MONTREAL, CANADA, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
Editors note: A photo and a video are included with this press release on
Marketwire's website.

Sagem-Interstar Inc. (Sagem Communications), the global leader in
advanced IP fax server solutions (www.sagem-interstar.com), has launched
XMediusFAX Release 6.0 - the industry's first patented T.38 FoIP solution
to offer comprehensive enterprise and remote branch office fax
survivability capabilities. Sagem-Interstar's XMediusFAX 6.0 solution is
being launched this week at VoiceCon Orlando (Booth #1417), March 30 to
April 1 at the Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, Orlando,
Florida.

Survivability of an increasingly business critical application like fax
must be integrated within an overall corporate business continuity plan
(BCP) that includes an assessment of the total cost of application
downtime. With XMediusFAX 6.0, the IP fax server survivability solution
can be cost-efficiently tailored to address a wide range of system
availability and disaster recovery objectives consistent with the
specific fax service downtime impact. Whatever survivability solution is
selected, XMediusFAX's fundamental scalability and security features are
not compromised.

XMediusFAX software solutions are optimized to efficiently address the
accelerating global TDM to IP migration trend, deliver enhanced
productivity, streamlined operations, and lower Total Cost of Ownership
(TCO). These solutions address diverse fax deployment drivers ranging
from increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, evolving
infrastructure strategies (i.e., UC, ECM, 'branch' optimization),
flexible application integration (ERP / CRM) to adoption of more
economical, eco-friendly core technologies (i.e., FoIP,
virtualization,SIP trunking) and versatile multifunction devices (MFDs).

"XMediusFAX software solutions provide users the flexibility to rapidly
send and receive faxes from a wide spectrum of interfaces (e.g., desktop
email clients, MFPs, cell phones, etc.) and with guaranteed performance",
says John Nikolopoulos, Director of Marketing, Sagem-Interstar. "The
innovative survivability and robust virtualization capabilities of
Sagem-Interstar's XMediusFAX FoIP solutions ensure corporate governance
and green-related IT priorities are cost-efficiently addressed. Such
solutions minimize potential fax application downtime that could
adversely impact productivity, revenue, customer service, compliance
processes, and even corporate reputation."

Customer Quote:

Van Meter Industrial, one of North America's largest electrical and
automation wholesale distributors and a long-time XMediusFAX SP customer,
is the first to deploy the new XMediusFAX 6.0 branch survivability FoIP
solution within a Cisco AXP/ISR 2800 environment. This deployment was
driven by the fundamental need to minimize the impact of the loss of fax
service at a remote branch due to WAN link problems.

Ron Rathjens, Senior Network Engineer, Van Meter Industrial

"We have been using the XMediusFAX solution for over 3 years. During the
past year we have experienced some WAN issues (i.e. over-subscribed
bandwidth) and needed a 'quick fix' so we could continue receiving faxes
while our WAN was being upgraded. We selected the XMediusFAX AXP solution
because it gave us that 'quick fix' we were looking for. It also provided
us with a robust, redundant system that easily integrated into our
existing infrastructure. The AXP integration was easy to install by
simply plugging the NME module into our existing Cisco ISR router and
configuring the software."
