CudaTel, a provider of phone systems for businesses, and Sangoma Technologies, a provider of voice and data connectivity components, have entered into a partnership to deliver the new CudaTel Communication Server IP-PBX appliance.
CudaTel, a subsidiary of Barracuda Networks, provides office phone systems by integrating software from the open source FreeSWITCH project, along with Sangoma’s telephony interface cards, in an appliance designed for ease-of-use and cost effectiveness.
The companies said that the new all-in-one IP-PBX appliance will support a range of configurations to connect to traditional telephony networks, from 4-port analog connections to 120-port digital interfaces. Sangoma builds its telephony interface boards to enable software-based communication applications to run efficiently on a host computer.
Sean Heiney, product manager of CudaTel, said: Sangoma’s compact form factor, completeness of telephony protocol support and FreeSWITCH software compatibility allows us to deliver a tightly integrated, cost-effective and easy-to-use appliance, that closely mirrors the design and affordability of heritage Barracuda Networks’ products.
Serge Forest, vice president of marketing at Sangoma, said: Everything we do at Sangoma is aimed at enhancing and completing software-based communication applications. With Barracuda Networks’ well-known expertise in designing, manufacturing and marketing high-quality, easy-to-use appliances, we believe CudaTel is poised for great success in the enterprise, and we are proud to be along for the ride.
