Abp markets complete SIP Trunking solutions featuring SmartNode that are simple and quickly-deployed for enterprises with legacy and/or IP PBXs. “It’s a compelling concept,” said Sean Gerrity, Patton’s regional director for North America and Japan. “As strategic partners, abpTECH and Patton provide the community a pre-configured system comprising Broadvox (News - Alert) SIP trunks and SmartNode VoIP gateways. It’s all fully-tested and offers proven interoperability. We call it ‘VoIP Ready.’”

In comments pertaining to the effectiveness of SmartNode, Blogger Matt Landis recently wrote, “I am a longtime fan of Patton gateways because [they] just seem to work. . . it's not only me. . . the whole Windows PBX community prefers Patton PSTN gateways over the alternatives according to my Feb 2010 survey.”
