World Premiere at CeBIT Australia: snom OCS edition enhances business communication

BERLIN & SYDNEY, Australia--(Business Wire)--
snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP
(VoIP) telephones (www.snom.com), today announced the first open,
standards-based native Office Communication SIP telephone. The snom
OCS edition will be introduced to the public for the first time at
CeBIT Australia, booth C58, Sydney, 20-22 May 2008. With the snom OCS
edition, users can integrate any of snom's 3xx series VoIP phones with
Microsoft Office Communication Server (OCS) providing them with
advanced communications features of Microsoft OCS. To call someone,
the user simply has to click on the active directory and the computer
can place the call. Furthermore, users can search for their contacts
and view their status and send files directly out of OCS. Thus, snom
OCS edition is the first VoIP phone to provide professional business
communication features like VPN through open standards.

The snom OCS edition phone is SIP-based and can work in parallel
on existing IP-PBXs enabling SMBs to gradually transition to business
VoIP via hybrid telephony infrastructures. The snom OCS edition phone
features a large display area with built-in greyscales to provide
users with a clear image of the information on the screen. The phone
also enables users to customize the display by way of graphics and
high-resolution pictures. It can support several audio devices
simultaneously, such as the handset, headset and hands-free. Like all
snom VoIP phones, the snom OCS edition is extremely low-current (2 W).

With the snom OCS edition, it is possible for the open standards
community to enjoy for the first time the benefits of unified
communications. Via VPN (Virtual Private Network), the user can even
connect remote offices and remote user businesses. The snom OCS
edition will debut at CeBIT Australia 2008 this week. After the trade
show, snom will embark on a worldwide road show to be launched under
the slogan "unify, simplify, snomify" to Australia (Melbourne and
Sydney), USA, Europe and Africa.
