T.38 is the ITU standard for Real-Time Group 3 Facsimile transmission between terminals, where a portion of the transmission path between terminals includes an IP network such as the Internet.
MESSAGEmanager T.38 IP FAX software provides high performance fax capability and reliability with the industry leading T.30 protocol, Error Correction Mode, MMR fax compression plus real-time IP Fax. Host-based processing allows media processing and call control functions — traditionally performed by specialised digital signal processors (DSP) on boards — to be performed on general purpose host CPU’s that run on industry standard servers.
MESSAGEmanager IP FAX eliminates the need to deploy and maintain remote fax servers in multiple locations, substituting inexpensive Gateways which connect to the PSTN.
Messages are routed over the IP network to the PSTN destination via the nearest T.38 Fax Gateway. Savings of up to 40% have been reported from shifting fax traffic to IP networks.
MESSAGEmanager integrates with Cisco Routers, Cisco Call Manager, Avaya Media Gateways, Alcatel – Lucent switches, Audiocodes, Quintum, 3Com and other SIP and H.323 compliant T.38 gateways and routers.
With no boards to install or maintain, MESSAGEmanager reduces complexity, simplifies deployment, lowers maintenance costs and is scaleable to an unlimited number of users simply by licensing extra channels – no new hardware is required.
