snom technology, which develops and manufactures advanced IP phone systems for enterprise and residential markets, announced its full suite of IP desktop phones has passed a battery of interoperability tests with Zultys’ IP-PBX (News - Alert) and unified communications product suite.

The interoperability tests were conducted on snom 3xx and snom 8xx desktop phones, as well as the snom m3 wireless DECT (News - Alert) phone. They were found to be fully operable with Zultys' MX250 and MX30 IP-PBX platforms, company officials said.

The product suites of both the companies are built on global Session Initiation Protocol (News - Alert) or “SIP” Open Standard.

The interoperability of these products gives customers with a broader range of options when choosing an IP telephony system that enables a suite of business- and productivity-enhancing applications, from simple voice services to integrated unified communications systems, according to company officials.

"Like snom, Zultys (News - Alert) has built its product suite on the promise of interoperability in SIP environments," Michael Knieling, executive vice president of Marketing and Sales for snom technology, said. "This premise has seen the company gain a strong following on an international level, particularly in North America and Europe. We think Zultys provides our customers and resellers a great IP-PBX option."

The MX250 and MX30 IP-PBX platforms from Zultys provide end users with a leading SIP open standard IP-PBX system that is highly efficient and offers an array of traditional and advanced features and applications from a single highly integrated appliance.

The specialty of Zultys' design is that it packs many features into a single server, eliminating the need for additional external servers to support fax, call recording, visual voice mail, ICC, ACD, and other critical services that come standard on all Zultys IP-PBX products, according to company officials.Steve Francis, chief sales and marketing officer at Zultys, commented that snom phones are a great complement to their IP-PBX platforms and mesh well with their philosophy of enabling their customers to tailor their Unified Communications (News - Alert) system to their own unique needs by leveraging the global SIP ecosystem.

“While Zultys provides a complete solution, interoperability with snom gives users more choice in how they deploy their end-to-end telephony system,” Francis added.

Recently snom technology announced the new Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications or "DECT" VoIP phone, the snom m9, TMCnet reported.
