For the past fifteen years, Commetrex® has made "developed for OEM" a way of life. Developers of digital-media telephony systems use our products to shorten time-to-market and reduce project costs. We forge strong partnerships with our customers by making our customer's project an extension of our development.

Commetrex offers a variety of media-processing technologies for the voice and fax markets. And with our 16-year focus on fax, Commetrex has become the “Trusted Source for Fax Technologies”™ for the gateway and media-server telecom OEM, featuring products, such as

• T.38 Fax Relay, version 3 with V.34 support,
• TerminatingT38 (which we invented),
• Multi- Modal Terminating Fax (another first),
• Smart FoIP
• T.30 Protocol,
• Fax Modem Bundle, and
• V.34 Fax Modem.

Commetrex also offers products for the voice market, including G.168 Echo Canceller, Signal Generator/Detector, and Call Progress Analysis.

In addition, we offer BladeWareVXi, the commercial version of our open-source VoiceXML interpreter, BladeWareVXML. It is a significantly-enhanced version of OpenVXi, the industry's most widely-deployed VoiceXML interpreter. To complement that offering, Commetrex introduced BladeWareStudio, a low-cost, easy-to-use, gui-based VoiceXML 2.1 compliant application-creation tool, specifically designed for the OEM.

Commetrex’ BladeWare™ HMP SIP- and PSTN-based telephony platform hosts Commetrex’ award-winning PowerFax® with TerminatingT38 (which we invented 10 years ago), our fax modems, which first shipped in 1994, our widely deployed V.34 Super G3 fax modem, and our integration of the entire line of Sangoma PSTN analog and digital telephony-interface boards. Think of these boards as fax boards that aren’t fax boards since all they do is provide the PSTN interface. The media processing is done with host-based MIPS, so the price of these boards reflects their bare-bones functionality. What’s more, you write just one resource adapter, which enables your application to address

• SIP-based T.38, with Version 3 support,
• SIP-based G.711 pass-through fax, with V.34 Super G3 support,
• 2-24-line mix-n-match FXS and FXO trunks,
• Single-, dual-, and quad-span E1/T1 with ISDN PRI, and
• 2-48-ports of ISDN BRI.

And all on the same system at the same time.

Did we mention that BladeWare supports T.38 and G.711 pass-through FoIP? Many vendors without this capability want to tell you that their not supporting G.711-based fax doesn’t matter since it doesn’t work. Don’t’ believe them. Although with certain networks and equipment G.711 fax can be problematic, you don’t want to abandon users of VoIP service providers that don’t support T.38 yet deliver error-free fax.

Then there’s Commetrex’ "Smart FoIP” patent-applied-for technology, that takes full advantage of BladeWare’s G.711 support to deliver the industry’s highest rates of completed fax over IP-carrier networks.

Although Commetrex’ purpose is to serve the OEM with the industry’s best value-adding platform, service providers have sponsored our development of application-level products they needed to meet a specific focused need, resulting in three ready-to-deploy BladeWare-based applications:

• BladeWare Fax Media Server (FMS),
• BladeWare Fax-to-Email Server (F2E),
• BladeWare Email-to-Fax Server (E2F),
• BladeWare Fax-to-Email For Exchange 2010,

BladeWare FMS is used in distributed architecture or IMS-like service networks to implement unified-messaging systems. Here, a SIP-based application server implements the UM application, using BladeWare FMS as an adjunct media server, controlled by MSCML to send and receive faxes.

BladeWare F2E and E2F are stand-alone implementations of these basic VoIP value-adding services. Add an interface to your subscriber interface and billing system and you’re revenue-ready.

The source code for these applications is provided in their SDKs and licenses are purchased on a per-channel basis.
