Patton and 3CX Deliver Bundled VOIP and IP-PBX Solution with Deerfield.com
January 22, 2008 - Winners of the Internet Telephony® 2007 Product-of-the-Year award team up to deliver flexible, Windows-based VoIP for Small Businesses in the USA and Canada.
MIAMI, FLORIDA and GAITHERSBURG, MARYLAND: 3CX
— developer of the software-based Private Branch Exchange (PBX) for Windows — and Patton Electronics Company— the industry leader in business-class network access, connectivity and VoIP equipment —announce that Deerfield.com has paired 3CX’s software-based IP-PBX for Windows with Patton’s SmartNode™ VoIP gateways as a “SMB Bundle.”
For small and medium businesses (SMBs), the “SMB Bundle” combines all the features of a traditional PBX with the cost savings and added features of VoIP (free calling, consolidated operations, computer-resident soft phones, and voicemail–email integration). Rigorously tested and certified for interoperability, the Patton and 3CX solution enables a gradual transition to VoIP that avoids the expense and risk of a wholesale migration.
“We are excited to partner with such award-winning companies as Patton and 3CX,” said Mike Deerfield, CEO of Deerfield.com. “Their products offer powerful features not available from any other suppliers. Three years running SmartNode™ won product of the year. The SMB Bundle is exactly what businesses need to transition to unified communications
"It’s a privilege to work with such market leaders as Patton and Deerfield.com,” said Nick Galea, CEO of 3CX. “Together we multiply the value for our mutual customers. Deerfield gives North American companies easy access to state-of-the-art communications.”
SmartNode™ gateways provide all the traditional telephony interfaces (PRI, BRI, FXS, FXO, T1, and E1) that interconnect Windows computers running 3CX PBX software with installed POTS and ISDN phone and fax equipment.
”As we approach our silver anniversary, we are honored to be working shoulder-to-shoulder with such industry front-runners as 3CX and Deerfield.com,” said Bobby Patton, President of Patton Electronics. “It’s a collaboration of innovation.”
"Interoperability is the word in today’s converging networks," said John Wu, VoIP Product Line Manager at Patton. “No business can risk an untested, non-standard system. We are very pleased 3CX has chosen the most interoperable VoIP equipment for their bundled solution."
