3CX has announced the signing of a strategic partnership with beroNET, under which beroNET gateways will now be completely interoperable with the 3CX Phone (News - Alert) System. Following the announcement, the companies will begin testing all firmware on the 3CX Phone System, which will ensure full interoperability with advanced integration technologies.
The 3CX Phone System is an open-standard unified communications platform designed for Windows. The system works with all standard SIP phones and is designed to replace proprietary PBX (News - Alert) systems
Integrating beroNET gateways with the 3CX Phone System will allow users to virtualize their VoIP service with VMware or Hyper-V. The phone system will remain operational even if a hardware failure is encountered, while processing usage is reduced.
In a release, Nick Galea, chief executive officer at 3CX, said “beroNET is a highly regarded European gateway manufacturer and this cooperation allows us to offer our customers a front-line, best of breed PBX solution. This partnership provides an unwavering guarantee to all our customers and partners that 3CX Phone System is fully supported by both companies, and thus provides them with peace of mind.”
As per the terms of the newly signed agreement, beroNET gateways will be configured into 3CX Phone System prior to the systems being released for deployment. Any potential interoperability issues will be identified during the firmware test and resolved before deploying the systems. This will simplify things for resellers, as they will not have to worry any further about interoperability issues. Customers, of course, also stand to gain through this agreement, as there will be no related concerns about performance.
Speaking of the partnership with 3CX, Christian Richter, chief executive officer at beroNET, said “3CX is the world’s most innovative Windows based PBX system and it’s our aim to provide our partners and customers with quality gateways to accompany this renowned UC solution. Together, beroNet and 3CX will ensure that our gateways are fully tested with 3CX Phone System before their release, thus ensuring the entire beroNet line of gateways fit in seamlessly with 3CX.”
