PC Panasonic Corp.

Panasonic System Networks Company of America, the leader in business and home telephone systems, today announced that Brekeke Software has certified the Panasonic line of SIP Cordless Phone Systems, the KX-TGP500 and KX-TGP550, for use with their hosted telephony platform. This alliance solidifies Panasonic's global leadership in the DECT cordless telephone market as well as Brekeke's SIP-hosted telephony platform which provides true multi-tenancy under one server.

The Panasonic SIP Cordless Phone Systems are ideal for both home office and business environments, boasting outstanding voice quality and a range of productivity-boosting options in feature-rich desk phone replacements. In addition, DECT 6.0 handsets ensure no interference with wireless networks and a convenient cordless design eliminates the need to run dedicated network wiring to each employee workstation.

"Service providers that utilize Brekeke telephony platform products can now offer stable and affordable wireless SIP phones to their business users," says Shin Yamade, CEO of Brekeke Software. "We were very pleased to confirm such feature as SCA (Shared Call Appearance) and BLF (Busy Lamp Field) with these Panasonic phones, which will allow our business users to monitor line availability and confirm presence status of colleagues by just glancing at the phone."

With flexible configuration options, it has never been easier to deploy and expand a SIP-based phone system with Brekeke's hosted telephony platform. Handsets can be easily added wherever needed; all that is required is a nearby electrical outlet. The reduced hardware costs and simplicity of routing calls over an Internet connection can add up to huge savings on monthly telephone bills, thus enabling home office or business environments to take advantage of a larger variety of business-class features such as call forwarding, intercom and conferencing, voicemail and many more.
