In April we ill take a deep dive into Smart FoIP, and in May we will discuss &#8220;The Long Tail and Telephony&#8221;. You will receive exact dates and times soon. We also want to try something different. Please take one minute of your time to let us know what Commetrex technologies YOU want to learn more about.

And next to market is the MX product line of access and trunking gateways.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These gateways solve a wide range of enterprise application problems, such as PSTN access for Asterisk, and include models from four-to-120 ports. The expansion of Smart FoIP is underway, starting with the MX8A, which offers various combinations of station and office interfaces totaling 4 or 8 ports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing: the expandable 4-port unit lists for only $180 and the 8-port for $270. That means that if you have a BladeWare system that needs PSTN connectivity today but FoIP tomorrow, you can do it without add-in boards. Just drive the MX8A with the FoIP BladeWare. Including Smart ATA in the mix, you have 2-, 4-, 8-port PSTN interfaces for around $50 per port. And you don\u2019t have to give up V.34 because it\u2019s supported by BladeWare, Smart ATA, and the MX8A. \u00a0(The MX8A-8S is great for multi-tenant applications.)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MX8A users have commented how the benefits of Smart FoIP allow them to achieve fax success rates at near-PSTN quality levels and eliminate POTS lines. \u00a0No other ATAs can claim that! \u00a0It allows them to increase revenue, decrease costs, and eliminate headaches! It is the aspirin for fax over IP and its a great voice gateway as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Visit our sister-company at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.netgencommunications.com\/products\/mx-gateway-series\/mx-8-multipurpose-fxsfxo-atagateway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" shape=\"rect\">http:\/\/www.netgencommunications.com\/products\/mx-gateway-series\/mx-8-multipurpose-fxsfxo-atagateway\/<\/a>\u00a0to learn more.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5495&#8243;
