SOFTBANK BB CORPORATION SELECTS INNOMEDIA DUAL-MODE VOIP GATEWAYS FOR JAPAN ENTERPRISE MARKET

InnoMedia’s dual-mode VoIP gateways seamlessly supports both PSTN and VoIP traffic to provide lower cost and more reliable telephony service for Softbank BB enterprise customers

 

Singapore and Milpitas, CA – March 17, 2004 – InnoMedia™, a leading supplier of broadband IP telephony solutions, today announced that Softbank BB Corporation (Softbank BB) has selected InnoMedia’s dual-mode VoIP gateways, IM11-P and IM22-I, to deliver voice services to enterprise users throughout Japan.

The InnoMedia dual-mode VoIP gateways, also marketed as MTA 3040 and MTA 3050, define a new category of VoIP gateways which seamlessly combine the best of the VoIP and the PSTN worlds. Dual-mode gateways take full advantage of VoIP’s cost saving and flexibility, and PSTN’s reliability, by intelligently switching between these two modes.

With InnoMedia’s dual-mode VoIP gateways, enterprise users can retain their existing PBX equipment and features, and receive phone calls with their existing telephone numbers on either the PSTN or the IP network. In addition, the unique digimap feature of the dual-mode VoIP gateways further allow pre-defined calls such as emergency calls or special area code dialing to be routed via PSTN automatically, thus, resolving the issue of emergency 911 calls.

The InnoMedia dual-mode VoIP gateways support PRI (T1/E1) interface, ISDN BRI interface, as well as analog interface, and interoperate and support industry standard protocols including MGCP and SIP.

“We selected InnoMedia for their world class products and technologies, responsiveness, and partnership commitment. The InnoMedia dual-mode VoIP gateways uniquely meet our customer requirements and as such, we expect to increase and expand our scope of collaboration with InnoMedia.” stated Mr. Junichi Miyakawa, General Manager, BB Phone Division, and Director of the board, SBB. “Their enterprise dual-mode VoIP gateways are the best product in their class. Using the InnoMedia IM11-P and IM22-I, we can quickly and easily offer VoIP service to our enterprise customers.”
