Quintum Technologies, an innovator in VoIP technologies and a
subsidiary of Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: NWK),
announced today that, under an agreement with Microsoft, it has
developed a VoIP T1/E1/PRI gateway and an FXS gateway for digital
phone systems that use Microsoft's Response Point phone system
software.
Response Point offers small and medium businesses the ability to
deploy VoIP throughout their networks with IP PBX telephony
advantages usually enjoyed only by larger enterprises. These
features include SIP trunking, click-to-call functionality for
contacts using the Assistant software, Call Detail Records (CDR),
and the ability to select music for parked calls and hold time. The
Response Point systems feature innovative voice recognition that
responds to voice commands. This feature allows employees to call
people within the company without dialing, verbally access contacts
from Outlook and voicemail, as well as transfer calls. Outside
callers can simply state with whom they would like to speak.
Quintum will release two Response Point Gateways that are
compatible with all of the IP telephone systems based on Response
Point. The digital gateway will support a T1, E1 or PRI connection,
and the analog gateway will support up to 4 FXS ports. These
gateways have been specifically designed to work with any Response
Point based IP telephony system. The Quintum Response Point
gateways allow you to set up your system in a matter of minutes.
When installing the analog gateway, the Response Point application
configures the gateway for you. When installing a T1 or E1 Gateway,
the Response Point customized configuration wizard will step you
through the process for simple set up.
"Small businesses want PBX functionality without the PBX
complication and cost," said Xuedong Huang, general manager of
Microsoft Response Point. "Quintum's Response Point Gateways will
allow businesses to easily deploy the Response Point system via a
T1, E1 or PRI connection."
"Quintum recognizes that all sizes of companies need to support
and maximize the investment in their existing organization
infrastructure, particularly in this economy," said Chuck Rutledge,
Vice President of Marketing for NET/Quintum. "We are very excited
about working closely with Microsoft to meet the needs of Response
Point customers."
"Quintum's gateways are a perfect complement to D-Link's
VoiceCenter IP Phone System," said Brian Nickell, Product Manager
of D-Link. "Response Point customers will be pleasantly surprised
at the ease with which they can be installed and how quickly their
new phone systems will be up and running."
Syspine's Digital Operator Phone System is an all-in-one
communications solution which, when coupled with Quintum's latest
technology, will give businesses even more flexibility in
connecting voice to the network. "We think Quintum is right on the
mark. On top of the analog and SIP trunk capability we currently
offer with the Syspine solution, the custom-designed Quintum VoIP
T1/E1/PRI gateway adds digital trunk capability any small or medium
business could deploy," said Syspine's Director, Robert Gordon.
Quintum has created a microsite in which all new Response Point
information can be found. The microsite can be found at:
