There is talk at the highest levels of telecom of when to unplug today’s public switched telecom network (PSTN)for the final move to an all-IP global network. But that cannot happen unless and until the vast installed base of fax terminals can continue to reliably send and receive fax in real time as is done today. And, after extensive testing by the SIP Forum, an association, primarily, of equipment vendors, and the i3 Forum, comprised of nearly 40 of the world’s largest telecom carriers, fax-over-IP (FoIP) in international calls is not reliable enough to support the coming transition. 

Today, we are talking with Mike Coffee, CEO of Commetrex Corporation Alpharetta, GA, a supplier of FoIP technologies to the industry and the co-chair of the SIP Forum’s FoIP Task Group, about what is being done to make FoIP ready for the coming PSTN-to-IP transition.

By adding the Smartsoft team, Mobiquity has established the company’s operations in the Southeast, providing a hub for customer engagement in the region. The new office will be led by former Smartsoft CEO Dan Homrich and will include key Smartsoft employees, who are specialists in building and deploying mobile applications for SAP. Smartsoft Mobile Solutions has been named one of the top 40 most innovative companies in Georgia by the Technology Association of Georgia. With deep experience developing for both B2B and B2C markets, the Smartsoft Mobile team has built more than 50 mobile solutions since 2009, including apps for The Home Depot, Hobby Lobby, Haverty’s Furniture, McKesson, IHG and The Weather Channel. Many are available to consumers through various app stores. This move enables Mobiquity to deliver even more comprehensive SAP-based mobile solutions by bringing together the company’s proven expertise in mobile innovation and user experience with Smartsoft’s proven skills developing and deploying mobile applications for SAP. Both companies are currently SAP partners. “The combination of talent and experience that this represents will create a development powerhouse for SAP and its customers,” said Dan Homrich. “We’re pleased to be part of such a visionary organization that is growing so fast. This is a case where the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.” According to Mobiquity Founder and CEO Bill Seibel, “This move brings on board the best mobility talent in the Southeast. Dan and his team share our philosophy of delivering outstanding solutions to our customers and combining forces will enable us to rapidly scale work with SAP, better serving our growing customer base in the Southeast and across the country.” This announcement follows closely on the heels of news that Mobiquity has further expanded its leadership team both in the Northeast and the Southeast, growing to 140 employees and profitability in just 15 months.
