Expands IP telephony options for businesses

SAN JOSE, Calif. - December 08, 2008

IPEVO, a designer of devices to enhance the Internet experience, today announced its FR-33.1 USB Internet Handset has been certified for use with the Avaya IP Softphone 6.0. Business professionals that use the popular Avaya Softphone system can now experience the design and sound quality of IPEVO’s best selling Internet handset.

The FR-33.1 supports one-touch function keys for call transfer, call holding and conference calls, as well as contact and call history menu navigation. Users can activate the Avaya IP Softphone 6.0 application, as well as dial numbers and answer calls directly from the handset.

In order to obtain Avaya certification, products must pass a comprehensive test plan designed by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab. IPEVO is also a partner in Avaya’s DevConnect program and draws upon its experience in design and development in the IP telephony industry to bring new offerings to market. Being part of the Avaya DevConnect program puts IPEVO in the same ranks of software and hardware developer companies, integrators and service providers that have achieved exceptional standards in the design and development of Internet communication devices.

Furthermore, IPEVO plans to open its API for its hardware devices to allow Internet communications vendors to integrate software with IPEVO’s product line.
