TelePacific Communications Offers SIP Network Connection Directly to Customers' IP PBX in Partnership With Allworx(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, CA, July 1 / MARKET WIRE/ -- TelePacific Communications, a leading provider of business telecommunications solutions with headquarters in California, announced today an extension to its SIP based product line, SmartVoice. TelePacific has been offering customers SIP based trunking services since February 2007. The product extension to the SmartVoice services will offer a direct SIP network connection directly to the customer's IP PBX. Current SmartVoice SIP trunk services provide traditional PRI and CAS network connections. With the new SIP handoff, customers will be able to plug the circuit directly into their SIP-enabled PBX, thus avoiding the need for additional capital expenditures. "SIP is quickly becoming the most popular protocol for managing IP telephony calls, and TelePacific is proud to make this service accessible to small and medium-sized businesses," said Dick Jalkut, TelePacific's president and CEO. "Many experts anticipate SIP to become the new standard protocol for VoIP traffic, and by making it simpler and more affordable to implement, TelePacific is helping small and medium-sized businesses become more competitive." TelePacific installed their first SIP Network Connection service in partnership with Allworx, the small business phone and network solutions company. Allworx' award winning portfolio of SMB products, for companies up to 100 users per site, includes the award-winning 24x, 10x, and 6x VoIP communications systems, as well their award-winning 9100 and 9200 IP phone series with traditional key or PBX system functionality and a series of software options -- Call Assistant, Call Queuing, Conference Center, VPN, etc.). Allworx systems can also function as Email and web servers, SPI firewall and router. "SIP, a robust IP telephony call control protocol, requires that service providers with SIP based services develop interoperability practices specific to each type of IP PBX model," said David Zahn, TelePacific's vice president of marketing. "TelePacific performs extensive interoperability testing in the lab and in the field before certifying a specific IP PBX model. The Allworx team was very responsive and easy to work with through the certification process." Additional manufacturer models are queued for field deployment third quarter 2008.
