VoIP Gateways

Issuing its important news this week at CommunicAsia in Singapore, Patton revealed that its renowned VoIP media gateways are now certified for interoperability with Microsoft (News - Alert) Lync having been tested in Microsoft’s Unified Communications Open Interoperability Program for Lync Communications Server.

This certification will ensure that enterprise customers and system integrators are able to select and deploy SmartNode products with SmartNode VoIP equipment that will reliably and seamlessly function with Microsoft’s UC software.

Patton’s (News - Alert) SmartNode equipment delivers VoIP technology that enables carriers and enterprises to deploy VoIP systems quickly with cost-efficiency. The SmartNode gateway routers, as interoperable with Lync-based unified communications, will give organizations the ability to take advantage of a higher-level UC system without going through the bother of replacing existing PBX (News - Alert) systems.

Businesses are able to add telephony features to their communications systems including “voice-and-data survivability and least-cost call routing” with SmartNode, according to Patton. Ideal for small and medium-sized businesses, the SmartNode product line scales from 2 to 2,048 channels.
