Commetrex is a big fan of the ITEXPO conferences. Smart ATA® made its debut at ITEXPO West 2011. Smart FoIP®, the patent-pending technology that powers Smart ATA, won Best of Show: Best Service Provider Solution at ITEXPO West 2012. We’ve gotten tons of leads at the shows and received great reviews on the product. Needless to say, we were at the most recent show: ITEXPO East 2014 in Miami Beach — for all of three hours on the last day.
You probably heard about the “snowpocalyse” that hit Atlanta in February. Or maybe you live in the Atlanta area and suffered through it, perhaps missing a flight or having yours cancelled. Well, it delayed our flight to Miami by two days. We persevered though and made it there for the last day of the show.
It was still a great experience and worth the effort. We received more great feedback on Smart ATA from the interested parties who came by our booth. If you were at the show but our abbreviated booth hours kept you from speaking with us, please send us an email and ask any questions you have.
ITEXPO Vegas was both fun and rewarding. We had some great conversations with service providers, resellers, and large businesses about how we overcome FoIP problems. While the star of our booth was still Smart ATA, our new FaxTap for SIP product stole the spotlight when it won Best of Show in the category of Best Service Provider Solution.
Commetrex CEO Mike Coffee discusses the company’s FoIP, VXML and future WebRTC solutions with Rich Tehrani of TMC.
ITEXPO Miami was a great success for us and our co-exhibitor, NetGen Communications.
Most of our booth traffic was interested in Smart ATA, which is a great solution for ITSPs to share with their customers. The product was so well received that we had orders waiting for us before the show was even closed! We also introduced FaxTap for SIP, a new FoIP analysis tool that picks up where WireShark leaves off.
Mike Coffee’s Interview:
Smart ATA Product Demo:
ITEXPO West was another hit for Commetrex, NetGen and Smart ATA. We spoke with many service providers who are seeking solutions to their FoIP problems and hoping to get away from keeping POTS lines for fax.
In addition to the many prospective customers at the show, Commetrex won a Best of Show award for its patent-pending Smart FoIP technology. The TMC panel of judges named Smart FoIP the Best Service Provider Solution at the show.

Mike Coffee explains how Smart FoIP works.
The show in Miami was a huge success for Commetrex (and NetGen Communications). Smart ATA, an analog telephone adapter powered by our patent-pending Smart FoIP technology, was a big hit, especially with the ITSPs. We’re very excited about this new product and the overwhelming response we’ve received.
