Innovative Fax Server Uses VoIP to Save 40% on Telecom
Montreal, QC, July 7, 2003
Interstar Technologies Inc., the pre-eminent developer of enterprise fax solutions for converged Internet Protocol (IP) networks, today announced the availability of XMediusFAX™.
XMediusFAX™ is a fax server that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to fax-enable an entire communications network. Simply speaking, XMediusFAX™ allows faxes to be delivered directly to any personal computer (PC) without requiring costly, dedicated fax hardware and leased lines.
XMediusFAX™ provides a major boost to productivity. Traditional faxing is slow, insecure and often unreliable. With XMediusFAX™, faxes, e-mail and other data simply share a common PC 'inbox'. Users get access to multiple forms of communication without leaving their desks. Furthermore, with direct-to-desktop delivery, information security is increased and recurring costs (electricity, paper and toner, etc.) are greatly reduced.
XMediusFAX™ uses VoIP networks to send long-distance faxes and avoids the public-switched telephone network (PSTN) where charges are based on geography. Instead, faxes are routed to the VoIP endpoint closest to the destination, essentially free-of-charge.
Because faxes are the only widely accepted equivalent to an actual signature, fax is a critical communications medium for banking and financial services, governments, law, health and insurance. In these and many other sectors, the opportunity to substantially increase productivity while reducing costs is a very compelling proposition. XMediusFAX™ is the most efficient fax server on the market today.
"XMediusFAX™ is revolutionizing enterprise fax communications," said Michael DiPerno, Vice President, Worldwide Sales, Interstar Technologies. "Interstar is offering a unique value proposition to a very competitive market. Our research indicates that the savings attributed to the implementation of XMediusFAX™ can equal up to 40% of an organization's total annual telecom costs. We look forward to several key client and partnership announcements in the weeks and months ahead," Mr. DiPerno added.
