Camrivox™ launches Flexor range of easy-to-use VoIP adapters to simplify Internet telephony July 17, 2006
Cambridge, 17th July 2006 - Camrivox, a developer of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) equipment, has launched its Flexor range of VoIP adapters targeted at consumers and small and medium sized businesses. The new products allow VoIP calls to be made and received using an existing analogue telephone, without needing a PC.
"The Flexor 151 is the first in the product range, it is much easier to install and configure than any current competitive product," said David Moorhouse, VP of marketing at Camrivox. "This reduces the often significant support costs for service providers, and will help enable the roll out and mass market adoption of VoIP."
The new adapter works with any SIP-based VoIP service commonly used today and deployed by most major operators. The product can automatically select parameters based on the country of deployment, which allows operators to use Flexor 151 across a number of countries worldwide, cutting inventory and management costs.
The Flexor range of products supports branding, service configuration and provisioning via a Camrivox deployment server, allowing operators to deploy without ever "touching" the device; this further reduces roll-out costs.
With several orders placed by service providers and further contracts under negotiation, Camrivox has already begun volume production of the Flexor 151.
The Flexor 151 provides two Ethernet ports, one port for a telephone handset and one port for the existing PSTN phone network. It is connected to a user's broadband Internet connection for VoIP calls, and to the PSTN phone network as a fall-back for emergency calls.
As well as handling voice calls, the Flexor 151 can be easily integrated into an Internet-connected home or office, allowing telephony features and information to be accessed and shared with other networked devices. For example Outlook address book synchronization between the PC and the Flexor 151, and on-screen caller ID on a user's PC (if on) when a call is received. Further examples of computer telephony integration (CTI) are "click to dial" any telephone number in any PC application, or from the call history of received and dialed calls included on the embedded web pages of the product.
