Sangoma Launches NetBorder Express Gateway on Linux

Sangoma(R) Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading supplier of hardware and software enabling server-based voice and data communication applications, today announced at the Internet Telephony Conference & Expo West 2009 event the general availability under the Linux operating system of its award-winning NetBorder Express Gateway product line. The product was previously only available under the Windows operating system.

NetBorder Express Gateway offers a wide range of densities and configurations, ranging from 2-port analog, all the way to 960 ports of digital telephony on a single system, to any SIP-based application. PBX, IVR and Contact Center application vendors and system integrators all over the world deliver powerful communication solutions by combining Sangoma's NetBorder Express Gateway with their software-based SIP applications into general purpose computing servers.

Sangoma partner, pbxnsip, has already designed and launched a set of PBX appliances based on the NetBorder Express Gateway on the Linux operating system. Kevin Moroz, COO at pbxnsip explains: "Releasing an affordable, simple-to-use, all-in-one PBX appliance that includes our SIP-based PBX software has been a long-time priority for our organization, because that's what our customers demand. NetBorder Express Gateway, with its compact form factor, wide support of telephony protocols and attractive price points was the obvious choice for our product line."

Sangoma optimizes its entire product line specifically to make software-based communication applications run more efficiently and more cost effectively. Sangoma's telephony interface products are used in a wide variety of open source telephony projects such as Asterisk(R), FreeSwitch(TM), CallWeaver(TM), Yate(TM) and others, as well as a high number of proprietary SIP-based applications, covering all ranges of communication systems from enhanced services in carriers to small-business phone systems, automated speech applications and massive outbound call center operations.

"Among all cost-effective PCI telephony interface card vendors, Sangoma certainly has the broadest product coverage in terms of applications and platforms," said Frederic Dickey, director of product management at Sangoma. "With this release of NetBorder Express on Linux, Sangoma further extends its leadership in providing a choice of interface and operating systems to telephony application developers worldwide".
