ALCATEL-LUCENT CERTIFIES CANTATA'S BROOKTROUT FAX-OVER-IP TECHNOLOGY

Cantata's Brooktrout TR1034 and SR140 Pass Rigorous Interoperability Testing

Cantata Technology[TM], one of the world's leading independent providers of enabling communications technology, today announced that its Brooktrout[R] SR140[TM] and TR1034[TM] fax-over-IP platforms have passed Alcatel-Lucent's interoperability tests and have received official certification on Alcatel-Lucent's OmniPCX Enterprise communications platform. The Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise is an integrated, interactive communications solution for medium-sized businesses and large corporations. The solution combines traditional telephone functions with support for Internet-based telephony and multimedia communication.

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. Fax server technology sits squarely at the intersection of communications, document management, business process automation, and compliance. The shift to IP communications, combined with the increased focus on business process automation and document management, makes the IP fax server an excellent solution as companies accelerate their IP communications plans.

Alcatel-Lucent worked closely with Cantata to test and certify that the Brooktrout TR1034 and SR140 fax-over-IP products were fully interoperable with the OmniPCX Enterprise communications platforms. Alcatel-Lucent's customers can now take advantage of Cantata's market-leading fax technology as they deploy fax-over-IP applications on their VoIP networks.

"One of the primary reasons companies implement fax-over-IP is the consolidation of voice and data traffic onto a single IP network," said Peter Vescuso, vice president of marketing for Cantata Technology. "As companies make that transition using the Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX communications platform, they can deploy Cantata's Brooktrout-based IP Fax technology with confidence, knowing that it has been fully tested and certified by Alcatel-Lucent."

Cantata's Brooktrout TR1034 is a high performance V.34 intelligent fax platform offering support for both PSTN and fax-over-IP connectivity. The Brooktrout TR1034 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. The Brooktrout SR140 offers the same capabilities as the TR1034 in a software-only solution, with the additional benefits inherent to a software-only solution, such as easier installation and upgrades with no hardware to maintain, and freedom from issues with form factors and server expansion slots.
