Meanwhile, Grandstream’s HandyTone ATAs are lightweight and compact and work with any phone or fax. Ideal for residential use, they support a broad range of codecs including T.38 fax and offer integrated router, programmable FXO port, or dual network ports options. They come in a choice of 1 or 2 FXS or FXO port combinations based on SIP standard.

David Li, CEO of Grandstream Networks, said in a press release that “the combination of Sylantro’s Synergy platform and Grandstream SIP products creates an attractive opportunity for service providers and system integrators to deploy high quality and cost-competitive voice-over-IP and video-over-IP solutions to a broad market.”
