CITEL ANNOUNCES FULL ROLL OUT OF SIP/IAX2 COMPATIBLE IP PHONE AT ASTRICON 2009
Amherst, NY October 19, 2009 � Citel. The VoIP Migration Company today
announced a full roll out of its 2-line SIP / IAX2 compatible IP
Telephone following its participation at AstriCon 2009 in Glendale,
Arizona. Management initiated a gradual introduction of its C-4110 IP
Telephone five months ago to test market acceptance for its entry level
IP Telephone and, after strong positive feedback from the market,
determined a full roll out was appropriate.
The Citel IP-Phone 4110, manufactured with high quality in mind, offers
unique value as an advanced, fully featured two-line IP Telephone that
takes full advantage of VoIP technology by offering a flexible,
interoperable solution at an affordable price. It leverages the SIP
& IAX2 standards to provide advanced calling, conferencing, and
messaging features.
Having a phone supporting IAX2 is an excellent fit for those deploying Asterisk (News - Alert). The Key Feature list includes the following:
� 2 Line / Call appearances with LED;
� Web based configuration and auto-provisioning via TFTP;
� Dual Ethernet, PoE, SIP and IAX2 compatible;
� 8 distinctive ring tones, volume and ringer level control and voicemail retrieval via keypad or programmable keys;
� Integrated 2 port 10/100 MBPs switch, RJ9 headset jack and VLAN / DHCP support
One blogger reported after testing a unit that "I would also have no problem deploying this phone for a hosted PBX (News - Alert)
(Asterisk) system - in fact I would probably deploy this phone over a
pure SIP phone due to its support for IAX." The key advantages of IAX2
over SIP are efficient use of bandwidth, and ease of use in NAT
situations - there is no need for the additional complication of
Session Border Controller or Application LayerGateway ( News - Alert)
functionality needed with SIP. IAX2 easily traverses firewalls and
network address translators. This is in contrast to SIP, H.323 and MGCP
which use an out-of-band RTP stream to deliver information.
Being one of the first US companies to come to market with its own SIP
/ IAX2 compatible phone, Citel is proud of its leading edge products
and is excited about the market potential for its IP Telephone and is
already working towards expanding its IP Telephone product line. For
