Interstar’s XMediusFAX™ SP Edition FoIP software for VoIP networks enables service providers to extend flexible, secure and reliable internet faxing to customers

Montreal, Canada, October 18, 2005

Interstar Technologies (xmediusfax.sagemcom.com), a leading developer of IP telephony technologies, will be showcasing its XMediusFAX SP Edition multi-tenant T.38 Fax over IP (FoIP) server technology for service providers at next week’s Internet Telephony Conference & Expo, Booth 523, held October 24-27 in Los Angeles, California. Interstar, which leads the worldwide IP fax server market with nearly 75% market share (per fax-industry analyst firm Davidson Consulting), is the pioneer of real-time T.38 FoIP boardless solutions, dominating the IP fax server market for the 4th consecutive year.

Interstar’s carrier-class XMediusFAX SP IP fax server software is deployed by service providers and large enterprises. Carriers such as PingTone Communications, Mountain Telecommunications (MTI), and TriWest Healthcare Alliance deploy XMediusFAX SP multi-tenant T.38 FoIP software for its:

  • boardless FoIP capabilities and scalability up to 240 channels per server, versus other fax server solutions on the market, which are limited to 96 channels per server due to their reliance on fax boards
  • seamless integration with Cisco VoIP backbones without requiring fax boards
  • built-in clustering, fault detection, failover support and automatic data replication, which consistently ensure high availability

“XMediusFAX SP was launched almost 2 years ago, and it is still the only carrier-class fax server software on the market with infrastructure and features to fit the scalability and reliability requirements of service providers,” said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies Inc. “Interstar has rapidly and consistently generated considerable interest from the marketplace, as well as an increase in sales. Our happy customers are an attestation of XMediusFAX SP’s success in the service provider and large enterprise market spaces.”
