Network Equipment Technologies and emFAST Complete Interoperability Testing for Delivering Fax to Microsoft Exchange 2010
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FREMONT, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/03/09 --
Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. ("NET")
(NASDAQ: NWK), a leader in network and VOIP solutions, and emFAST Inc., a
pioneer in network fax messaging, today announced a teaming agreement and
the successful completion of interoperability testing of NET's VX Series
running "One Number Fax" with emFAST's FACSys server. This combination
provides a comprehensive unified messaging solution, including fax
delivery, for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and Microsoft Exchange Server
2010 users.
NET's VX Series switches offer a "One Number Fax" solution to deliver the
true vision of a single, unified phone number with automated fax delivery.
The "One Number Fax" solution detects and separates voice and fax calls by
CNG (fax tone) detection and automatically routes the calls to the proper
destination without ever ringing the phone when faxes are delivered. Faxes
are delivered directly to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging,
Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging, or to the FACSys Fax
server to help organizations round out their unified messaging
implementations and save costs.
The combined solution of NET's VX Series and emFAST's FACSys server
enhances Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unified Messaging and Microsoft
Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging, giving users the ability to manage
not only their e-mail, voice mail, text and instant messaging, but also to
manage fax messages from a single mailbox.
The solution complements and extends Microsoft Exchange Server's messaging
capabilities with the following benefits:
-- Enables the sending and receiving of faxes from Microsoft Office
applications, helping boost employee productivity.
-- Reduces capital and operational expenses of procuring and managing fax
machines.
-- Increases security and ensures regulatory compliance by having an
audit trail of fax messages.
-- Integrates fax with various multi-function peripherals such as those
from HP, Xerox, Sharp, Ricoh, and Canon.
-- Integrates fax services with enterprise resource planning, customer
relationship management, and other line-of-business applications.
NET's VX Series is a fully integrated multi-service voice switch that
provides high-performance VoIP communications for enterprise Microsoft
Office Communications Server 2007 R2 deployments, interoperating with
leading PBX and IP-PBX vendor protocols while offering rapid deployment,
ease of installation, and low maintenance. The VX Series provides
additional value to Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2
enterprise voice customers by reducing the total number of servers that
need to be deployed in the network and reducing the operational and capital
costs of deployment.
The VX Series provides branch offices with several key features, including:
native DSP support for Microsoft RT-audio; support for meshed, high
availability Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 networks; end
to end Quality of Experience (QoE) monitoring; secure, line speed SRTP and
TLS encryption; and automatic codec selection for improved audio quality.
"We are very pleased to have a teaming agreement with NET," said Frank
Kaufman, President of emFAST. " As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we
worked closely with the Microsoft Exchange team to seamlessly integrate
FACSys and fax messaging into the Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging
framework. The solution we have jointly created with NET using the 'One
Number Fax' feature of the VX Series further enhances this functionality by
allowing a user to have a single phone number for both voice and fax."
"'One Number Fax' is a step forward for all of us who want to deliver a
single, unified phone number with automated fax delivery solution that will
really make an impact," said Matthew D. Krueger, NET's VP Business
Development. "With emFAST, we deliver a well-defined integration that
provides practical benefits to organizations using Microsoft Exchange
2007/2010, as well as prospects considering the value of a unified
communications implementation."
