Patton’s Office-in-a-Box VoIP Solution Will Debut at ABP’s IP Technology RoadShow4.10.2013 In a five-party collaboration with 3CX, Grandstream, Vitelity and ABP, Patton is unveiling an out-of-the-box, integrated solution for enterprise IP telephony that features a prototype of the new SmartNode Branch Exchange (SNBX). SmartNode…More than just talk!
At ABP’s annual travelling convention for IP technology resellers, Patton will unveil a brand-new SmartNode VoIP product: the SmartNode Branch Exchange (SNBX). Patton’s SNBX makes its market debut as part of a multi-vendor office-in-a-box IP-telephony solution for enterprises that integrates SmartNode VoIP Gateways, Grandstream IP phones, and Vitelity SIP trunks.
Launching under the catchphrase “One solution fits all,” the integrated enterprise VoIP system addresses just about any challenge a business is likely to face when making the move to converged communications. The solution supports up to 500 SIP extensions and up to 64 concurrent VoIP calls. “ABP Tech offers a one-stop-shop for complete solutions for any SMB's IP telephony setup," said Tyler Delin, Patton's Converged-IP Product Marketing Manager," by partnering with four best-of-breed vendors. We are excited to unveil our prototype of the new SNBX appliance. It makes installation and management quick and easy with Windows 7 and 3CX Phone System factory installed." The SmartNode Branch Exchange is a network appliance running 3CX’s windows-based IP-PBX software that streamlines overall system setup and deployment with built-in configurations for SmartNode VoIP Gateways. "Our SmartNode VoIP Gateways and Routers are essential in the total solution," Tyler adds, "interconnecting with legacy telephony elements while providing such key functions as QoS routing for optimum voice quality. And no one can beat our TCO proposition.” SmartNode solutions address such common challenges as IP-enabling an existing PBX, preserving PSTN access/breakout/fallback when launching a new IP phone system, and resolving interoperability issues when deploying SIP trunks, or setting up Microsoft Lync or IBM Sametime, or other unified communications software. Patton products come with free gold-standard customer support. Unique within the industry, Patton’s free-support proposition reduces total-cost-of-ownership (TCO), setting the company apart from other industry players. Most manufacturers require costly support contracts or per-hour charges. Patton provides free lifetime support—including downloadable software updates—at no additional cost. ABP's IP Technology Road Show will tour through the summer, making its final stop in La Paz Bolivia during September 1-2.
