Snom, the company based in Germany and the provider of one of my earliest VoIP gateway experiences(I think six years ago!), has always been working with Digium, the developer of Asterisk. They have recently renewed their business bonds so that they can continue to provide interoperability to their respective customers.
The Phones from Snom which adhere to IETF’s latest recommendations for standards-based authentication and content security (SIP(s)/sRTP). The range of phones offered will fit in nicely in an enterprise’ executive table as well as on a kitchen table.
Following is the press release from Snom.
snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, and Digium® Inc., the Asterisk® company, today announced their renewed partnership agreement to offer integrated, SIP-based telephony solutions for small and medium-sized businesses. snom has signed on as a Digium/Asterisk Premier Interoperability Partner, which will give broad support for Asterisk Business Edition telephony features on snom phones. SMB customers will receive a tightly integrated, standards-based solution with simplified provisioning, and the delivery of new capabilities and features.
“By partnering with innovative companies like snom we can offer the business community more options and features when building high-end telephony systems based on Asterisk,” said Bill Miller, VP of Marketing and Product Management. “The interoperability between Asterisk Business Edition and snom IP phones ensures flexibility and broad support for Asterisk. We look forward to furthering our reach in the marketplace through this partnership.”
snom’s highly configurable and interoperable IP desktop phones and the new snom m3 IP DECT phone will be combined with Digium’s Asterisk Business Edition, the professional-grade version of Asterisk. Through a combination of the snom and Digium offerings, SMB customers will have access to advanced telephony solutions which are more affordable compared to proprietary systems. Additionally, these new offerings will give customers the control, rapid feature development and deployment, and rich feature base that the Asterisk community and its partners provide.
