- 02.04.10 - Endstream SIP Trunking Services Certified as Interoperable with Xorcom IP-PBX more...
Misgav, Israel and New York, NY. February 4, 2010 - Xorcom, a privately-held manufacturer of business telephony interfaces and appliances based on Asterisk open source software, and Endstream Communications, Inc., a next-generation carrier focusing on VoIP
and telecommunications solutions for the wholesale, enterprise and middle markets. The bundled offering delivers significant cost savings over traditional telecommunication services for calling within the United States and worldwide while leveraging
the flexibility and reliability of Xorcom's IP-PBX line.
Xorcom's all-in-one appliances allow seamless communication using both VoIP and traditional telephony protocols, such as FXS, FXO, BRI, T1/E1 PRI, T1 CAS and E1 R2. Members of the series differ in the number of supported users, starting from the basic XR1000, which is suitable for SOHO, up to the robust XR3000, which supports up to eight PRI connections along with hundreds of analog and IP extensions. The award-winning TwinStar feature enables dual-server redundancy for the complete PBX, including all telephony trunks and interfaces, as well as IP phones.
Endstream Communications offers reliable, efficient, and cost-effective phone and internet solutions to large and medium-sized businesses. These solutions include SIP trunking, a direct IP connection between the customer's PBX and Endstream's premium SoftSwitch cluster. By allowing customers to tap into unused bandwidth on their existing Internet connection, customers will save costs by converging their local, long-distance and broadband internet services onto a single circuit. In addition, Endstream provides local numbers for remote locations.
In addition, organizations with multiple locations, or who want flexibility in growth, can receive unlimited local and inbound calls for a low monthly rate. Long-distance and international per minute charges are much lower than traditional PRI or POTS service.
Furthermore, medium to large organizations can utilize a high-capacity digital PRI connection supporting up to 23 simultaneous calls via one of Endstream's wholesale carriers. Small to medium-size organizations will appreciate Endstream's "Virtual POTS" service, which supports a traditional analog phone connection.
"Performing interoperability with leading SIP Trunking providers such as Endstream is testimony to the fact that Xorcom is fully committed to bringing the most flexible, efficient and cost-effective solutions to market. Xorcom's focus is to take the guesswork out of connecting Asterisk solutions to SIP Trunking services. After all, making a phone call is supposed to be easy," said Bill Soto, US and Canada Sales Manager, Xorcom. "We are very pleased with our interoperability with Endstream and are looking forward to many successful implementations."
"We are thrilled to be a part of Xorcom's growing base of high quality carriers," said Erik Levitt, CEO of Endstream. "Endstream continually strives to provide the most efficient and cost-effective services possible, and partnering with a company such as Xorcom that offers superior appliances with reliable features is a valuable asset.
Both Endstream SIP Trunking and the Xorcom IP-PBX products are scalable and flexible, enabling customers to grow and enhance their system functionality as needed. The bundled solution is currently available both via the Endstream and Xorcom reseller channels.
