Imagine ... or, perhaps, you’ve even been there. You’re having an FoIP problem so you run a test by sending, say, 200 faxes. Were there any failures? Which calls? If there were failures, what were the failure modes? Continue reading “FoIP Problems?” »

Commetrex isn't on the lips of every telecom CEO, but its technology is what's making FoIP work. Since 1998, Commetrex' fax and fax-related technologies have powered the servers, gateways, and ATAs of nearly every major industry OEM. And today, Commetrex and its sister company, NetGen Communications, are bringing the products and knowledge to the market to make FoIP work in carrier networks with Smart FoIP. This patent-pending technology finally allows ITSPs to stop saying, "Keep your POTS for fax."

In 3Q2012, the state of FoIP is good. Why? Because the right things are happening. In the enterprise, FoIP has become a given in the corporate network. True, many smaller organizations still keep their POTS lines for fax, but in larger private networks, fax is either done over SIP trunking or via gateways to the PSTN. But the real action is in service provider and carrier networks. Full Post

What is the key to FoIP success when using SIP trunking? First, you must have FoIP endpoints that really work. They must support both G.711 pass-through and T.38 FoIP. And, if they don’t have Commetrex’ Smart FoIP, you’re going to have to accept an up to five-percent failure rate regardless of what you do. Full Post

Fax just don’t get no respect! Every business uses fax, but, until recently, making FoIP work has been, at best, an afterthought by our industry. Item: wideband voice, a relatively new technology, is considered a major driver of ENUM, which allows pure-IP routing for HD (or wideband) voice. Full Post
