Pingtel Sells Desktop Phone Line, Focuses on Open Source Model

As part of its strategic transition to an open source subscription business model, Pingtel Corp. completed the sale of its xpressa desktop phone product line. The buyer was not named and financial details were not disclosed. Pingtel is now a software-only business. The company said this approach enables enterprise customers to select best-of-breed, off-the-shelf phones and components for use with its SIPxchange family of PBX and application routing engines.



Pingtel's enterprise communications suite includes the SIPxchange PBX, including unified messaging, SIPxchange CallManager, providing enterprise level application routing, and SIP softphones. SIPxchange software runs on standard PC server hardware and uses the Linux operating system. http://www.pingtel.com
