TMCnet's SIP Phones Week in Review

By Michelle Amodio


Happy Friday! Here at TMCnet, Friday means a recap of all the news happening right now in tech. For this edition, we’re focusing on all things SIP Phones. Without further ado, let’s see what was reported in this space this week.

Designed to put HD voice in the spotlight, Ixia (News - Alert) launched its VoLTE application, which, according to the report, has SIP end point capabilities.


“The demand for high-definition voice and other media-rich features is growing with the number of mobile users and devices accessing the Internet. Operators must be sure that their new LTE (News - Alert) networks can deliver high quality voice services,” said Joe Zeto, senior manager of market development at Ixia, in a statement.

A demonstration is slated for Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) in Spain later this month.

In other news, after the furor of ITEXPO East has calmed, Panasonic took some time to reflect on its involvement.

The SIP Phones provider demoed its KX-UT670 Smart Desk Phone (News - Alert), and, according to TMCnet’s report, it was all the rage.

“ITEXPO was a great experience this year,” Kim Murtagh, product manager of SIP Endpoints for Panasonic told TMCnet. “The exhibit hall was very busy and the Panasonic booth welcomed many attendees. We were excited to have them see the many communications solutions that we are currently offering, including our new KX-UT670 Smart Desk Phone, and ones that we will be introducing in the near future. We were also happy to be represented at the show in so many different ways. Panasonic was in a total of six booths, which included our own those of distribution partners and service providers.”

In other Panasonic news, the UT series of wired SIP phones from Panasonic now incorporates DSP Group’s (News - Alert) VoIP chipset solution.

“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,” said Kim Murtagh in the report.

SIP models that incorporate the VoIP chipset include the KX-UT136-B, KX-UT133-B, KX-UT123-B and KX-UT113-B.

That’s it for this week’s SIP Phones news recap. Have a great weekend and be sure to visit TMCnet’s SIP Phone portal for up to the minute news.
