Now Shipping the 24-Port MultiVOIP FX Voice over IP Gateway

Dateline: Sep 12, 2006

The new MultiVOIP Voice over IP gateway (Model MVPFXS-24) provides telephone and fax connectivity to the Internet or an intranet for up to 24 FXS (Foreign Exchange Station) devices. These devices can include analog phones, fax machines and key telephone system equipment. The MultiVOIP FX gateway is designed to connect devices, within a relatively small area such as a sales office, support office, or call center to an IP network. Calls can then be sent through the MultiVOIP gateway over the IP network to other VoIP equipped locations or possibly to a central control center for PSTN routing.

"We find that organizations ready to make the step towards using Voice over IP in connecting remote workers are faced with some potentially expensive choices, such as throwing out their existing analog phones and fax machines," states Chip Harleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech Systems. "With the MultiVOIP gateway, existing phones and fax machines can keep on providing their services, while the company's IP network or the Internet provides savings associated with the new technology."
