Iristel Inc., a leading Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services provider, and snom technology AG, a leading developer of IP desktop phones and IP communications software, announced today that the snom 3xx and snom 8xx series desktop phones, as well as the snom m9 DECT phone and MeetingPoint conference phone, have passed rigorous interoperability tests, qualifying snom endpoints as preferred devices for operation within the Iristel network.
The combination of snom endpoints, network services and infrastructure products and Iristel's Hosted PBX (private branch exchange) Solution offers Iristel customers a fully integrated IP telephony solution with high definition (HD) audio capabilities and VoIP functionality for both large and small business environments, and residential scenarios.
"Iristel is a leader in HD VoIP. We were the first to launch a HD VoIP service in Canada, back in 2007, and today we remain committed to offering the highest quality of voice communications services for customers around the world," says Samer Bishay, Iristel CEO. "snom is an industry leader, and adding their high-quality and cost-effective phones and equipment to the growing list of Iristel network-compliant vendors opens up new opportunities for businesses and consumers to benefit from the latest in VoIP technology."

By ensuring its network is compatible with key IP telephony solutions, Iristel delivers a standards-based platform that enables customers - especially SMBs - to economically and efficiently migrate to new technologies without immediately abandoning investments made in their existing IP infrastructure.
"We have built all of snom's products with an eye towards interoperability with any SIP-based environment," says Michael Storella, Chief Operating Officer for snom technology. "We are pleased and honored to have our products certified by Iristel, one the leading CLECs in Canada, and we hope to continue our work with them in an effort to bring their customers the best possible VoIP experience."

All built with open SIP firmware allowing for simple installation, industry-wide interoperability and crystal-clear sound quality.
