Announcing SIP Survivable Voice and Fax over IP MultiVOIP Gateways
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Fall VON '05, Boston Convention
Center, Booth #736 -- For a company implementing IP telephony, a network
failure can cut off branch offices and cause major headaches. Solutions like
installing IP PBXs in each office would solve the problem, but their expense
can defeat the cost-cutting purposes of implementing IP telephony. What is
needed is a cost-effective way to provide headquarters IP PBX capabilities to
remote offices via a Wide Area Network (WAN) with built-in survivability if
the WAN fails. Multi-Tech(R) Systems, Inc., a leading data communications and
telecommunications company based in suburban Minneapolis, is announcing a
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Voice over IP (VoIP) server that does just
that.

The patent-pending MultiVOIP(TM) SS SIP survivability server provides the
basic features of a centralized IP telephony system to remote locations during
IP network (i.e. WAN) failures, and also provides gateway functionality by
bridging the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to the IP network by
connecting one or more analog trunks. The MultiVOIP SS will also connect to
analog phone and fax machines.
"As enterprises invest in IP enabled PBXs, they face the dilemma of what
to do for cost-effective survivability and local access at remote offices,"
states Chip Harleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech
Systems, Inc. "When a remote office loses communications with its main IP
telephony server, it needs basic IP telephony functionality. With this Multi-
Tech solution, once it is determined that communications with the main server
is not available, remote office IP phones can register with the MultiVOIP
server, be it local or remote via a different IP network, and have some level
of operability. Our new patent-pending MultiVOIP SS survivability server has
the features needed to provide basic IP telephony to smaller offices during a
WAN failure, and to bridge the PSTN to the IP network by connecting up to
eight analog trunks. It is a cost-effective way for enterprises to empower
small offices with IP telephony, and still allow them to conduct business
without a functioning connection to a centralized IP telephony server."
The new patent-pending MultiVOIP SS SIP-survivable voice and Fax over IP
(VoIP) survivability servers are shipping immediately and are available in
two-, four- and eight-port models. The MVP210-SS two-port model sells for an
MSRP of US$999, the four-port MVP410-SS for US$1599 and the eight-port MVP810-
SS for US$2599.
