MARKHAM, Ontario, April 2, 2019 /CNW/ -- Sangoma Technologies
Corporation (TSX VENTURE: STC), a trusted leader in delivering
Unified Communications solutions for SMBs, Enterprises, OEMs, and
Service Providers, both on-premises and in the cloud, today
announced the release of Switchvox 7, the latest software version
of the Switchvox UC solution. Switchvox 7 introduces advanced
conferencing features for greater collaboration, delivers added
functionality for D-Series IP phones with call pickup capabilities,
and upgrades the platform's operating system for improved
performance and security. Switchvox 7
marks the first major release of Switchvox since Sangoma's
acquisition of Digium, which finalized in September of 2018.
"Sangoma is committed to the Switchvox Unified Communications
platform," says Bill Wignall, CEO of
Sangoma. "Since the acquisition of Digium, we have invested many
resources into making Switchvox an even better solution that
provides a greater value to our customer base. It is important for
our customers and partners to know that we are dedicated to
Switchvox and are relentlessly working to grow the platform,
starting with the capabilities added in Switchvox 7. The release
includes new features, performance enhancements, and deeper
integrations with the D-Series IP phones. We look forward to
continuing to enhance Switchvox going forward."
The Switchvox Meet Me Conference feature has been expanded in
Switchvox 7 to enable more transparency for conference room
administrators and to provide them with additional tools for
ensuring productive conference calls. A new Conference Widget shows
all conference participants, highlights speakers, and provides the
ability to mute or remove participants and end the call. The widget
is available for the browser-based Switchboard end-user dashboard
and for the D80, an affordable, HD touchscreen IP phone, giving
users access to visual conference control on their computer from
any location or right from their phone screen.
Switchvox 7 provides a more integrated and collaborative
experience for D-Series IP phone users with call pickup
capabilities. The new functionality allows users to pick up an
incoming call on their Digium IP phone destined for another user's
extension. This new feature ensures calls are never missed
when someone is away from their desk, or unavailable, since there
is someone monitoring the inbound calls from another IP phone.
In addition to added features and capabilities, Switchvox 7 is
the highest-performing release to date. Now, users can enjoy
greater processing power and added security.
Switchvox 7 is available today for Switchvox on-premise
customers with an active subscription and the following supported
appliances: E510, E520, E530, E540, 80, 310, 360, 380, 450, or
470.
"Digium has been a trusted supplier for years, with the
consistency we've come to rely on. The 7.0 release takes the best
value in Unified Communications to an even higher level. How can
you better all-inclusive software? Add more features and that's
exactly what this release has done. This new release reinforces
Sangoma's commitment to Switchvox. I look forward to offering
Switchvox to our clients for many years to come," said Jim Anderson, President of Unitel Inc.
