Culpeper, VA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/03/2012 -- EtherSpeak, Inc. an industry leading provider for IP Communications-as-a-Service announced that its SureTrunk for ShoreTel SIP trunking solution has successfully passed the ShoreTel Version 13 Validation testing process.

"We are very excited about ShoreTel version 13, where we believe ShoreTel has hit the bulls-eye for SIP connected customers," commented Neil Darling, CEO, at EtherSpeak. "This release helps EtherSpeak continue to bring ShoreTel customers closer to the cloud natively for SIP Trunking, while providing great value for the customer, and strong feature parity with legacy PRI implementations."

As part of the ShoreTel Innovation Network program, EtherSpeak tested their SureTrunk for ShoreTel native SIP trunks to verify compatibility, feature-functionality and ease of use with ShoreTel 13 and select ShoreTel appliances including the ShoreTel Mobility Router and ShoreTel Conference units and SSL VPN appliances. ShoreTel 13 is the latest release of the ShoreTel IP PBX software, allowing customers to benefit from new enhanced features and functionality, which provides near-parity with expensive legacy PRI and POTs options.

The EtherSpeak integration with ShoreTel 13 is actively in use by customers, as evidenced by Ryland Marshall from Brightstack, a Managed Services Company who used EtherSpeak's SureTrunk for ShoreTel solution as a redundancy for a client whose dial tone provider experienced a 5 day outage. Commenting on the integration, Ryland states, "I contacted Etherspeak and within an hour we had the SureTrunks moved from our location to the client's location. We then had the provider forward the company's lead number to the SIP trunks. On Monday morning the company was able to operate as if there had never been an outage." Ryland continued to explain that during the 5 days, the client was able to successfully receive and make calls. "We are excited to have an easy option that rivals features and functionality as with a PRI – in an hour".

"We are glad to have validated EtherSpeak for the release of version 13, as we believe customers benefit from their unique native offering," states Pejman Roshan, vice president product management, ShoreTel. "As one of the early adaptors of SIP, ShoreTel in conjunction with EtherSpeak's SIP Trunks continues to provide cost-effective options for ShoreTel customers seeking a valuable unified communications experience."

Culpeper, VA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/05/2012 -- When the office telephone system goes down due to circumstances such as weather, construction, power outages or other issue, so does the ability for many businesses to operate.

EtherSpeak, Inc., a leading IP communications provider, announced today a new service called ShadowVox, which provides SIP Trunking customers with an option for a "stand-by" phone system which keeps a business' telephones operational in the event of equipment failures, or local service outages. When activated due to IP PBX system or site failure, EtherSpeak SIP based phone calls may be redirected to customer's iPhone, iPad or Android device with voice, and available options including fax communication, instant messaging, presence and conference bridge features standing-by in the ShadowVox cloud offering. ShadowVox voice backup pricing begins as low as $10 per user per month.

ShadowVox is designed to mirror a company's phone system settings such as user extensions, call groups (like sales, support or accounting) and SIP-based direct dial telephone numbers with the simple installation of a downloadable softphone application that can be installed on each user's PC, Macintosh, or smart phone based mobile device including the iPAD, iPhone or Android OS. ShadowVox will work with almost any on-premise telephone systems including those from ShoreTel, Microsoft Lync, Cisco, Zultys, AllWorx and those that are Asterisk-based platforms.

Unlike many traditional redundancy solutions which are typically overly complicated or expensive, ShadowVox provides EtherSpeak SIP Trunking customers with an option to cost-effectively maintain a cloud-based mirror of the business telephone system settings - providing peace-of-mind for the small business-owner in the event of a business impacting event or outage. When a customer's local Internet connection is lost, ShadowVox processes incoming and outgoing calls using the same settings, configurations and call flow as their original PBX allowing the users to maintain business continuity with any active Internet service, making it possible to maintain business operations.

"We are excited to offer ShadowVox which fills a gap for our customers and partners," states Neil Darling, EtherSpeak's CEO. "Just look at these natural disasters lately, if a client's location or on-premise IP PBX is affected by a local disaster which is outside of the client's control, they would normally have to wait until connectivity was returned to try and repair their lost revenue and relationships. However, EtherSpeak's ShadowVox makes business communications continuity an attainable goal "just-in-case" there is a problem impacting the business."
