Broadband provider, iBurst, has selected the Tellumat Sigma small office communications system to complement its suite of voice and data services.
With 70 000 individual and business broadband customers and a highly successful VOIP phone offering, iBurst's access technologies range from iBurst Wireless, WiMax, ADSL and HSDPA.
"The Sigma closes a vital gap in our offering, as it brings broadband IP telephony, Internet access and networking to our business customers with more than one user, giving SMEs that 'big-business' clout," says Thami Mtshali, CEO of iBurst.
"Tellumat is the ideal partner for us, as they've gained respect in the market as a long-standing supplier to businesses and consumers, with the technical and sales support credentials to back an excellent product."
"The Sigma has really taken the market by storm since its launch in 2007," says Bennie Langenhoven, managing executive of Tellumat Telecoms, the communications arm of the Tellumat Group. "It is already being offered in partnership with the country's leading telcos, including iBurst and Vox Telecom, and its success in leading BT's broadband push in the UK speaks for itself.
"We relish the opportunity to partner with iBurst, as they offer high-speed, reliable connectivity suited to voice as well as data communications, which can be deployed very quickly."
With a modest desk footprint of 20cm (wide) by 19cm (high) by 8cm (deep), the Sigma features:
* ADSL modem
* Wi-Fi access point with WEP and WPA encrypted security
* Four-port network hub
* Mini-PBX (two exchange lines)
* DECT (cordless phone) base station with support for four handsets
* Four wired telephone extensions
* Built-in firewall
* Built-in voicemail
* Voice over IP support
* Least-cost routing (international calls automatically redirect via your VOIP service provider), and
* Full remote management
iBurst will bundle the Sigma with a choice of broadband technologies and voice minutes, planning its launch for September 2008.
