As a Cisco Technology Developer Partner, Interstar’s XMediusFAX fax server software is Cisco Compatible and certified to interoperate with all major Cisco VoIP gateways. This enables IP fax functionality in a VoIP network equipped with Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes email messaging platforms. XMediusFAX acts as an essential component to unified messaging, allowing faxes to share a common inbox along with voicemail and email.

Interstar’s boardless FoIP technology has been popular on the Cisco front, since the XMediusFAX fax server solution further leverages existing Cisco VoIP investments through:

• Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), selling for 25% the price of leading fax server solutions requiring extra hardware

• Software-only fax server technology that eliminates the hassle of hardware configuration and upgrades and facilitates compliance to regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act and HIPAA, by routing faxes to intended recipients securely and confidentially, creating an audit trail

• Integrating seamlessly with Cisco VoIP gateways and unified messaging platforms to further deliver on the VoIP promise of improved mobility, so faxes can be sent fast and efficiently from anywhere and anytime

• VoIP-readiness, enabling an easy and transparent migration path from PSTN- to VoIP-based fax communications. Also operates with legacy fax boards in PSTN environments, facilitating VoIP migration.

“Interstar is proud to have such close ties with Cisco as a proven Cisco Technology Developer Partner. XMediusFAX is sure to evolve as a Cisco Compatible fax server, in complete synchronization with Cisco VoIP networking requirements,” said Martin Demers, President and CEO of Interstar Technologies Inc.“ We have been very active recently signing highly productive and prestigious Cisco resellers such as Nexus IS, eNETsolutions, Force 3 Inc., APPTIS and World Wide Technologies.”
