The recently launched revolutionary UT series of wired SIP phones from Panasonic has incorporated DSP Group’s (News
- Alert) VoIP chipset solution. DSP Group and Panasonic have also collaborated to power Panasonic’s family of SIP phones with DSP’s VoIP chipset solution.
In a release, Kim Murtagh, Product Manager for SIP Endpoints at Panasonic (News - Alert) System Communications Company of North America, said, "The release of our UT series of SIP phones was aided by years of close collaboration with DSP Group. With our innovative family of SIP phones, we have proven, yet again, our ability to successfully work together with DSP Group to effectively serve the rapidly growing IP enterprise phone market. As Panasonic's newest line of SIP telephones the UT series addresses a need for cost-effective, flexible, dependable communication solutions for the small to mid-sized business market."
All the wired SIP models from Panasonic, including the KX-UT136-B, KX-UT133-B, KX-UT123-B and KX-UT113-B have incorporated the integrated VoIP chipset from DSP Group. Various SIP-based IP PBX (News - Alert) platforms can now work together with the UT series, thereby addressing the needs of the hosted service providers in this rapidly growing market. DSP Group and Panasonic are two of the top companies in wireless telephony that have entered into a long-term relationship for DECT (News - Alert) and VoIP. The economically-viable and scalable UT series can therefore easily integrate DECT technology.
Ran Klier, Vice President of Cordless and VoIP Product Line Management at DSP Group, said, "We are delighted to have partnered with Panasonic as a lead customer for our cutting-edge VoIP chipset solution, which enables the company to offer a diverse range of IP phones including some of the market's most advanced models. This successful venture is another indication of our mutual IP telephony commitment and joint roadmap, as we work on developing next-generation models and bringing the SIP enterprise phone to unprecedented levels of functionality and value."
