Free software update offers new features, enhanced VoIP service provider integration, and extended diagnostics to make installs even easier
Ottawa, Canada – July 4th, 2008 – TalkSwitch®, the leader in the design and manufacture of innovative telephone systems for small and multi-location businesses, and its Australian distributor Lan 1, today announced the release of TalkSwitch management software 6.10 in Australia.
The free software update offers TalkSwitch users new features for enhanced call handling flexibility and increased productivity, including the ability to integrate with multiple Internet Telephony Service Providers, with fail-over to PSTN for added security, plus more extensive diagnostic capabilities to simplify VoIP deployments.
In addition, users will notice a dramatic new Java-based graphical user interface that enhances the intuitive configuration experience, provides extensive help messaging for guidance, and makes installations even simpler.
“This software makes setting up and configuring a TalkSwitch system a snap,” said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, TalkSwitch. “And our customers are going to love the new things we’ve added in, such as the ability to take advantage of the offerings from multiple service providers. Software 6.10 gives unprecedented flexibility and control and further establishes TalkSwitch as the right choice for small businesses.”
For the first time customers have the option of integrating with up to 4 different service providers on a single system, allowing them to take advantage of the best offerings from each. If a certain service provider has great rates on local calling they can use that provider, then select a different one that has better long distance or international rates. It’s a great way to save money and get the most value and return on their phone system purchase.
There is also a built-in diagnostic tool that allows users to instantly check the status of firewall ports to ensure optimal connectivity for VoIP networking.
“The release of 6.10 software and the announcement that a second round of Authorised TalkSwitch Reseller Certification will begin in July, once again demonstrates the commitment Talkswitch and Lan 1 have to the Australian channel” said Mark Roberts, Business Manager for IP Networking at Lan 1. “The 6.10 release also sees the addition of a number of new user-friendly features which I expect will increase the competition for the “2008 Australian Talkswitch Reseller of the Year” title being announce later this year. The reseller channel certainly seem to be enjoying the new business opportunities created by the demand for the TalkSwitch product” said Roberts.
The remote management capabilities of TalkSwitch have been enhanced with support for centralized administration of TalkSwitch system updates, making TalkSwitch an even more attractive proposition for administrators and value added resellers seeking to manage networks of TalkSwitch systems across different locations.
This new software release is available for free to all existing Australian TalkSwitch customers and can be downloaded from: www.talkswitch.com.au/support/software/.
TalkSwitch systems are available through a network of resellers across Australia.
