Cantata Technology Increases Worldwide Fax Market Share.

Continues Growth in European and Asian Markets

NEEDHAM, Mass. -- Cantata Technology, one of the world's leading independent providers of enabling communications technology, today announced that it continues its long-term leadership position in the worldwide fax board market, with a 70% worldwide market share, according to the latest Davidson Consulting research report, "Computer-Based Fax Markets, 2005-2010." In addition to its majority market share position in the US, Cantata also saw continued market share gains in 2005 in Europe and Asia. Cantata Technology was established in 2006 through the combination of Brooktrout Technology and Excel Switching Corporation.

"Once again, Cantata Technology is the absolute leader, increasing its market share lead in units in 2005 to 70.1% compared to 18.2% for the next closest competitor," said Peter Davidson, president of Davidson Consulting. "Since combining with Excel Switching in October of 2005, Cantata has already increased the distribution of its fax boards, particularly to service providers in Southeast Asia and China, as well as in Eastern Europe."

Cantata has the broadest range of intelligent fax technology on the market today ranging from small scale solutions with the Brooktrout[R] TruFax[R] product line to enterprise and carrier grade systems with the Brooktrout TR1034[TM] and SR140[TM] products. Combined, Brooktrout-brand fax products are approved for use in over 40 countries.

"Cantata's market-leading intelligent fax products provide us with the carrier-grade performance and reliability needed for our application," said Toshiyuki Suzuki, General Manager, Public System Division of Fujitsu Social Science Laboratory Limited (Fujitsu SSL) in Japan. "We look forward to working with Cantata in the future as the market for fax services continues to grow."

The Davidson Consulting report also found that the fax server market started to show some of the dynamics that are going to cause the market to grow by an estimated 8.2% CAGR, including increasing adoption of multi-function peripherals (MFPs) and fax over IP (FoIP) technology. Both Cantata's Brooktrout SR140 and TR1034 fax platforms support real-time FoIP, providing companies with the ability to integrate fax servers and fax-based document management solutions with their VoIP network, achieving the same high levels of performance, reliability and scalability that enterprises have come to expect over the past 20 years from Cantata while capturing the benefits of IP-based communications.
