I was asked to test an interesting new fax product that
should make an impact for fax on the smaller, SMB and even SOHO markets. AudioCodes
asked me to evaluate a new “flavor” of their Fax Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA)
product. The “new” is really the Fax ATA
and a new product bundle now that the device has abilities for 3rd-party
interconnectivity. I was to do the evaluation product under the auspices of
this new go-to-market strategy, but this was a few months ago and I have heard
nothing from them in a while. Nonetheless, I wanted to share my findings
anyway.
The AudioCodes ATA device is not new and has been selling
well on the market for over two years. You
plug a device into a fax machine or fax-enabled MFP and now the outbound fax
calls can be sent securely over the internet or local network. This is a
tremendous benefit to the, “Residential
and Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) VoIP market” according to
AudioCodes.
