snom technology AG, a Berlin and Beverly, Mass.-based IP phones manufacturer targeting enterprise and residential markets, announced that its full suite of IP desktop phones have passed a number of interoperability tests with 4PSA’s cloud-based unified communications solution VoipNow.

The tests included the snom 3xx and snom 8xx desktop phones, as well as the snom m3 wireless DECT (News - Alert) phone, and support snom’s growing position as the go-to developer of intelligent IP endpoints for unified communications systems of all kinds.

The combination of snom’s open SIP architecture and 4PSA’s innovative cloud computing communications software offers customers a low-cost, highly functional enterprise telephony system that is easily deployed and highly scalable to hundreds or thousands of endpoints, if necessary. Additionally, as unified communications systems have proliferated, the advanced technology and open standards in snom products are an  ideal combination for providing enterprises with cost-effective and feature-rich IP telephony, according to the company.

“All of snom’s products are built on the premise of interoperability in any SIP environment, be it hardware or software, on-premises or hosted and even in the cloud,” said Dr. Michael Knieling, executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom technology AG (News - Alert). “With 4PSA leading the way in cloud-based unified communications environments, we think the two product suites complement each other very nicely.”

snom’s suite of VoIP phones includes advanced IP phones such as the snom 3xx series, full-color touchscreen desktop phones such as the snom 870, wireless DECT phones such as the m3 and related endpoints, such as the PA1 paging system and the MeetingPoint conference phone. All built with open SIP firmware allowing for simple installation, industry-wide interoperability and crystal-clear sound quality.

4PSA’s VoipNow platform takes a cloud computing approach to telephony, bringing unified communications to the masses, according to company officials For business customers, VoipNow provides calling, messaging, presence, faxing, conferencing and and other advanced IP telephony features in a cloud-based environment, making such functionality available to small businesses and large enterprises alike.

“We have supported snom telephones for some time and were well-aware of our respective products compatibility before the certification process,” said Mike Ross (News - Alert), President for 4PSA.”We wanted to make the certification official because we think it is important to assure our present and future customers that snom products will deliver to the demands that businesses expect and allow them to take full advantage of the feature-rich VoipNow platform.”
