Albany,
New York USA –08/01/2013. Despite the endemic “cloud-fever” of today, the IP telephony revolution that began last decade continues to grow briskly as more and more businesses are looking to upgrade their telephone systems to the advantages of voice over IP (VoIP). Given all the cloud hoopla, there doesn't appear to be any slowdown in investments in new IP-based exchanges (PBXs) or outsourcing voice services with VoIP providers via the cloud. Because these voice migrations need to include fax , the fax systems need to migrate to IP as well. T.38 has become the accepted fax over IP (FoIP) protocol to send and receive faxes over IP networks in real-time. Vendors today offer combined VoIP/FoIP platforms to satisfy this need.
The choice of vendors that provide IP-based voice AND fax protocol “stacks” is limited however; especially one that can provide easy migration and development tool to help customers with legacy systems migrate to IP environments.
