Fonality wins 2005 Product of the Year from Internet Telephony

PBXtra named best new IP PBX by Internet Telephony Magazine

Los Angeles, CA - Fonality®, the leader in affordable IP PBX systems for small businesses, announced today that TMC's INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine has named the PBXtra IP PBX as a recipient of a 2005 Product of the Year Award.

"We are thrilled that INTERNET TELEPHONY has recognized PBXtra as a leader in the Open Source telephony movement." said Chris Lyman, Fonality's founder and CEO. "This award, combined with our staggering growth in 2005, proves that there is a huge unmet need for powerful small business phone systems. We plan to continue aggressively meeting that need in 2006."

PBXtra is an IP-PBX that delivers enterprise-class capabilities to small businesses for only $995, including the server. Providing the least expensive option available, PBXtra often saves companies up to 80 percent of what they are used to paying for PBX functionality. PBXtra combines the features that companies expect from an enterprise-class PBX system, such as powerful call handling, telecommuting, branch-office support, VoIP/PSTN capacity, and unified messaging. It also includes new features not found in any PBX solution at such an affordable price including: click and call from your PC, 4-digit dialing, Microsoft Outlook integration, CRM and web browser integration, MP3-based music on hold, unlimited extensions, unlimited voicemail, hybrid of VoIP and PSTN, support for IP and analog phones, and automatic desktop notification of callers. PBXtra is configurable from anywhere on the web, easy to set up and administer, and allows mobile workers to use remote phones and softphones on the road as easily as if they were in the office.

"Each year INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. Fonality has demonstrated to the editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY that its products or services are committed to quality and innovation while addressing the real needs in the marketplace," said Rich Tehrani, group publisher and editor-in-chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.

The Product of the Year Award winners for 2005 will be highlighted in the January and February 2006 issues of INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
