Sangoma Adds Embedded SBC to Market's Only All-in-One Lync Appliance and Achieves Microsoft Lync 2013 Certification

Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading provider of
hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications
Systems for both voice and data, announced the expansion to its award-winning
Lync Express series of all-in-one appliances with the release of Lync Express
2.0. The Lync Express solution integrates all the hardware and software elements
necessary for a complete deployment of Microsoft(R) Lync(TM) as a PBX
replacement, or a wide range of other use cases including Survivable Branch
Exchange, Office 365(TM) telephony support, and legacy PBX integration. Lync
Express 2.0 adds new models that scale up to 1000 Lync seats, includes
certification with Lync 2013, and incorporates a full-featured Session Border
Controller (SBC) for deployments using SIP trunks.


"In the convergence of Unified Communications (UC) application platforms like
Microsoft Lync and traditional Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
interworking, an all-in-one product like Lync Express bridges any technology gap
for enterprises and system integrators looking to deploy a comprehensive UC and
PBX replacement solution," said Mark Wagner, Sangoma vice president of carrier
and UC sales. "The inclusion of a robust SBC within Lync Express further
simplifies the use of combined SIP Trunks and traditional PSTN connections to
ensure communication resiliency and manage operational costs. For Microsoft
partners that may be less familiar with traditional telephony, the unique
all-in-one design of Lync Express makes it easy to deliver a turnkey Lync
solution."


Lync Express is an integrated appliance that provides the core capabilities
needed in any Lync deployment, and is available worldwide through Sangoma
partners and select Microsoft Gold Partners. The solution incorporates the
Microsoft Windows server, Microsoft Lync 2013 server, together with Sangoma's
SBC and VoIP gateway. The rack-mountable unit is available in a variety of
configurations to support PSTN connections, including E1/T1/J1 compliant digital
telephony spans, ISDN Basic Rate connections, and FXO or FXS line connections
for any legacy emergency phone or fax requirements. Lync Express is fully
certified with Microsoft Lync 2013 and supporting services, and remains the only
fully integrated Lync PBX replacement product in the market. 


"In the UK market we are seeing a significant uplift in requests for Lync due to
rising interest in UC features like IM, presence and screen sharing," said
Annette Reynolds, head of unified communications, Ingram Micro UK. "Sangoma's
Lync Express makes it simple to provide these capabilities, and a vast array of
other features and services, in multiple deployment scenarios spanning PBX
replacement, survivable branch exchange implementations, integration of legacy
and VoIP networks, and the adoption of Office365 by enterprises large and small.
The all-in-one nature of Lync Express is a unique offering that makes things
very easy for channel partners like Ingram Micro to deploy and support Lync
through our resellers."
