Interview with Serge Forest – VP Marketing for Sangoma

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – September 27, 2008) – Sangoma® Technologies Corporation (TSXV: STC), the premium provider of software-centric media and signal processing hardware, today announced its newest product line, NetBorder Express VoIP Gateway Cards.

Sangoma’s award-winning telephony cards together with this new set of software building blocks deliver a robust SIP to TDM VoIP Gateway solution. Integrators and developers can use NetBorder Express on their communications platforms for SIP-based applications such as iPBX, IVRs, and Conferencing Servers.

The NetBorder Express solution is unique as the gateway card can reside in the same server as the developer’s application. Also, the installer, configuration, and management interfaces can easily be integrated to deliver a single, tightly-coupled solution, as opposed to two or more solutions “glued” together.

“When developers need to incorporate VoIP gateway functionality on their next generation platforms, they are faced with two choices: to buy an off-the-shelf gateway, which works well but will not provide a tight level of application integration, or to develop their own, which will be very costly in R&D and remove focus from application development,” said Frederic Dickey, Director of Product Management for the NetBorder product line. “Sangoma’s NetBorder Express Gateway Cards provide customers the best of both worlds — a ready to use gateway, which also easily integrates with the customers? applications.”

“We didn?t need to go to any other vendors for sales, support, or integration,” said Michael Fried, owner of Friedom-Tech. “We used pbxnsip together with a Sangoma NetBorder Express Gateway Card, and I was extremely impressed with the level of functionality and support at a very attractive price point for our customers.”

NetBorder Express Gateway Cards include Telco-grade, hardware echo cancellation. Customers can purchase up to eight spans on a single board and can put multiple boards in a server.

NetBorder Express 1.6 is available now for Windows with T1/E1 interfaces. Analog and BRI interfaces are planned, as is a Linux version of the software.

If you already own a Sangoma T1/E1 card with hardware echo cancellation, you can download a trial version of the software from the Sangoma web site at: www.sangoma.com/nbe_trial/.

TORONTO – April 26, 2007 — Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSXV: STC) (http://www.sangoma.com/ ), a leading provider of connectivity hardware and software products for Asterisk® based solutions including VoIP, TDM voice, WANs and Internet infrastructure, is now bundling a free six-port license for Octasic’s SoftEcho solution with Sangoma’s standard A200 and A400 analog cards.

The combination of Sangoma cards and SoftEcho provides carrier-class voice quality for six analog ports without overloading any modern PC. Easy to install, SoftEcho provides peace of mind by addressing all potential echo issues.
“Although we have provided hardware echo cancellation for analog systems of all sizes for some time, the cost was rather expensive and often out of reach for those deploying smaller systems,” says Sangoma Technologies president and CEO David Mandelstam. “Our agreement with Octasic allows us to deliver a robust solution providing the industry’s best voice quality on systems of up to six ports at no additional cost. Above six ports the balance of cost and system load begins to favor our traditional hardware echo cancellation solutions.”

“Sangoma delivers high quality products to the Asterisk market,” says Fabio Gambacorta, Octasic’s vice president of sales and marketing. “Our hardware echo cancellation solutions have enhanced the voice quality on their cards for the high-density market. We are delighted to collaborate to meet the needs of enterprises with low-density applications, by offering our software solution pre-integrated on Sangoma’s cards.”

Sangoma continues to bring innovation, scalability and higher density solutions to market at the request of its enterprise and telco customers. Click to see Sangoma’s current solution set: http://www.sangoma.com/main/products/hardware/cards
