Kendrick spoke with VUC hosts Michael Graves and Karl Fife about recent technology trends and new Grandstream products, including their GXV3175 IP Multimedia Phone (News - Alert), which was recently sent to VUC for testing.

This past month TMC’s Juliana Kenny reported that SIP Print and Grandstream “officially revealed a partnership to mutually certify and endorse each other’s products,” including IP multimedia phones.

Offering affordable SIP-based call recording and monitoring services, SIP Print (News - Alert) is a provider in the VoIP call recording industry, and will join with Grandstream to supply its customers with call recording tools.

Officials of Grandstream, which makes IP voice/video telephony and video surveillance products, say the company will benefit from partnering with SIP Print by gaining access to its top-of-the-line call recording offerings that are “a natural product line extension for Grandstream customers.”

According to Kenny, Don Palmer, CEO and president of SIP Print, stated “Grandstream Networks (News - Alert) is a natural fit for SIP Print, a highly respected developer of SIP Telephony systems delivering an impressive value proposition to its ever-increasing roster of partners, distributors and customers.”
