- System monitoring and alerts through SNMP
- Built-in server redundancy
- Ability to handle up to 480 fax channels per server
- Boardless desktop IP faxing (without expensive fax boards)

The product will be of interest to any service provider or large enterprise that has deployed or plans to deploy an IP telephony infrastructure and wants to address the "fax problem" in IP networks with an elegant and economical software solution that is field-proven to manage large fax volumes and deliver high levels of reliability and availability.
“Sagem-Interstar is the industry's leader in FoIP technology and dominates the market for boardless FoIP fax servers. We were the first vendor to field a T.38 FoIP fax server when we launched our XMediusFAX product line in 2002,” said Martin Demers, General Manager of Sagem-Interstar Inc. “Since 2002, the boardless XMediusFAX FoIP product line has helped thousands of customers realize the full cost savings and increased flexibility of their IP telephony investment.”
About XMediusFAX SP Release 5.0
XMediusFAX is a software product that enables users to send and receive faxes like email. In a unified messaging deployment, faxes share a common inbox along with email and voicemail. XMediusFAX uses the T.38 Fax over IP protocol to talk directly to VoIP gateways from vendors, such as Cisco, Avaya, AudioCodes, 3Com, Alcatel, and Vegastream. It allows customers to leverage their existing IP Telephony infrastructure to reliably send and receive faxes without purchasing specialized fax boards.
XMediusFAX SP partitions networks into hundreds of virtual fax servers, each with their own settings, queues, and administrators. The solution is ideal for companies requiring support for multiple T1s on a single server, whether they are large enterprises with several branch offices worldwide or simply an enterprise of any size that wants to accurately account for costs by business unit or by department. XMediusFAX enables easy planning, monitoring and management of an organization’s own fax service.
Award-Winning XMediusFAX SP Benefits:
- Fault tolerance, built-in redundancy (clustering) and SSL encryption for secure, reliable T.38 FoIP: solid performance for fax outsourcing and email-based faxing. T.38 FoIP is a reliable alternative to standard voice CODECs.
- Scalability to 480 fax channels per server. Other industry solutions are limited to 96 channels per server because of their reliance on fax boards and less efficient software drivers.
- Enables service providers and enterprises to control costs and to increase cash flow by purchasing their own FoIP software, instead of re-branding 3rd party fax services. XMediusFAX SP enables easy packaging, marketing and expansion of fax services per evolving business needs.
- Boardless FoIP: simple installation/upgrade. As the world’s first boardless FoIP solution, XMediusFAX does not require fax boards. This means easy installation, rapid upgrade via only a software license adjustment, reduced costs and greater ROI.
