Businesses face a number of challenges and one of the most powerful tools to overcome these, communication, is very often the most neglected. One of the primary reasons is that in the past the costs have been exorbitant and the technology hidden behind proprietary secrecy.

Connection Telecom is a technology partner to a wide variety of resellers and partners, and through a combination of getting open-source PBX/VoIP applications, commercial software and hardware to interact, we deliver next generation communications and business application solutions.

SNOM IP Phones

With the VoIP telephones snom 370, snom 360, snom 320 and snom 300 you are choosing the optimum level of functionality and comfort currently offered by VoIP in terms of quality, security, and equipment.

In addition to the common standards, the Linux-based SIP telephones support the most modern technologies such as STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs), NAT (Network Address Translation) and ENUM (telephone number mapping).

Due to the two VoIP security standards SIPS (RFC2246) and SRTP (RFC3711), from now on potential eavesdroppers of conversations between your snom telephones and other compatible terminals don't stand a chance.

You will also have decisive benefits through high interoperability. The combination with numerous devices of other established manufacturers such as Cisco, Siemens or Microsoft Messenger guarantees you the greatest possible independence.
