Nexus IS, Interstar and Cisco Deliver Unified Messaging

BY JOHANNE TORRES


IP telephony technologies provider Interstar Technologies and Nexus IS announced today that the companies partnered to provide a unified messaging solution comprised of a combo of e-mail, voice and fax messaging for VoIP-based networks. The companies claim that the concept of fax-enabling a VoIP network without legacy fax boards, hardware or POTS lines, is a market-first. Interstar says its XMediusFAX is the first to accomplish the boardless approach in fax-enabling VoIP networks, while still being capable of catering to organizations with legacy fax board deployments.



The new agreement asks for Nexus IS to offer a solution comprised of Interstar's XMediusFAX T.38 Fax Over IP systems interoperating with Cisco's VoIP gateway and Cisco Unity, running Microsoft's Exchange e-mail messaging platform.

"We are excited to team with Interstar Technologies," says Deron Pearson, Nexus IS president and COO, "Voice over IP is now a proven solution for many companies. Those companies are experiencing the benefits of converging their voice and data networks. By partnering with Interstar and Cisco Systems, we can offer companies an added feature: the ability to send and receive faxes using Voice over IP technology, anytime, anywhere."

California-based Nexus IS, a company, is a Cisco and Microsoft Gold Certified partner. The company has earned specialization certifications in IP communications, wireless, VPN/security, and IPCC-enterprise call center technologies. Interstar has technology partnerships in a number of vendor programs, including the Cisco Technology Developer Partner program (formerly named AVVID).

XMediusFAX is a boardless T.38 Fax Over IP fax server system that integrates with IP telephony technologies from companies such as Cisco, 3Com/AudioCodes, and Alcatel."Our XMediusFAX technology integrates seamlessly with Cisco's IP telephony technologies and Microsoft's Exchange platform," says Martin Demers, President and CEO of Montreal-based Interstar Technologies. "Our entire XMediusFAX product suite has undergone rigorous interoperability testing with Cisco and Microsoft, and our happy customers are the perfect indicators of our success."
