About XMediusFAX(R) and VoIP networks

About a decade ago, VoIP was introduced as a technology that would enable businesses to reap significant cost savings, while offering more features and capabilities, such as improved mobility. While VoIP has already accomplished that to a large degree, faxing in today's VoIP-enabled organizations still remains a legacy technology requiring POTS phone lines and extra hardware.

Interstar's XMediusFAX is the world's first boardless T.38 Fax Over IP solution. The technology connects directly to VoIP gateways, thereby eliminating the need for fax boards, phone lines, and specialized equipment. XMediusFAX integrates seamlessly with the leading IP telephony technologies of 3Com/AudioCodes, Cisco, and Alcatel, among others.

XMediusFAX is an essential component of unified messaging. Faxes can now share a common inbox, along with email and voicemail. Users can send and receive faxes directly from Microsoft Outlook, an SMTP email client, desktop application, or any T.37-compliant multifunction device (MFD). XMediusFAX, runs on Windows 2000 and 2003, and is available in Enterprise, Express and Service Provider (EE, X and SP) editions.

The award-winning XMediusFAX truly completes and delivers on the VoIP promise of improved features/functionality and increased productivity and ROI.
