PIKA Enhances Fax Capabilities with V.34 Fax Modem Technology
Enhanced solution delivers significant savings in time, money for large organizations that rely on faxing for key business communications
OTTAWA, March 10 /-- PIKA Technologies Inc., a developer of media-processing hardware and software, has enhanced its T.30 fax solution for its HMP platform by adding high-speed V.34 fax modem technology, which dramatically increases transmission speeds and reduces costs when sending large numbers of faxes.
V.34 is an international fax standard that allows for fax transmission and reception speeds of up to 33.6 kilobits per second (Kbps) and cuts the time it takes to establish handshake. Compared to older standards such as V.17, faxes can be transmitted at least twice as fast. The handshake period is cut by a third, reducing call-setup and session-management times. When multiplied across thousands of faxes, these seconds saved from each transmission, thanks to V.34, can add up to significant savings in time and phone costs.
PIKA's developer customers use fax in numerous telephony applications such as IVRs, fax blasting, fax on demand and also as a feature within IP-PBXs and Unified Communications platforms. PIKA offers fax to its traditional Computer Telephony Developers in both DSP and HMP board environments, as well as in software-only voice applications using IP only.
For open-source developers of custom telecommunications solutions, this enhancement makes PIKA's T.30 fax the ideal option for providing their customers with a faster, more reliable and cost-effective solution for faxing. This fax capability is available to developers using both PIKA's high- and low-level application programming interfaces (APIs).
"With the V.34 standard becoming more commonplace, PIKA realized the importance of adding this enhancement to our existing fax solution," said Terry Atwood, PIKA's vice president of sales, marketing and customer care. "Developers who work with PIKA have already realized the benefits of being able to provide a faster and more cost-effective solution for large enterprises that rely on faxed communications."
