Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading provider of
hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications
Systems for both voice and data, announced that it has entered into a
distribution agreement with the United Kingdom (UK) Division of Ingram Micro, a
global leader in delivering leading edge telecommunications solutions. Under the
agreement, the Ingram Micro line card in the UK and Europe will include
Sangoma's NetBorder Lync(TM) Express, an all-in-one Lync deployment appliance,
the NetBorder VoIP media gateway series, providing TDM-to-IP interconnection,
and the newly minted NetBorder SBC series of Session Border Controllers (SBC)
from Sangoma, for SIP trunking and IP-to-IP interworking support.
"Ingram Micro is highly respected around the globe, and a perfect partner for
Sangoma as we look to continue our growth and increase our leadership in the
Lync market," said Bill Wignall, chief executive officer and president of
Sangoma. "We expect that our relationship with Ingram Micro will help us further
expand our market share in the growing Lync ecosystem space. Our Lync Express
offering is attracting a lot of attention, and it's just one of the exciting new
products from Sangoma as we continue to broaden our portfolio in the service
provider and enterprise segments."
To address the growing interest in Lync, and the concern by some customers that
Lync can be complex to deploy, Ingram Micro has developed a bundle created
around Lync Express to facilitate deployments of up to 500 Lync seats. The
bundle includes an onboarding tool for new resellers wishing to learn about
deploying Lync, as well as training and professional services options.
NetBorder Lync Express from Sangoma is an integrated appliance that provides all
the core capabilities needed in any Lync deployment. The solution contains many
hardware and software components including Microsoft(R) Windows server,
Microsoft Lync server, Sangoma's Session Border Controller, and Sangoma's
NetBorder Express VoIP gateway, all pre-installed by Sangoma in an easy-to-use
appliance. The rack-mountable unit is available in a variety of configurations
to support PSTN connections, including E1/T1/J1 compliant digital telephony
spans, ISDN Basic Rate connections, and FXS line connections for any legacy
emergency phone or fax requirements.
"The addition of Sangoma to our vendor lineup, combined with the compelling
proposition we are developing through our partnerships with other market-leading
manufacturers, lends significant weight to our value proposition in the Unified
Communications space," commented Jon Bunyard, director of the Advanced Solutions
UK Division at Ingram Micro. "We consider UC a growing market and will be
showcasing our existing vendor ecosystem at the upcoming Convergence Summit
North in Manchester, where we look forward to talking with resellers about the
opportunities these partnerships represent in the voice space."
