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."

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

Just returned from ITEXPO. It was in blazing-hot Austin, TX, which is a very cool town. And it was very cool for Commetrex and NetGen Communications, our sister company, which is producing and marketing Smart ATA, which we announced at the show. It also turned out to be way cool for the ITSPs who stopped at our booth when they learned about Smart ATA, and what it could do for their success with FoIP. Full Post

If you read our newsletters, you may remember that Commetrex has developed a new FoIP technology, Smart FoIP, which, among other things, improves the success of FoIP session establishment by up to 10% in SIP networks. Now, instead of talking about technology, we’re talking about a product that uses the technology to solve major problems for the industry. Full Post
Smart FoIP in Gateways

The wide-scale deployment of V.34 fax terminals is making the design of FoIP-capable IP-PSTN gateways much more of a challenge since V.34 terminals employ a completely different start-up sequence than non-V.34 machines. Moreover, since gateways typically begin calls in G.711 pass-through mode (rather than T.38), V.34-capable endpoints can actually “hear each other” well in advance of the resolution of the SIP signaling resolving the session’s setup. This means the gateways must take an “activist” role to ensure that T.38 is “given a chance” prior to the endpoints going on their merry way, leaving the gateways behind. Full Post
