babyTEL, a provider of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions, announced the completion of interoperability testing between OpenText RightFax 10 and babyTEL’s open Internet Enterprise Fax over IP (FoIP) SIP Trunking service.

The successful completion of interoperability testing with Open Text enables both companies to provide fax transmission over the Internet on SIP trunks by supplying enterprises and hosted service providers with support for the T.38 Enterprise Fax over IP protocol.

By moving to Enterprise Fax over IP technology, enterprise fax server customers are leveraging investments in converged voice and data networks as SIP/T.38 trunking can be adopted in lieu of legacy PSTN.

The interoperability allows enterprise to extend the efficiency of Enterprise Fax over IP technology beyond the enterprise border to the user end points, company officials stated.

“The interest and demand for SIP-based communication services within the enterprise market continues to grow and with it comes the need to support reliable fax communications,” said Matthew Brine, vice president, Fax and Document Distribution, OpenText, in a statement.

“At OpenText, we are committed to supporting this need through proven interoperability with industry-leading SIP trunking services, and we are particularly pleased to add babyTEL to our tested Enterprise Fax over IP interoperability list,” Brine added.

Users gain significant savings in lower call rates with this scalable solution as babyTEL’s Enterprise Fax over IP optimized network, with end-to-end T.38 support, allows customers to deliver faxes over the open Internet.

“We are very excited to have our FoIP-optimized network certified for interoperability with OpenText’s RightFax 10,” said Stephen Dorsey, CEO, babyTEL.

“This collaboration between our companies marks an important chapter in FoIP, as it allows RightFax users to connect to our FoIP network using the readily available open Internet,” Dorsey added. “By bundling babyTEL’s T.38 Trunking, OpenText RightFax 10 is ready to operate with minimal configuration, once connected to the Internet.”

In December last year, Dialogic, a provider of communications technologies powering advanced networks, and babyTEL announced the completion of interoperability testing between Dialogic Brooktrout (News - Alert) SR140 Fax Software and babyTEL's Enterprise Fax over IP SIP Trunking service.
