Snom Endpoints Certified for FreePBX

After successful completion of functionality and usability testing, the entire range of Snom IP telephones has been certified for full interoperability with the FreePBX platform. This certification means the FreePBX Project engineering and development teams have tested Snom endpoints for functionality and usability within the FreePBX platform and EndPoint Manager.

Frederic Dickey, Sangoma Technologies VP of Marketing, stated: “FreePBX is all about freedom of choice for business communications systems. The addition of Snom’s phones to the list of supported endpoints in the EndPoint Manager module confirms our approach to the market. EndPoint Manager enables easy provisioning and management of supported endpoints directly from within the FreePBX Administrative GUI, saving a great deal of time in the implementation of systems.”

BT Wholesale Approved Routers

As of April 2016 BT Openreach have changed their FTTC installation process. This has meant they no longer supply or install their modem for FTTC connections. Service providers now need to supply VDSL2 modems that connect to the BT phone socket.

Due to popular demand we have added two Technicolor routers to our portfolio that have BT Wholesale approval.

These are the TG588v v2 and the TG589vac. Both routers support ADSL2+, VDSL and are ideal for Fibre to the Cabinet scenarios. The TG589vac also features IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard for the 5 GHz band, enabling even higher throughput and better Wi-Fi coverage.

The TG589vac also features a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Ports where as the TG588v v2 features 4 Fast Ethernet LAN Ports.

We offer a router set-up service for our resellers. For a small charge we can pre-provision either generic or customer specific settings to your routers prior to despatch. This enables fast and smooth installation at your customer’s site.

Eartec 700 Pro Series Headsets

 

Eartec have recently developed a new range of premium headsets, which are available from ProVu. Eartec is fast becoming the popular choice for headsets and since its launch we’ve had a very positive response and experienced an extremely low return rate.

The new Eartec 700 Pro Series offers users a slick, yet robust design. And with in-built, two tier noise cancelling technology, it gives an enhanced user experience, even in noisy and busy working environments. We believe these new headsets will be a great addition for users wanting more from their headset but at an affordable price point.
