snom has teamed with Phybridge, this technology partnership gives businesses the ability to take advantage of the productivity enhancing features of IP telephony with minimal capital investment. Together, the two companies have conducted rigorous testing and evaluation that demonstrates full interoperability between snom’s suite of IP business phones and the Phybridge UniPhyer, an IP PBX and IP end-point enabler. The plug-and-play nature of UniPhyer allows a business to deploy a state of the art VoIP system while still retaining their legacy analog phone infrastructure - driving down the cost and risk for businesses to migrate to an end-to-end IP-based solution.

The Phybridge UniPhyer overcomes traditional barriers to IP phone migration. It leverages existing telephony cabling as a dedicated voice path, working in parallel with the existing LAN. There’s no network upgrade needed, resulting in lower costs and minimal business disruption. With fewer points of failure, the UniPhyer ensures quality of service.

Today, Phybridge customers can easily take advantage of snom’s commercial-grade SIP-based phone portfolio that features its 3XX series (snom 320, snom 360 and snom 370) and new 8XX series (snom 820 and snom 870 touch screen phone). The snom product suite also includes the snom MeetingPoint conferencing phone and snom m3 IP DECT phone. snom’s intelligent SIP endpoints can also support a wide variety of unified communications applications including Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 via its special firmware - snom OCS.

The joint solution featuring snom’s SIP phones and Phybridge UniPhyer is available through Novus.
