Extracomm Announces Support for Cantata's Brooktrout SR140 Fax-over-IP Platform
NEEDHAM, Mass and Ontario, Canada - June 18, 2007- Extracomm, a world class Lotus faxing and security technologies company, today announced support for Cantata Technology's Brooktrout® SR140™ Fax-over-IP (FoIP) platform on its ExtraFax™ fax server for Lotus Notes/Domino™. ExtraFax allows its customers with Lotus Notes/Domino™ to integrate fax communication seamlessly and cost-effectively on desktops and with custom business applications.

ExtraFax's Fax/Text/Multimedia platform leverages IP and mobile technologies to successfully address the challenges imposed by the multimedia communication revolution currently underway. It bridges the communication gap between today's network and the new network; integrating with IP-based voice networks and accommodating the ever-accelerating and divergent use of text messaging and MMS in business communication. As a future-ready, enterprise-class fax/messaging system designed explicitly for the Notes/Domino environment, ExtraFax's sustained refinements and enhancements are based on more than a decade's worth of feedback from hundreds of customers worldwide.

"The combined ExtraFax/Brooktrout SR140 FoIP solution was recently deployed at one of the largest industrial equipment manufacturers in North America," said Alex Chan, CEO of Extracomm. "They recently implemented a Voice over IP network within the company and needed to find a fax solution that would match or exceed the existing capabilities of their current fax solution. They selected the ExtraFax/Brooktrout SR140 solution not only because it met their security and record retention requirements, but also because the software-only 'boardless' design of the solution allows them to easily expand capacity worldwide as their needs grow."

With more than 70% market share worldwide, Cantata Technology is the market leader in intelligent fax platforms, offering the fullest-featured and broadest range of fax server platforms available on the market today. The software-only Brooktrout SR140 supports real-time IP fax, providing companies with the ability to integrate fax servers and fax document management solutions with their VoIP network. The SR140 is suitable for a variety of fax server applications such as document management, business process automation, and compliance with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.

"We've always been impressed with the quality and reliability of Cantata's Brooktrout line of fax platforms, and knew that the SR140 would provide all of the functionality and dependability that our customers have come to expect from our joint fax solutions," said Chan. "As companies make the switch to IP for their voice networks, this joint solution from Extracomm and Cantata can provide them with the benefits of moving their fax traffic to an IP network as well."
