Microsoft Response Point Program Selects Quintum to Provide Compatible VoIP Switches and Gateways
The Combination of Response Point and Quintum VoIP Products Address a Broad Set of Small and Medium Business Customers’ Needs
Eatontown, NJ September 17th, 2008
Quintum Technologies, an innovator in VoIP technologies and a subsidiary of Network Equipment Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: NWK), announced today that, under an agreement with Microsoft, it has developed a VoIP T1/E1/PRI gateway and an FXS gateway that use the Response Point digital phone system software.
Response Point offers small and medium businesses the ability to deploy VoIP throughout their network with IP PBX telephony advantages usually enjoyed only by larger enterprises. These features include SIP trunking, click-to-call functionality for contacts using the Assistant software, Call Detail Records (CDR), and the ability to select music for parked calls and hold time. The Response Point systems feature innovative voice recognition that responds to voice commands. This feature allows employees to call people within the company without dialing, verbally access contacts from Outlook and voicemail, as well as transfer calls. Outside callers can simply state with whom they would like to speak.
Quintum will release two Response Point Gateways that are compatible with all of the IP telephone systems based on Response Point. The digital gateway will support a T1, E1 or PRI connection, and the analog gateway will support up to 4 FXS ports. These gateways have been specifically designed to work with any Response Point based IP telephony system. The Quintum Response Point gateways allow you to set up your system in a matter of minutes. When installing the analog gateway, the Response Point application configures the gateway for you. When installing a T1 or E1 Gateway, the Response Point customized configuration wizard will step you through the process for simple set up.
“Small businesses want PBX functionality without the PBX complication and cost,” said Xuedong Huang, general manager of Microsoft Response Point. “Quintum’s Response Point Gateways will allow businesses to easily deploy the Response Point system via a T1, E1 or PRI connection.”
“Quintum recognizes that all sizes of companies need to support and maximize the investment in their existing organization infrastructure, particularly in this economy,” said Chuck Rutledge, Vice President of Marketing for NET/Quintum. “We are very excited about working closely with Microsoft to meet the needs of Response Point customers.”
“Quintum’s gateways are a perfect complement to D-Link's VoiceCenter IP Phone System,” said Brian Nickell, Product Manager of D-Link. “Response Point customers will be pleasantly surprised at the ease with which they can be installed and how quickly their new phone systems will be up and running.”
Syspine’s Digital Operator Phone System is an all-in-one communications solution which, when coupled with Quintum’s latest technology, will give businesses even more flexibility in connecting voice to the network. “We think Quintum is right on the mark. On top of the analog and SIP trunk capability we currently offer with the Syspine solution, the custom-designed Quintum VoIP T1/E1/PRI gateway adds digital trunk capability any small or medium business could deploy,” said Syspine’s Director, Robert Gordon.
Quintum has created a microsite in which all new Response Point information can be found. The microsite can be found at: Response Point.
