centrex, hosted IP PBX, IP contact center and other premise-based and carrier VoIP solutions. Among other achievements, snom recently completed interoperability validation as a technology partner with BroadSoft, proving snom’s compatibility with VoIP services from over 110 carriers, worldwide, hosted on BroadSoft’s BroadWorks® VoIP application platform.

“We’re looking forward to meeting with customers, VARs and potential partners at Fall 2005 VON in Boston,” says Dr. Knieling, “and showing how our award-winning IP telephones meet the most demanding standards of the global marketplace.” more

snom präsentiert seine SIP Business-Telefone bei der Fall VON und dem Berliner VoIP Forum

Die snom technology AG stellt auf dem VoIP Forum in Berlin (7.-8. September) und der Fall 2005 VON (19.-22. September 2005, Stand # 351) ihr komplettes Spektrum an SIP-basierten VoIP Business-Telefonen vor: von den beliebten Einstiegsmodellen snom 190 und snom 320 bis hin zum Komforttelefon snom 360 für den professionellen Einsatz.

Die Telefone wurden speziell für die Anforderungen moderner Unternehmen entwickelt und bieten die vielfältigen Funktionalitäten von SIP-basierten IP PBX, IP Centrex, gehosteten IP PBX, IP Contact Center und anderen Carrier VoIP-Lösungen.

Alle snom-Telefone bieten hervorragende Audio-Qualität, elegantes Design und durchdachte ergonomische Eigenschaften. Sie sind mit einer Vielzahl nützlicher Features ausgestattet: der Zugriff darauf erfolgt entweder über Funktionstasten, zusätzliche programmierbaren Tasten, deren Zahl sich modular je nach individuellen Anforderungen erweitern lässt, oder über intuitive menü- und webbasierte User-Interfaces. Netzwerkmanager und VoIP Service Provider profitieren von anspruchsvollen SIP-basierten Features für Fern-Administration, – Upgrade und -Customizing, konfigurierbarer Sicherheit, Firewall und NAT traversal.

snoms IP-Telefone entsprechen alle mit SIPs und SRTP den aktuellen Sicherheitsvorgaben der IETF für VoIP-Umgebungen und verhindern damit ungewollten Datenzugriff. Sie können so konfiguriert werden, dass beide Gesprächseilnehmer authentifiziert sein müssen und die Daten so verschlüsselt sind, dass so genanntes “Spoofing” (Datenmanipulation) und “Eavesdropping” (Mithören) kaum möglich ist – unverzichtbar für den VoIP-Einsatz in sensiblen und sicheren Bereichen wie im Banken- oder Gesundheitswesen.

Neben erfolgreichen Interoperabilitätstests mit dem VoIP-Diensteanbieter QSC ist snom seit kurzem Partner von BroadSoft, was snoms Engagement in Sachen offene Standards und damit auch das Bekenntnis für größere Anwenderfreiheit bei der Produktwahl unterstreicht. So sind snom-Telefone zertifiziert für “plug and play” mit IP Centrex, gehosteten IP PBX und anderen VoIP-Services von über 110 Carriern weltweit, die auf der sich permanent verändernden BroadSoft Carrier VoIP-Plattform BroadWorks® angeboten werden.

“snoms neue Strategie ist ganz auf offene Standards ausgerichtet”, sagt snom-Gründer und Vorstand Dr. Christian Stredicke. “Unsere Telefone sind kompatibel innerhalb der SIP-Familie und der anbieterspezifischen Adaptionen. Sie liefern Anwendern, Integratoren und Service Providern einen großen Mehrwert, ohne dass diese dabei auf einen einzigen Anbieter angewiesen sind”.

snom’s VoIP telephones successful in QSC test

Following extensive tests in the laboratory of the Cologne telecommunications provider QSC, the VoIP telephones snom 190 and snom 360 of the Berlin company snom technology have been authorized for use in the private and business environment.

In detailed tests, QSC examined the compatibility between the snom appliances and the QSC softswitch platform. “For our authorization, in addition to the operability and stability of the telephones, what counted was a high level of flexibility and adaptability in terms of software updates or a changed situation of the customer. The professionalism of the support given by the telephone provider is equally important”, states Christian Roth, system engineer at QSC. The tested snom telephones authorized for use in the private and business customer environment can be ordered by QSC IP telephony customers under www.qsc-shop.de.

Dr. Christian Stredicke, founder and director of snom, is also happy with the results of the tests: “It is our mutual goal to attune and guarantee an optimal interoperability in the future, particularly ahead of new software versions”. snom is planning similar tests with other VoIP service providers worldwide.

Nach ausführlichen Tests im Labor des Kölner Telekommunikationsanbieters QSC sind die VoIP-Telefone snom 190 und snom 360 des Berliner Unternehmens snom technology für den Einsatz im Privat- und Business-Umfeld freigegeben

In detaillierten Tests prüfte QSC die Kompatibilität zwischen den snom-Geräten und der QSC Softswitch-Plattform. “Für unsere Freigabe zählte neben der Funktionsfähigkeit und der Stabilität der Telefone eine hohe Flexibilität und Anpassungsfähigkeit bei Software-Updates oder einer veränderten Situation beim Kunden.

Entscheidend ist ebenso, mit welcher Professionalität der Support des Telefon-Anbieters arbeitet”  so Christian Roth, System-Ingenieur bei QSC. Die getesteten und für den Einsatz im Privat- und Geschäftskundenumfeld freigegebenen snom Telefone können QSC IPfonie Kunden unter www.qsc-shop.de bestellen.

Neues Firmware-Update 4.0 für das VoIP-Telefon snom 360

Die neue Version 4.0 der Firmware für das VoIP-Telefon snom 360 bietet größere Kompatibilität zu SIP-Telefonie Providern, verbessertes Audio-, Bandbreiten- und Speicher-Management sowie höhere Performance und Flexibilität.

Bekannt durch sein großes Display, den eingebauten Sicherheitsfeatures und zahlreichen Funktionen, die den Büroalltag erleichtern, bietet das snom 360 durch die neue Firmware 4.0 jede Menge zusätzliche Extras und Verbesserungen:

Erweitert wurde die Interoparabilität zu den SIP-Telefonie Providern (ITSP). Mit der Version 4.0 arbeitet das snom 360 nahezu “plug and play” mit den meisten SIP-basierenden ITSP Netzbetreiber-Diensten. Zusätzlich ist das IP-Telefon zu weitaus mehr Serviceanbietern kompatibel, die heute noch keine NAT Problem-Lösungen wie beispielsweise Session Border Controller einsetzen.

Ein verbessertes Speicher-Management und die Unterstützung der aktuellen IETF-Spezifikation Bridged-Line Appearance (BLA) ermöglichen die gleichzeitige Nutzung von 12 Leitungen bei 12 verschiedenen Providern und den flexiblen Einsatz in gängigen Telefonieanwendungen.

Verbesserte Audio-Features und Bandbreiten-Management – Das snom 360 ist nun mit optionaler Silence Suppression und Voice Activity Detection ausgestattet, was einen geringeren Bandbreiten-Verbrauch bedeutet. Auch gibt es weniger Nebengeräusche.

Das neue Speicher-Management erhöht zusammen mit erweiterten programmierbaren Funktionen Flexibilität und Power des snom 360 für Nutzer, Integratoren und Entwickler. Die Konfigurieroptionen wurden wesentlich verbessert. Vor allem Entwickler werden sich freuen, dass nun weitaus mehr vorhandene Power der 360 Linux Plattform für integrierte Telefon-Applikationen nutzbar wird.

Bei den Web- und User-Interface Features gibt es verschiedene Erweiterungen. Zum Beispiel beim Keypad, dessen Menüs überarbeitet und eine effizientere Cursorkontrolle eingestellt wurden. Neu beim Web-Interface sind verbesserte Statusanzeigen und Wählmöglichkeiten.

Die Version 4.0 stattet das snom 360 mit einem SNMP-Agent (Simple Network Management Protocol) aus, der Fernadministration ermöglicht und für professionelle Betreiber Telefoniedaten zu Netzwerkmanagement-Systemen liefert oder Ausfälle meldet, falls es nötig ist.

Mit der neuen Firmware-Version führt snom zu Gunsten eines sicheren Updates einen Lizenzkey zur Authentifizierung bei künftigen Firmware-Downloads ein: ein Standard in punkto Sicherheit, der auch von Partnern und OEM Kunden vertrauensvoll genutzt werden kann.

“Das snom 360 ist das Flaggschiff innerhalb unserer VoIP-Telefon Produktlinie und seit seinem Einsatz in der Praxis haben wir von Distributoren und Anwendern sehr viel positives Feedback bekommen”, sagt Dr. Christian Stredicke, CEO von snom. Die Software-Version 4.0 markiert einen weiteren entscheidenden Schritt: Sie ist das Produkt monatelanger Arbeit, an dem mit ihrer Kritik und Vorschlägen vor allem Reseller, Integratoren, Carrier und “Early Adopters” beteiligt waren. “Dennoch ist die neue Firmware mehr als bloß eine erweiterte Neuauflage”, so Stredicke. “SIP ist mittlerweile ein stabiler Standard. Wir wollen das in einer neuen “Release-Strategie” widerspiegeln, die im Sinne des Nutzers mit weniger häufigen Updates auskommt, dafür größeren Fokus auf Stabiltät und Nutzen setzt”.

Einfache Installation

Der Update erfolgt einfach durch das Herunterladen zweier Dateien von der snom-Website, die dann auf dem Telefon zu installieren sind. Aktiviert wird das ganze mit einem Lizenzkey, den man von snom per ZIP-File erhält. Das Herunterladen ist kostenfrei.

snom Releases Version 4.0 Firmware for snom 360 IP Phone

Enhanced Provider Interoperability, Improved Audio, Bandwidth and Memory Management Provide Unparalleled Performance and Flexibility.

snom technology AG (www.snom.com) has announced release of its Version 4.0 firmware upgrade for the snom 360 IP telephone, introduced earlier this year at VON and CeBIT.

Heralded as a revolutionary step forward in IP business telephone design, the snom 360′s large display, built-in SIP-standard security and rich feature set are now enhanced by Version 4.0 improvements including:

Enhanced Provider Interoperability – With Version 4.0, the snom 360 can “plug and play” with most SIP-based iTSP carrier services; transparently adapting to a far broader range of providers that do not yet use session border controllers.

12-Line Capability – Improved memory management and support for the IETF’s latest Bridged-Line Appearance (BLA) specification lets the snom 360 access up to twelve lines, from different providers, and work flexibly in popular “key system” configurations.

Improved Audio Features, Bandwidth Management – snom’s Version 4.0 upgrade equips the 360 with optional silence suppression and voice activity detection for reduced bandwidth consumption; as well as improved sidetone and local keytone generation for a more conventional and comfortable audio experience.

New Memory Management - Version 4.0′s improved memory-management system, along with enhancements to platform programmable features, enormously increases the flexibility and power of the snom 360 for end-users, integrators and developers. Configurability has been much enhanced. At deeper levels, developers will discover that much of the underlying power of the snom 360′s Linux platform is now available for use in implementing phone-embedded applications.

Improved Web and User-Interface Features – Version 4.0 makes several key enhancements to the snom 360′s keypad user interface, including revised menus, better cursor control, and improved indicator-light synchronization. The web interface has also been enhanced with several new features, new status indications, and improved dialing capability.

SNMP Management – With Version 4.0, the snom 360 is now equipped with an SNMP agent, permitting easy remote management and alerting via enterprise- and carrier-class SNMP management infrastructure.

Secure Firmware Update Mechanism – Starting with Version 4.0 snom is introducing use of a license key for authenticated firmware updates: an industry standard in security that can be used by partners with complete confidence, and a great tool for snom OEM products.

“The flagship snom 360 was immediately recognized as an important addition to snom’s VoIP phone product line,” says Dr. Christian Stredicke, snom’s CEO. “And our Version 4.0 software marks a second important watershed: the product of months of effort, spent listening to highly-motivated resellers, integrators, carriers, beta customers and early adopters, assessing their experience, and meticulously implementing their wish-lists.” Stredicke continues: “But Version 4.0 is also far more than an incremental release. SIP has become a stable standard. We reflect this in a new release policy with less-frequent updates and more focus on stability and usability.”

Simple Installation

snom 360s can be upgraded to Version 4.0 by downloading two files from snom’s website and installing them on the phone. The upgrade can then be activated by obtaining an unlocking key from snom’s online key generator. snom’s group installation system has been enhanced to make upgrade and key distribution to multiple telephones a simple process. Specific upgrade instructions can be found at snom’s Upgrade Page.

Like earlier releases, the update to Version 4.0 is free of charge.

Snom’s Dr. Christian Stredicke to Address ENTNET@SuperComm, June 6

Snom technology AG founder/CEO will discuss SIP Security and NAT Issues

Dr. Christian Stredicke, founder and CEO of Berlin-based SIP telephone and communications server/infrastructure vendor snom technology AG, will address the 5th International Enterprise Networking and Services Conference (ENTNET), held Monday, June 6, from 2:00-5:15 PM at Chicago’s McCormick Convention Center (McCormick Place South Building S103) in conjunction with SuperComm 2005. Dr. Stredicke, an internationally-recognized expert on SIP, will discuss SIP security, with special focus on NAT/firewall issues (2:30 PM). Later in the conference, he will participate in a roundtable discussion with all participants, exploring the business case for SIP (3:50 PM).

Organized by Workshop Chair Samir Chatterjee, Associate Professor at Claremont Graduate University, the ENTNET conference brings together academic and industry experts to discuss top-of-mind enterprise networking and services issues and solutions.

In addition to Dr. Stredicke, this year’s agenda includes speakers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Avaya, Nortel, and Pingtel, and will include presentations on aspects of SIP ranging from IM and Presence, to SIP Trunking, to H.350 Multimedia Directory Services. At 4:50 PM, the conference will conclude with live demonstrations of products and technology by participating vendors and institutions.

Security is crucial to broad acceptance of IP telephony, but hype, distortion and misinformation are rampant, making implementors and customers uncertain. Dr. Stredicke will clarify the inter-related issues of content and signaling encryption, device and end-user authentication in SIP, and show how current IETF-recommended security strategies and protocols function in the network, paying particular attention to the interoperation of SIP with network address translation (NAT) and firewall apparatus. “Meaningful SIP security must be standards-based and intrinsic,” says Dr. Stredicke. “Both to promote interoperability and to permit reliably securing a host of topologically- and logically-distinct VoIP implementations. Customers should not have to pay for security by penalizing flexibility and cost-effectiveness.”

Christian Stredicke was born in 1968 in Germany, and matriculated at the Technical University of Berlin. From 1989 to 1992 he studied computer science, winning the Erwin Stefan Prize for outstanding scholarship in that discipline and subsequently assuming a five-year teaching position. From 1992 to 1996 he studied Business Administration, and received his Ph.D. in Engineering from the Technical University in 1997. Dr. Stredicke founded snom in 1996, building the company to prominence first in Unix systems consulting and later in the engineering and manufacture of SIP-based VoIP telephones, communications servers, and enterprise VoIP infrastructure. He now functions as CEO.

snom’s product line includes several SIP telephones and core infrastructure implementing the IETF’s currently-recommended strategy for content and signaling encryption (SIP(s)/sRTP), including the snom 190 (recently judged “Best Affordable SIP Phone” by Network Computing Magazine) and the large-display 360, introduced in March. snom technology AG also makes a complete line of scaleable SIP IP PBXs, communications and media servers, including the enterprise-class 4S IP PBX and enterprise/carrier 4S SIP proxy/media server suite and the tiny, powerful snom “VoIP Box”: a complete, 50-user SME IP PBX with built-in voice messaging, in a tiny “appliance” enclosure.

snom stellt das neue SIP Business Telefone snom 320 auf der SUPERCOMM vor

snom technology stellt das neue, konferenzfähige und sichere SIP Business Telefon snom 320 auf der SUPERCOMM, Chicago, vor SUPERCOMM – 6.-9. Juni, 2005, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL (Stand 60089)

Ideal fürs Büro und für alle, die viel telefonieren ist das neue snom 320 mit eingebauter Freisprechmöglichkeit (full duplex) und Dreierkonferenzfunktion.

Die eingebaute Konferenzfunktionalität maximiert die Audioqualität, indem es die Sprachverzögerung zwischen den Gesprächsteilnehmern minimiert und reduziert zudem die benötigte Bandbreite um 33%. Wenn Konferenzen auf den Endgeräten durchgeführt werden, wird weniger Leistung auf den zentralen Netzwerkkomponenten benötigt und das senkt die Total Costs of Ownership und verbessert die Skalierbarkeit des VoIP Systems.

Das snom 320 ist mit einem zweizeiligen grafischen LCD Display ausgestattet.12 programmierbare Tasten mit LEDs ermöglichen schnellen Zugang zu den Nebenstellen. Anruferliste und Adressverzeichnis umfassen jeweils 100 Einträge. Weitere Features wie die Sperrung anonymer Anrufer, das Herunterladen von Klingeltönen oder die automatische Rufannahme sind nur einige aus der Fülle an Features, die den Anrufkomfort garantieren und die Produktivität erhöhen. Das snom 320 lässt sich entweder einfach über das Keypad oder aufgrund des eingebauten Webservers am Bildschirm eines angeschlossenen PCs konfigurieren.

“Wie unsere anderen VoIP Telefone, haben wir auch das snom 320 für den flexiblen Einsatz mit SIP-basierten IP PBX Geräten entwickelt, egal ob Hardware beim Geschäftskunden steht oder gehostete Services verwendet werden”, so snom-Gründer und CEO Dr. Christian Stredicke. “Als Einstiegsmodell ist das snom 320 überaus leistungsfähig und sicher und eignet sich für den professionellen Einsatz überall dort, wo die TCO gesenkt werden sollen und wo nach echtem Mehrwert in Sachen VoIP- Implementation gefragt wird.”

Sicher und leicht zu managen

Mit dem snom 320 ist sowohl einfache als auch Fernkonfiguration möglich. Es ist schnell zu installieren und konfiguriert sich weitestgehend selbst. Ein umfangreicher Codec-Support und eine hohe Kompatibilität garantieren den problemlosen Einsatz von snom-Telefonen zusammen mit SIP-fähigen Geräten anderer Hersteller.

Die Unterstützung von STUN, NAT, ENUM und zahlreicher anderer Funktionen ermöglicht den flexiblen Einsatz hinter lokalen Proxies, IP PBXs oder gehosteten VoIP Services.

Wie bei den anderen Telefonen in snom’s  Produktportfolio, schützt auch das snom 320 mit dem Sicherheitsstandard SRTP – einer aktuellen Spezifikation der Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) vor Lauschangriffen und mit TLS vor dem ungewollten Zugriff auf Signalisierungs- und Authentifizierungsdaten.

snom to Debut Secure, Conference-Ready SIP Business Telephone at SUPERCOMM

snom technology AG will introduce the snom 320 – a secure, SIP-based VoIP business telephone with built-in conference bridging – at Chicago’s SUPERCOMM show.

SUPERCOMM – June 6-9, 2005, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL (Booth 60089)

Ideal for general office and knowledge-worker environments, the snom 320 features built-in, full-duplex speakerphone and conference bridging for three-way calls.

On-phone bridging maximizes audio quality by minimizing round-trip latency, and reduces bandwidth consumption by 33%. Distributed bridging also reduces need for centralized signal processing horsepower on IP PBXs and  host communications servers – lowering total cost of ownership, improving VoIP system scaleability, and enabling use of more compact and affordable VoIP premise equipment.

The snom 320 also features a 2 x 24 semi-graphic LCD display, 12 programmable keys, a 100-number call memory and onboard address book, custom call blocking, downloadable ring-tones and other sophisticated features. The phone can be configured and dialed via its keypad or through a web GUI loaded to an associated PC by the 320’s built-in web server.

“Like other award-winning snom VoIP phones, the snom 320 is engineered for flexible deployment with SIP-standard IP PBX appliances, enterprise-grade VoIP premise equipment or hosted services.” Says snom CEO Christian Stredicke, PhD. “Uniquely powerful for an entry-level product, secure and standards-based, the snom 320 lowers TCO and adds value to virtually any real-world VoIP implementation.”

Secure and Easy to Manage

The snom 320 is remote-manageable and firmware-upgradeable, uniquely easy to install, and largely self-configuring. Broad codec support and full compatibility with current SIP recommendations insures interoperability; support for STUN (for NAT traversal), ENUM (for dialed-number resolution) and other state-of-the-art features enables flexible deployment, behind local proxies, IP PBXs or hosted VoIP services. Like other phones in snom’s current portfolio, the snom 320 supports the security standard SRTP – a current specification from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for protection against eavesdropping and sniffing of signaling and authentication data.

snom’s new VoIP Box is revolutionizing VoIP telephony in small and medium-sized enterprizes and is shown at CeBIT Australia, (24-26 May)

After the enormous response to the snom IP PBX Box launch at CeBIT Germany, it’s now Australia’s turn: The 9x8x4 cm-small SIP-based snom VoIP Box is suitable for companies with up to 50 users. It serves as a complete solution for an IP telephone system that can be operated independently of computer or server, and can be integrated into a local network without any problems.

While present-day telephony solutions consist of telephone switch software, software for extended performance features such as voicemail or conferences, and a hardware gateway for connection to the ISDN or analog fixed-line network, the snom Box, together with a VoIP account of a VoIP service provider, offers everything in one and therefore saves unnecessary expenditure for hardware components (gateway, server).

The Box contains a compact integrated hardware platform as well as the snom 4S software with proxy and media server, making the installation of the IP telephone system as easy as ABC! The Box doesn’t contain any moveable parts such as hard drives or ventilators, and is therefore durable and extremely low-maintenance. What’s more, it is completely soundless. After just a few minutes to install the Box, a perfectly functioning telephone system is immediately ready to use.

“The significance of following a wildly successful BOX launch at CeBIT Hannover with a launch at CeBIT Sydney was an opportunity we didn’t want to miss out on”, says Scott Rigby from the Melbourne-based snom Distributor, Enabled Networks. “The market for embedded devices is just starting to open up in Australia, and this tiny but uber-powerful IP PBX is going to cause a fair bit of eye-popping and jaw-dropping. It will raise the bar for embedded device applications in this country.”

Rigby adds: “It’s fine for IT Hobbyists to run free IP PBX software on an old PC and call it a solution, but SME’s want “set and forget” reliability and a manufacturer behind the product that responds rapidly to any issues that may arise. This definately puts Snom and the “BOX” in a class of it’s own”.

The German developer and manufacturer of VoIP telephones and software is preparing itself internationally for the expected Voice-over-IP boom of the next few years and is continuously expanding its worldwide sales network at full throttle. “The partnership with Enabled Network Australia is a further step regarding snom’s global reach”, says Dr. Michael Knieling, Executive Director at snom technology AG. In order to further extend the distributor network snom now has its sights set above all on potential resellers in Canada, Taiwan and China as well as in Russia and the Baltic States.

Enabled Networks Pty Ltd is a Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in the Melbourne CBD. As a WebCentral Gold Partner, they leverage the Application and Network Services available through WebCentral and supplement them with additional offerings such as IP Telephony and Remote Backup.

Unexpectedly large demand for snom’s new VoIP Box for small and medium-sized enterprises

The rush to get hold of the 9x8x4 cm SIP-based snom VoIP Box for companies of up to 50 users, which was shown for the first time at this year’s CeBIT and VON Spring (USA), has been substantially greater than expected. “With enquiries of up to 500 a month, delivery times in the current beginning stages are up to 12 weeks”, announces Sales and Marketing Director Dr. Michael Knieling.

Easy to integrate with any LAN, engineered to partner with low-cost VoIP services, the 9x8x4 snom VoIP Box is a complete, stand-alone, 50-user IP business phone system with conferencing, enhanced voice messaging and other advanced productivity features.

Most present-day enterprise IP telephony solutions comprise one or more servers (running software for call management and media processing), plus hardware gateways for connection to the ISDN or analog fixed-line network. Lots of equipment – all with moving parts – means expense, integration hassles, reliability problems.

By contrast, the snom VoIP Box, paired with standard VoIP accounts from a VoIP service provider, offers everything you need for enterprise-class IP telephony in one tiny enclosure. Small, silent-running, easy to configure, affordable, robust … the snom VoIP Box is nevertheless replete with state-of-the-art features, and highly compliant with emerging VoIP standards.

The VoIP Box contains a compact integrated hardware platform running snom’s industry-leading 4S software with proxy and media server, making installation and management simple!

“With the VoIP Box, we are taking IP telephony an important step towards plug-and-play and user-friendliness,” says Knieling. “Just a few minutes to configure, and the telephone system is online and taking calls. And the users are enjoying all the performance features of an enterprise-class iPBX, managing them via user-friendly, feature-rich IP telephones, highly-mobile softphones, and powerful web interfaces.”

A Setup Wizard on the snom Website www.snom.com lets end-users configure the VoIP Box without assistance; alternatively, the snom support team and worldwide partner network stands ready to provide installation and technical support.

Der Ansturm auf die 9x8x4 cm kleine SIP-basierte snom VoIP-Box für Unternehmen bis zu 50 Nutzern, die zum ersten Mal auf der diesjährigen CeBIT und VON Spring (USA) gezeigt wurde, ist weitaus größer als erwartet. “Bei Anfragen von bis zu etwa 500 Stück im Monat haben wir im derzeitigen Anfangsstadium Lieferzeiten bis zu 12 Wochen”, gibt Vertriebs- und Marketingvorstand Dr. Michael Knieling bekannt.

Sie dient als Komplettlösung für ein IP-Telefonsystem, das unabhängig vom Rechner oder Server betrieben werden kann und lässt sich problemlos in ein lokales Netz integrieren.

Die Box enthält eine kompakte integrierte Hardware-Plattform sowie die snom 4S Software mit Proxy und Media Server. Damit ermöglicht sie einfachste Installation des IP-Telefonsystems. Die Box enthält keinerlei bewegliche Teile wie etwa Festplatten oder Lüfter, ist daher langlebig, extrem wartungsarm und läuft völlig geräuschlos.

“Die VoIP-BOX bedeutet einen wichtigen Schritt in Richtung plug-and-play und damit auch in Richtung Benutzerfreundlichkeit”, so Knieling. “Die Installation der Box dauert nur wenige Minuten und es steht sofort ein einwandfrei funktionierendes Telefonsystem bereit. Und zwar mit sämtlichen Leistungsmerkmalen einer TK-Nebenstellenanlage, die wiederum über Webinterfaces erweiterbar sind”.

Die Einrichtung der snom VoIP Box kann der Nutzer selbst per Setup-Wizard auf der snom-Website www.snom.com vornehmen oder für Konfiguration sowie Anschluss den Support von snom und dessen weltweiten Partnern nutzen.

snom und Stalker Software – Sprache trifft auf E-Mail

Die beiden Spezialisten gehen Partnerschaft für VoIP-Lösungen ein.

Stalker Software, der Messaging-Technologieführer, und snom, der Hersteller von VoIP-Systemen, geben auf der CeBIT ihre Partnerschaft bekannt. Die beiden Unternehmen arbeiten im Bereich VoIP-Lösungen für den Mittelstand künftig eng zusammen. Die beiden Voice- und Messagingspezialisten liefern eine gemeinsame Lösung, die eine zentrale Plattform für Voice und E-Mail bietet.

Anwender von Stalker Software CommuniGate Pro können ab Version 4.3. beispielsweise aus ihrem Outlook-Adressbuch einen Kontakt und das Kommunikationsmedium auswählen. Je nachdem, ob es sich um eine Mail, Instant Messaging oder einen Anruf handelt, wird automatisch die notwendige Applikation gestartet. Die Telefonie funktioniert dabei mit Voice over IP-Technik, die snom beisteuert. Das macht es beispielsweise auch möglich, dass eingehende Telefonate unabhängig vom Aufenthaltsort angenommen oder Sprachmitteilungen als Audio-Datei direkt an die E-Mail-Inbox weitergeleitet werden.

“Die Vorteile der gemeinsamen snom- und Stalker Software-Lösung liegen nicht nur in der möglichen Kostenersparnis durch VoIP, sondern vor allem darin, eine integrierte Kommunikationsplattform zu nutzen, ganz gleich ob die Kommunikation sich der Sprach- oder Daten-Übermittlung bedient”, so Dr. Harry Behrens, snom technology AG. “Hierbei werden die Mail- und Messagingkomponente von CommuniGate Pro und die VoIP-Komponente von snom bereitgestellt. Dies gewährleistet Nutzern, dass ihre Kommunikationsplattform sowohl im Mail als auch im Voice-Bereich auf Software von Marktführern in ihrem jeweiligen Segment zugreift.”

Die gemeinsame Software-Lösung von snom und Stalker Software garantiert mittels der Integration von E-Mail-Server und snom IP PBX eine einfach und schnell zu implementierende Infrastruktur für VoIP und Unified Messaging. Auch komplexe VoIP-Szenarien lassen sich so realisieren.  Die Lösung gewährleistet kleinen und großen Unternehmen, Telekommunikations- und Netzwerkprovidern – mittels SIP – VoIP, Multimedia, Instant Messaging, Remote Application Sharing oder andere Echtzeit-Applikationen zu nutzen. Außerdem garantiert die Lösung durch die Einbindung von snom VoIP Software automatisch Registrierungs-Services sowie SIP Proxy-Services und umfassende “Near End” und “Far End” NAT-Traversal-Services, die bisher nur über komplexe Architekturen oder kostspielige Hardware-Lösungen möglich waren.

snom ist für sein Know-how im Bereich von VoIP für höchste Sicherheit und einfache Handhabung seiner SIP-Telefone bekannt. Darüber hinaus erfüllen snom-Telefone die höchsten VoIP-Sicherheitsvorgaben der Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) und bieten zahlreiche Funktionen für effizientes Telefonieren. Das snom 4S IP PBX ersetzt im modernen Büro die herkömmliche TK-Nebenstellenanlage als zukunftsweisende IP-Lösung. Sämtliche Leistungsmerkmale einer modernen TK-Anlage stehen damit zur Verfügung und lassen sich beliebig erweitern.

Stalker Software bietet mit CommuniGate Pro einen einzigartigen Messaging Server. CommuniGate Pro unterstützt mit 8.500 Kunden über 58 Millionen Nutzer mit E-Mail und Echtzeit-Applikationen. CommuniGate Pro ist für mehr als 30 Betriebssysteme verfügbar und findet Einsatz in unterschiedlichsten Firmengrößen, von kleineren Unternehmen mit 25 Mitarbeitern und E-Mail-Nutzern bis zu den größten Service Providern mit Millionen von Nutzern. CommuniGate Pro bietet für den Mittelstand eine robuste plattform-übergreifende Alternative zu herkömmlichen Groupware-Anwendungen. Es ermöglicht eine kosteneffiziente, leicht zu verwaltende Umgebung ohne auf die notwendige Groupware-Funktionalität verzichten zu müssen. Für 99,999 Prozent Verfügbarkeit und Sicherheit bietet CommuniGate Pro die Dynamic Cluster Lösung

“Der Markt für VoIP ist endlich reif für den breiten Einsatz. SIP wird sich zu einem Standard für VoIP und Unified Messaging entwickeln”, erklärt Dr.-Ing. Thomas M. Fleissner, Geschäftsführer, Stalker GmbH Deutschland. “Gerade im Mittelstand bestehen große Potentiale für VoIP. Auch für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen wird sich der Einsatz von Internet-Telefonie rechnen. Die Telefonkosten werden sich reduzieren und die Unternehmenskommunikation wird umfassend vereinheitlicht. Wir bieten mit unserem Partner snom dabei eine breite, flexible und leicht administrierbare Basis.”

snom and Stalker Software – speech meets email

Both specialists enter into a partnership for VoIP solutions

Stalker Software, the technology leader in email, collaboration, and real-time communication solutions, and snom, the manufacturer of VoIP systems, are to announce their partnership at CeBIT. Both companies will work closely together in the VoIP solutions segment for medium-sized companies. Both voice and messaging specialists deliver a common solution that offers a central platform for voice and email.

Users of Stalker Software CommuniGate Pro version 4.3. or above can for example select a contact and the method of communication in their Outlook address book. According to whether they are sending an email, using instant messaging or making a call, the necessary application will automatically be started. The telephony works by means of Voice over IP technology, to which snom contributes. This also makes it possible for incoming calls to be answered irrespective of location, or voice messages to be directly forwarded as an audio file to the email inbox.

According to Dr. Harry Behrens of snom technology AG: “The advantages of the snom and Stalker Software solution lie not only in the possible cost savings via VoIP, but above all in the use of an integrated communication platform, regardless of whether it is operating as voice or data transmission”. “For this purpose the mail and messaging components of CommuniGate Pro and the VoIP components from snom are supplied. This ensures users that their communication platform can access mail and voice software from market leaders in their respective segments.

The common software solution from snom and Stalker Software guarantees a simple and quick to implement infrastructure for VoIP and unified messaging by integrating the email server with the snom IP PBX. Complex VoIP scenarios can also be realised in this way. By means of SIP, the solution ensures small and large companies as well as telecommunication and network providers the use of VoIP, multimedia, instant messaging, remote application sharing or other real-time applications. Furthermore the solution guarantees, through the integration of snom VoIP software, automatic registration services such as SIP proxy services and extensive near end and far end NAT traversal services, which were previously only possible with complex architectures or expensive hardware solutions.

Snom is famous for its know how in the field of high security VoIP and simple to operate SIP telephones. In addition, snom telephones meet the highest VoIP security guidelines of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and offer numerous functions to telephone efficiently. In the modern office the snom 4S IP PBX replaces traditional telecom branch exchanges as a forward-looking IP solution. All performance factors of a modern telecom branch exchange are available and can be expanded upon any way you choose.

Stalker Software, together with CommuniGate Pro, offers a unique messaging server. CommuniGate Pro, with its 8500 clients, supports over 58 million users with email and real time applications. CommuniGate Pro is available for more than 30 operating systems and can be implemented in companies of various sizes, from smaller companies with 25 employees and email users right up to the largest service providers with millions of users. For medium-sized companies CommuniGate Pro offers a robust, cross-platform alternative to traditional groupware applications. It enables a cost efficient, easy to manage environment without having to do away with the necessary groupware functionality. For 99.999 percent availability and security CommuniGate Pro offers the dynamic cluster solution.

“The market for VoIP is finally ready for wide-spread implementation. SIP will develop into a standard for VoIP and unified messaging,” explained Dr. Thomas M. Fleissner, manager of Stalker GmbH Germany. “Especially for medium-sized companies there is a large potential for VoIP. The use of Internet telephony will also be worthwhile for SMEs. Telephone costs will reduce and the company’s communications will be completely standardised. Together with our partner snom, we offer a wide, flexible and easily administrable base.”

As with all snom products, the snom 360′s standards-based architecture is highly interoperable with SIP-based equipment and software from a growing list of vendors, eliminating lock-in and reducing TCO.

The snom 4S IP PBX is a software-based SIP communications server comprising the 4S Proxy for the management of user and registration data and the 4S Media Server for voicemail, auto-attendant, conferencing and other media processing applications. All features of a modern telecommunications system are present and can be extended as desired. The pure software solution can be adapted quickly and flexibly to new requirements and environments.

The 9 x 8 x 4 cm snom VoIP Box is a 50-user implementation of the snom 4S IP PBX in a compact network appliance, ideal for small- to medium-sized enterprises requiring a powerful, secure and cost-effective IP voice solution. The durable, low-maintenance integrated hardware platform has no moving parts; it hosts a complete snom 4S SIP proxy and media server supporting a full enterprise PBX feature set, plus voice messaging, conferencing and other applications. SIP standards compliance enables integration with peripherals, components and applications from numerous VoIP providers, meaning that the user no longer needs to be tied to one particular provider (see below for photo download).

The Two-Minute Office Move!

snom’s robust, SIP-standard products are easy to use and administer — delivering the fast configuration, painless moves/adds/changes and other TCO-reducing and productivity-enhancing benefits users demand. You can unplug a working 4S IP PBX and all its phones, move them to a new office and LAN, enter a few requisite network parameters via the 4S web-based management console, and begin making and taking calls in under two minutes! snom’s SIP-based IP telephones and components also provide a cost-effective migration path to standards-based VoIP for users who prefer to implement solutions gradually.

snom to Debut Secure, Standard SIP-Based VoIP Business Telephone snom 360 at VON and CeBIT

snom technology AG will introduce the snom 360 – a secure, SIP-based IP business telephone – at two key industry events in early March. Debut of the snom 360 at Spring VON (San Jose, CA, March 7-10) and CeBIT 2005 (Hanover, Germany, March 10-16) will mark the launch of a new series of feature-rich SIP-based VoIP phones for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The snom 360 targets users who demand excellent audio quality, the latest security standards, ease of use and powerful business telephone features.

Dedicated keys insure quick access to key audio and call control functions, while context-sensitive menus permit efficient management of relevant capabilities as calls progress. 12 programmable keys can be allocated as desired. “Busy lamp” LEDs let callers see if colleagues are available. The snom 360′s backlit graphical display is moveable, and can be positioned for easy reading at any angle.

Additional sophisticated call control features, full call detail, configuration options and online help can be accessed via browser from the attached PC. The snom 360 also offers numerous features to speed installation, maintenance and administration of the 360 telephone and its supporting VoIP system.

SIP Insures Greater Independence

“Anyone who opts for VoIP on the basis of the open standard SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is at the same time securing greater freedom of choice,” says snom’s founder and CEO Dr. Christian Stredicke. “Most VoIP providers see SIP as the communication protocol of the future.” The great advantage lies in the fact that standard SIP components can be combined, without the user having to tie him or herself to one individual provider.

Maximum Security and Data Protection

In order to avoid trouble from unwanted attacks on speech data, the snom 360 supports the security standards SRTP (Secure Realtime Transport Protocol) and SIPS (SIP Secure) and is therefore in accordance with current recommendations of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for protection against eavesdropping and data theft.

Complete VoIP Structure

For anyone who wishes to establish a SIP-based VoIP network, snom also offers the complete snom 4S software suite, comprising a proxy/registrar for administering user and registration data, a media server for media stream processing in VoIP environments (e.g. voicemail, conference calls, etc.) and a NAT filter for connecting terminals on private networks to an existing VoIP infrastructure. 4S components can be applied individually or combined to satisfy individual requirements.

snom technology AG weltweit auf Partnersuche

Der Entwickler und Hersteller von VoIP-Telefonen und -Software stellt sich international auf den zu erwartenden Voive-over-IP-Boom der nächsten Jahre ein und baut mit Hochdruck sein weltweites Vertriebsnetz aus.

Das Berliner Unternehmen vertreibt den Löwenanteil seiner Produkte über Distributoren, deren Interesse an snom-Geräten und -Komponenten enorm gestiegen ist, seitdem die VoIP-Technologie neben dem Einsatz in Unternehmen auch für den Massenmarkt ausgereift und einsatzfähig ist.

„Im letzten halben Jahr konnten wir die Anzahl unserer Reseller um das Doppelte erhöhen, in Europa sind wir nahezu in jedem Land vertreten“, so CEO und snom-Firmengründer Dr. Christian Stredicke. Neben den deutschen Unternehmen Komsa und Allnet zählen internationale wie Weblink Telecom (Irland), ABP und Netxusa (USA) oder Vegasari (Malaysia) zu den Vertriebspartnern.

Seit diesem Jahr läuft auch in Dubai der Vertrieb von snom-Produkten: „Die Nachfrage hier im Mittleren Osten nach VoIP-Applikationen ist sehr groß und mittlerweile ist eine Marktnische für Produkte entstanden, die das Cisco-Spektrum ergänzen. Wir rechnen für snom mit einem Marktanteil bis zu 15%.“ sagt Denis Pechnov von Olivercom in Dubai.

In Südafrika ist derzeit die Deregulierung des Telekommarktes im Gange, Grund genug für omnilyne, in Sachen snom eine Marketingkampagne zu starten. „Wir wollen 2005 einige Tausend Geräte verkaufen“, prognostiziert Geschäftsführer Greg Daus, „und das ist bei der hohen Produktqualität und bei dem hervorragenden Partner-Support durchaus realistisch“.

Im Visier hat snom als nächstes vor allem potentielle Reseller in Kanada, Taiwan und China sowie in Russland und im Baltikum. Um das Distributoren-Netzwerk weiter auszubauen, nutzt snom 2005 neben zahlreichen anderen internationalen Veranstaltungen auch wieder die CeBIT als Kontaktforum.

snom technology AG on the lookout for partners worldwide

The developer and manufacturer of VoIP telephones and software is preparing itself internationally for the expected Voice-over-IP boom of the next few years and is expanding its worldwide sales network at full throttle.

The Berlin company sells the lion’s share of its products through distributors, whose interest in snom equipment and components has increased enormously since VoIP technology, in addition to its use in business, has also become ready for the mass market.

“In the last six months we have been able to double our number of resellers, and in Europe we are represented in practically every country”, says CEO and snom founder Dr. Christian Stredicke. In addition to the German companies Komsa and Allnet, international companies such as Weblink Telecom (Ireland), ABP and Netxusa (USA) and Vegasari (Malaysia) also count among the sales partners.

Since this year the sale of snom products has also been operating in Dubai: “The demand for VoIP applications here in the Middle East is very great and a market niche has emerged for products that supplement the Cisco spectrum. We are reckoning on a market share of up to 15% for snom” says Denis Pechnov of Olivercom in Dubai.

In South Africa the deregulation of the telecom market is currently underway, reason enough for omnilyne to start a marketing campaign for snom equipment. “We are looking at selling several thousand apparatuses in 2005” forecasts CEO Greg Daus, “and with the high product quality and the excellent partner support this is a perfectly realistic prediction”.

snom now has its sights set above all on potential resellers in Canada, Taiwan and China as well as in Russia and the Baltic States. In order to further extend the distributor network, in 2005, in addition to numerous other international events, snom will again be using the CeBIT as a contact forum.

snom is recognized for its high quality Voice over IP (VoIP) business telephones. Our customers are companies who use interoperable technologies for their enterprise communications. Together with our partners, snom offers solutions that reduce the total cost of ownership, maximize the overall return on investment into telephony infrastructure, and make our customers independent from a single vendor. Founded in 1996 and based in Berlin, the company was amongst the first to adopt the session initiation protocol (SIP), which today is recognized as “the” future telecommunication standard. snom is privately held and incorporated under German law.

Neues VoIP-Telefon snom 190 ganz im Zeichen der Sicherheit

Das snom 190 des gleichnamigen Berliner Unternehmens entspricht höchsten Sicherheits-Vorgaben, die derzeit für VoIP-Gespräche gelten und bietet darüber hinaus zahlreiche leistungsfähige Funktionen für den Büroalltag.

Mit zweizeiligem LCD-Display, alphanumerischer Anruf-ID und einem Benutzer-Interface mit einer Vielzahl an Funktionen erfüllt das snom 190 die Wünsche des anspruchsvollen Internet-Telefonierers. Nützliche Features wie die „Automatische Rufnummernergänzung“ oder der „Rückruf bei besetzt“, erleichtern wesentlich die Arbeit im Büro. Mit dem „Parken“ und dem „Wieder-Ranholen von Anrufen“ funktioniert die Bedienung wie bei bekannten PBX-Anlagen. Und durch den extra Ethernet-Port fällt auch das Umstecken weg.

Mit der technischen Umsetzung der aktuellen Vorgaben durch die Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) setzt snom in Sachen Sicherheit Maßstäbe. Aufgrund der beiden VoIP-Sicherheitsstandards sips (RFC2246) und SRTP (RFC3711) ist das unerwünschte Verfolgen bzw. Mithören von Gesprächen zwischen dem snom 190 und anderen kompatiblen Endgeräten praktisch unmöglich. „Es ist selbstverständlich, dass wir zu einem marktgerechten Preis das Maximum an Sicherheit bieten, was derzeit technisch möglich ist“, so Firmengründer Dr. Christian Stredicke.

Power-over-Ethernet ist beim snom 190 zwar nicht vorhanden, aber es unterstützt dafür den Codec G.723.1. Das bedeutet Kompatibilität zu weitaus mehr Komponenten und Geräten anderer Hersteller. In punkto Gesprächsqualität erreicht das snom 190 damit auch bei geringen Bandbreiten einen Standard, der bisher nur mit Breitbandtechnologie möglich war.

New IP phone snom 190 addresses security in VoIP

With the snom 190, the Berlin company addresses recent concerns about security of VoIP calls and adds productivity features for the business user.

With a two-line LCD display, alphanumeric call ID and a user interface with a multitude of functions, the snom 190 fulfils the desires of the discerning Internet telephone caller and offers everything possible to facilitate the making of calls. Smart features like number-guessing, call completion (subscriber busy/no answer) boost the productivity in day-to-day work. Call parking and call pickup make the phone usable like in the old PBX times. With an extra Ethernet port, having to connect different leads is also a thing of the past.

Using the latest security standards of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), snom sets the pace in the fast-moving VoIP industry. The 190 offers both sips (RFC2246) and SRTP (RFC3711). This makes it practically impossible to tap VoIP calls between the snom 190 and another standards-compliant VoIP endpoint.

“At the extent to which the use of Voice-over-IP is increasing due to advanced technology, obviously security is also permanently under close scrutiny” says snom founder Dr. Christian Stredicke. “It goes without saying that in spite of its competitive price, with the snom 190 we offer the maximum security currently technologically possible against access from the outside such as eavesdropping or manipulation”.

Although it doesn’t provide Power-over-Ethernet, the snom 190 makes up for this by supporting the Codec G.723.1. And this means compatibility with considerably more components of other manufacturers. With respect to speech quality, the snom 190, even with low bandwidths, therefore achieves a standard that was previously only possible with broadband technology.

snom 200: Nr. 1 im Test von „Network Computing“ (USA)

Für die aktuelle August-Ausgabe testete das US-amerikanische Fachmagazin Network Computing in seinen Real-World Labs® günstige SIP-Telefone auf Performance, Kompatibilität und Features. Das snom 200 belegte dabei Platz Eins.

Im Vergleich zu den konkurrierenden Modellen ipDialog SipTone II und Zultys Technologies ZIP 2 bekommt das snom 200 Pluspunkte vor allem mit seinem zweizeiligen LCD-Display und der Tastenanordnung, die bei Anrufübermittlung und Conference Calls aufgrund ihrer einfachen Bedienung gerade für VOIP-Neulinge von Vorteil ist. Die Web-Oberfläche bietet schnelle Button-Programmierung und unterscheidet zwischen Nutzer- und Administrator-Zugang, womit sich unerwünschte Änderungen der Einstellungen problemlos vermeiden lassen.

Das snom 200 hat laut „Network Computing“ neben fünf programmierbaren Funktionstasten den zusätzlichen Vorteil der NAT-Unterstützung und des „trace“-Features, das beim Troubleshooting die Spur der ein- und ausgegangenen Anrufe verfolgen kann und so auftretende Probleme schnell zu beseitigen hilft.

In wenigen Wochen ist ein weiteres VoIP-Telefon für den Privatkunden erhältlich mit all den Features, die auch das snom 200 auszeichnen. Beim neuen snom 190 muss man zwar auf Power-over-Ethernet verzichten, aber es unterstützt im Vergleich zum Modell 200 den zusätzlichen Codec G.723.1 und kann dadurch mit einer größeren Gerätezahl anderer Hersteller gekoppelt werden. Darüber hinaus ist der Nutzer in der Lage, auch über geringe Bandbreiten Telefonate mit der gleichen Qualität zu führen, wie es vorher nur mit Breitbandtechnologie möglich war.

„Es ist für uns keine Frage, dass wir auch den Kunden, die weniger Geld für ein VoIP-Telefon ausgeben wollen, ein Maximum an Qualität, Komfort und Funktionalität bieten“, so snom-Gründer und Vorstand Dr. Christian Stredicke. „Die Anforderungen des Verbrauchers an ein VoIP-Gerät werden letztlich an den herkömmlichen Telefonen gemessen und beeinflussen mit, wie schnell im Privatbereich die neue Technologie großflächig Einzug hält.“

snom 200: No. 1 in test by “Network computing” (USA)

For their current issue, the trade magazine “Network Computing” tested in its Real-World Labs® cost-effective SIP telephones in terms of performance, compatibility and features. The snom 200 came out at first place.

In comparison to the competing models ipDialog SipTone II and Zultys Technologies ZIP 2, snom 200 gained extra points above all for its two-line LCD display and the key arrangement, which in terms of call transmission and conference calls is particularly advantageous for newcomers to VoIP due to its easy operation. The web interface offers quick button programming and distinguishes between user and administrator access, enabling problem-free avoidance of unwanted changes in the settings.

According to “Network Computing”, in addition to its five programmable function keys, the snom 200 has the additional advantage of NAT support and the “trace” feature, which in the troubleshooting can track incoming and outgoing calls, helping to quickly remove any problems that occur.

In a few weeks a further VoIP telephone for private customers will be available with all the features that also characterize the snom 200. Although the new snom 190 does not provide Power-Over-Ethernet, in comparison to the 200 model it does support the additional Codec G.723.1 and can therefore be combined with a larger amount of equipment of other manufacturers. In addition, even over low bandwidths the user is able to make calls with a quality that was previously only possible with broadband technology.

“For us it goes without saying that a customer who wants to spend less money on a VoIP telephone should still be offered a maximum amount of quality, comfort and functionality”, says snom founder and managing director Dr. Christian Stredicke. “The demands of the user on a VoIP appliance are ultimately compared to conventional telephones, and go some of the way to influencing how quickly the new technology will make a far-reaching entrance into the private arena”.

snom mit neuer SIP-basierter NAT-Lösung

Mit dem snom 4S NAT Filter hat die snom technology AG eine neue SIP-basierte NAT-Lösung entwickelt. Die Software-Netzwerkkomponente ermöglicht den Einsatz der SIP-Telefone vom privaten Netzwerk ohne Unterstützung durch den SIP User Agent.

Die Verwendung der Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) Technologie ermöglicht eine höhere Anzahl an Gesprächen, die sich direkt zwischen den Telefonen übertragen lassen, und das mit einem Maximum an Qualität. Die Lösung ist für RFC3261-kompatible Telefone einsetzbar, zu welchen neben den snom-Geräten 105/190/200/220 auch die anderer Hard- und Soft-Phone-Hersteller gehören.

Der NAT Filter wird vor einem RF3261-kompatiblen SIP Proxy installiert und läuft übers Internet. In Abhängigkeit von der Netzwerkbelastbarkeit lassen sich ein oder mehrere NAT-Filter einsetzen. Der Filter selbst enthält einen STUN Server, der von den Telefonen dazu genutzt werden kann, den am nächst gelegenen NAT Filter zu ermitteln. Das ist ein wesentlicher Fortschritt in der automatischen Konfiguration der User Agents für den am nächsten befindlichen Outbound Proxy. Nutzt man diese Technologie zusammen mit der ICE-Technologie, lässt sich die Verzögerung des Datentransportes minimieren, was auch durch die Installation von NAT Filtern an verschiedenen Standorten erreicht werden kann.

Der NAT-Filter unterstützt alle SIP-basierenden Applikationen wie Instant Messaging, Anzeige des Empfängerstatus oder Onlinespiele. Für Anrufe via SIP sind auch Audio- und Video-Sessions möglich. Gemäß der SIP-Philosophie des zustandslosen Proxies funktioniert der NAT-Filter mit allen künftigen Applikationen ohne Erweiterung der Software.

Zum NAT-Filter bietet snom die Ferninstallation und den Produkt-Support. Der Filter ist für UNIX (Linux, Solaris) und Windows XP erhältlich.

New SIP NAT solution available from snom

snom technology has announced the release of their SIP NAT solution, the snom 4S NAT Filter. This software network component enables SIP phones to make calls from private networks without support from the SIP user agent.

By using Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) technology, it maximizes the number of calls that can be routed directly between the phones, thus maximizing the quality. The solution works with RFC3261-compliant phones, including the snom 105/190/200/220 phones and other hard and soft phones.

The NAT Filter is placed in front of an RF3261-compliant SIP Proxy and operated on the public Internet. Operators can use one or many NAT filters, depending on the network load. It includes a STUN server which can be used by the phones to detect the nearest NAT Filter. This is an important step in user agents automatically set up for the nearest outbound proxy. Using this technology together with ICE, the overall delay of media transport can be minimized. Operators can place NAT filters in different locations to optimize the media delay.

The NAT Filter supports all SIP-compliant applications, including instant messaging, presence and online gaming. For SIP calls, it allows audio and video sessions. By following the SIP philosophy of a stateless proxy, it interacts with all future applications without the need for software upgrades.

snom unterstützt ENUM

Voice-over-IP: Die snom technology AG unterstützt beim
IP-Telefon snom 200 erstmalig ENUM auf der Anwenderseite

Die snom technology AG, Komplettlösungsanbieter im SIP-Bereich und Hersteller von IP-Telefonen, unterstützt künftig ENUM (Telephone Number Mapping), ein Standard, mit dem sich Ressourcen aus dem Telekommunikations- und dem IP-Netzwerkbereich verknüpfen lassen.

Mit ENUM werden unter Nutzung des Domain Name Systems (DNS) die verschiedensten Kommunikationsdienste über nur eine Rufnummer identifiziert und angesprochen. Das System sorgt automatisch dafür, dass die Endgeräte ausgewählt werden, die zur Ausgabe der Nachricht tauglich sind. Ein Fax beispielsweise landet auf einem Faxgerät, ein Anruf je nach Wunsch auf einem Festnetzgerät, Mobiltelefon oder einer Voicebox.

“ENUM ist ein Meilenstein in der SIP-Nutzung”, sagt Dr. Christian Stredicke, Gründer und Vorstand von snom. “Indem wir mit unserer Technik ENUM unterstützen, erreichen wir auch jene Anwender, die gar nicht wissen, wie die verschiedenen Telekommunikationsdienste ihr Ziel erreichen und ob das Endgerät ein traditionelles oder ein IP-Telefon ist“. Die ENUM-Technologie verknüpft die durch E-Mail und Internet bekannten einfach zu merkenden Domain-Kennungen mit den Telefonnummern, damit in allen Situationen so bequem wie möglich das Ziel des Anrufs bestimmbar ist.

Richard Shockey, Senior Manager “Strategische Technologie Initiative” des amerikanischen Internet Providers Neustar Inc. und Vize der ENUM Arbeitsgruppe der IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), die ENUM entwickelt hat, bemerkte: “Die snom technology AG bietet erstmals Telefone und Software an, die fehlerlos die ENUM Technologie integrieren, um Telefonnummern des E.164 Standards, der den internationalen Nummernplan für Telekommunikation beschreibt, in SIP URIs (Unified Ressource Identifier) zu übersetzen und damit SIP- basierte VoIP-Gespräche herzustellen. Diese Umwandlung im snom-Telefon hat keinen wahrnehmbaren Effekt auf die Anrufaufbauzeiten. Kurz gesagt, es funktioniert.“ so Shockey. “23 Länder beteiligen sich mittlerweile an ENUM-Tests und -Diskussionen, und Produkte wie die von SNOM bringen die ENUM Initiative ein großes Stück voran.“

Alexander Mayrhofer von der österreichischen Domain Registrierung nic.at und Pionier der europäischen ENUM-Aktivitäten sagt dazu: “Die Technik von snom ermöglicht durch die Nutzung anwenderspezifischer Nummernpläne zum ersten Mal die Übertragung von SIP-Anrufen über einfache Telefonnummern von der Kundenseite her. Vorteil dieser Methode im Unterschied zur serverseitigen ENUM-Übertragung ist die größere Transparenz für den Anwender: Das Telefon zeigt die aufgeschlüsselte Ziel-URL, bevor der Anruf gestartet wird.

Einige Länder wie Österreich, Schweden und Korea nutzen schon ENUM-Datenbanken für ihre nationale Telefonnummernstruktur. In Deutschland befindet sich ENUM noch in der Testphase.

snom stellt Calling Card System vor

Die snom technology AG stellt eins der ersten Calling Card Systeme für Internet Telephony Service Provider auf der CeBIT 2004 vor

Mit seinem snom 4S Calling Card System präsentiert das Berliner Unternehmen eine integrierte Systemlösung, die in Kombination mit einer ausgereiften SIP- und Mediensoftware weltweit Internet Telephony Service Providern und Telekommunikationsunternehmen ein überaus effizientes und zudem preisgünstiges Produkt bietet.

“Neben der Tatsache, dass es auf dem offenen VoIP Standard SIP basiert, bietet das System große Vorteile hinsichtlich günstiger Anschaffungs- und Wartungskosten, Skalierbarkeit, Redundanz und Unterstützung von Standard Authentifizierungs- und Billingmechanismen (OSP und Radius)“, so Vorstand und Unternehmensgründer Nicolas-Peter Pohland.

Das System ist skalierbar und hochredundant, da es nach Bedarf verschiedene IT Techniken unterstützt, wie zum Beispiel “Load-Balancing“ als auch vollautomatische Ausfallsicherung (“Clustering“). Es basiert auf internationalen Standards, lässt sich einfach installieren und bedienen.

Der Endnutzer benötigt lediglich ein Softphone auf seinem PC oder ein VoIP-Telefon, um weltweit zu telefonieren. Er identifiziert sich mit einer 12stelligen Kartennummer und einer PIN. Die Signalisierung der Gespräche erfolgt über das Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), einem von der Internet Engineering Task Force veröffentlichter Standard.

Das SNOM 4S Calling Card System besteht aus

  • dem SNOM 4S Proxy/Registrar
  • dem SNOM 4S Media Server und
  • einem datenbankzentrierten HTTP-Applikationsserver.

Webbasierte Oberfläche

Das System verfügt über eine webbasierte Benutzeroberfläche, die es dem Betreiber ermöglicht, das System nach seinen Bedürfnissen einzurichten. Es lassen sich damit Kundenkarten generieren, Wahlpläne konfigurieren, Tarifinformationen verwalten und die Verbindung wie auch das Routen zum PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) einstellen.

Der Media Server verwaltet, kodiert und dekodiert, sendet und empfängt alle Medienströme. Er bietet alle gängigen Audiocodecs zur freien Konfiguration und Kombination an. Um das Spezifizieren eigener Dienste und Produkte zu ermöglichen, unterstützt der Media Server unter anderem Mehrparteien-Konferenz, Anrufbeantworter (Voice Mail), sowie das Parken, die Weiterleitung und -schaltung von Anrufen.

Alle Systemkomponenten können mit ihrer Skriptsprache programmiert werden.

Das System unterstützt die Identifizierung, Authentifizierung, Autorisierung und Dokumentation. Es generiert Abrechnungsdaten in Form von Call Detail Records. Mit den vorhanden SIP-Erweiterungen lässt sich das gesamte SNOM 4S System auch problemlos in bestehende Abrechnungssysteme für mobile Funknetze wie GSM integrieren.

Erfolgreicher Einsatz in China

Das SNOM 4S System wird zur Zeit bei der China Telecom in Partnerschaft mit einem Institut der chinesischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Shenyang erfolgreich mit Tausenden von Usern betrieben.

“Voice-over-IP-Systeme werden aufgrund der geringen Gesprächsgebühren in den nächsten Jahren mehr und mehr die gängigen Systeme ablösen und zunehmend auch die Privathaushalte erobern“, schätzt Pohland unisono mit den aktuellen Marktforschungsstudien die künftige Rolle der Internet-Telefonie ein.

Calling Card System presentation

snom technology AG presents one of the first Calling Card Systems for Internet Telephony Service Providers at the CeBIT 2004 in Hanover, Germany

With its snom 4S Calling Card system, this Berlin-based company is presenting an integrated system solution, which in combination with a fully developed SIP and media software offers Internet Telephony Service Providers (ITSP) and telecommunication companies from all over the world a highly efficient solution at attractive prices.

“Besides the fact that it is based on the open VoIP standard SIP, the system offers great advantages with regard to cheaper purchase and maintenance costs, scalability, redundancy and support of standard authentication and billing mechanisms (OSP and Radius)”, according to Executive Director and founder Nicolas-Peter Pohland.

The system is scalable und highly redundant because it supports various IT techniques according to demand, for instance “Load-Balancing” as well as fully automatic clustering. Based on international standards, it is easy to install and handle.

End users only need a softphone on their PC or a VoIP-telephone in order to make calls worldwide. They are identified by their 12-figure calling card number and authenticated using the PIN provided with the card. The signaling of the calls is based on Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), an open standard ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

The SNOM 4S Calling Card system consists of

  • SNOM 4S Proxy/Registrar
  • SNOM 4S Media Server and
  • a database-centric HTTP-application backend.

Web-based user interface

The system disposes of a web-based user interface, which enables the carriers to configure the system to reflect their own requirements. They can generate calling cards, manage dial plans and tariff information, and can configure the interface to the switched telephone network in an intuitive and simple manner. The SNOM 4S roxy/Registrar handles signaling, call routing and session management.

The Mediaserver manages and streams the actual media data for the voice traffic. For advanced value-added services, the SNOM 4S Mediaserver has built-in support for multi-party conferencing, voicemail, call parking, call forwarding and call transfer. The systems are open for scripting.

The 4S Calling card system supports identification, authentication, authorization and accounting. Call Detail Records are generated based on standard formats. With the SIP upgrading, the complete SNOM 4S system can be easily integrated into existing accounting systems for mobile networks.

Successful use in China

The 4S Calling Card system is currently in use by China Telecom in Shenyang, where the first trial with thousands of users has been completed successfully. “In the next few years, voice-over-IP systems will increasingly replace current systems due to the low telephone costs and also conquer private homes”, Pohland states, concurring with relevant market research on the future role of Internet telephony.

ENUM support in snom 200 IP Phone

snom technology AG, the Berlin based German SIP Phone manufacturer, announces at the Internet Telephony show in Miami that it now supports ENUM, a new industry standard for mapping regular phone numbers to IP Phone addresses, in their latest snom 200 IP phone.

This new system will be key to meshing the conventional telephony platform with the new world of IP Telephony.

“ENUM is a milestone in the usability of SIP” says Dr. Stredicke, founder and executive of snom. Using ENUM, we can address people who don’t even know how the packets find their destination and if the destination is a traditional phone or a voice over IP-phone. It links the easy-to-remember Email-style addressing with the simple-to-enter PSTN numbering scheme so that in all situations it is as convenient as possible to locate the destination of a call.

Richard Shockey, NeuStar Sr. Manager Strategic Technology Initiatives and IETF ENUM WG co-chair remarked, “The SNOM phones are the first real telephones or VoIP software I’ve seen to flawlessly incorporate ENUM technology (RFC 2916) to translate E.164 telephone phone numbers into SIP URI’s and establish a SIP VoIP session. The ENUM resolver in the SNOM product has no demonstrable effect on call setup times that I’ve been able to detect. In short, it works! “. Mr.Shockey added, “With 23 nation states now in the process of ENUM trials and discussions, products like the SNOM will be a key to moving the global ENUM initiative forward.”

Alexander Mayrhofer of the nic.at Austrian governmental domain registrar and a pioneer for European ENUM “snom seems to be the first who has integrated ENUM lookup into a SIP hard phone that allows routing of SIP calls via common phone numbers from the client side using user specific dial plans. An advantage to this method in contrast to the server side ENUM routing is more transparency to the user: The phone displays the resolved destination URI before placing the call”

Several counties like Austria, Sweden and Korea already put their national numbering plan into ENUM databases. Other countries like Germany are currently trying out ENUM, it is expected that North America and other regions will soon follow (NANPA, http://www.nanpa.com). snom is participating in the German ENUM trial and can be reached both over PSTN and VoIP with the same number +49.30.39833.0.
