Indeed corporate accounts are often constrained against adopting a new voice platform by large, long-term investments in a legacy PBX. Meanwhile the SME is being offered low risk, low disruption, high-value propositions from service providers such as Skype, Devil7 and Evoxus. Furthermore, recent advances in the IP-PBX and gateway space promise huge opportunity for the reseller focused on the SME market.

VegaStream’s Vega 50 6x4 is the ultimate configurable gateway targeted at the SME market. This product lets the reseller deliver a wide range of IP/TDM gateway options supporting analog exchange lines and end points as well as Basic Rate ISDN in a single, compact form factor. Driven by VegaStream’s award winning configuration and dial planner software, this gateway provides a simple, one stop solution to migrate and integrate the typical amalgam of lines acquired by the growing SME to a converged VoIP solution.

In an associated move, VegaStream has also become corporate sponsor of SIPFoundry, the not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the development of open source software for SIP-based communications on industry standard platforms. SIPFoundry is following the Linux/Red Hat model with Pingtel adopting the role of Red Hat as the company to bring SIPFoundry output to market as fully supported and commercialised product. Pingtel’s current IP-PBX offering comes to market up at up to 70% less cost than equivalent solutions from traditional telecoms hardware vendors. They look on track to meet their goal “to bring PC economics to the VoIP industry.”

For once, it looks like the SME may have an edge over the corporates!
