Zoom Begins Shipping New VoIP Analog Telephone Adapters
12 February 2006 Zoom Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZOOM) announcedtoday the expansion of its Voice over the Internet (VoIP) hardware linewith the shipment of two new analog telephone adapters, models 5801 and5806. Both models include an FXS port for plugging in one or moreconventional telephones. The Model 5801 also includes the TelePort™, aspecial FXO (phone line) port with powerful call-routing capabilities thatinclude directing certain outbound calls to the FXO port to provide serviceproviders with maximum compliance with the FCC E911 directive.
"Zoom's new ATAs are focused squarely on the needs of Internet TelephoneService providers and their customers, with excellent performance at anextremely competitive price," said Frank Manning, President of ZoomTechnologies. "In addition, Model 5801's TelePort feature opens up newmarkets to service providers with an easily implemented solution to E911.Our new ATAs are also designed for integrators of SIP-based PBX systems,including the popular Asterisk™ IP PBX."
Zoom provides a powerful, flexible configuration capability that lets aservice provider use a web server to initially configure devices byplugging them into his network, and to remotely manage devices by pushingconfiguration files from his server. The service provider can choose toautomatically push some or all firmware upgrades to users of the devices.The service provider controls the entire process using his server and toolssupplied free by Zoom. For details, service providers should contact Zoomat sales@zoom.com or visit our ISP partner area at:http://www.zoom.com/partners/isp.html.
Both models feature easy installation, excellent voice quality, SIPcompatibility, and support for a wide range of voice codecs includingG.711, G.729B, and iLBC. Both models support a rich variety of advancedtelephone services including Call Waiting, Caller Identification, CallTransfer, Call Hold, Call forwarding, Distinctive Ringing, and VoiceMessage Waiting Indication.

The TelePort feature on the 5801 can connect the FXO port to a localtelephone or bridge to a voice call over the Internet. Calls coming intothe FXO port can ring the FXS-connected telephone or trigger a call-waitingsignal when the phones are in use. In another mode, Model 5801 can answerappropriate incoming calls, request an optional password, and then routethose calls over the Internet to enable free or low-cost calls using VoIP.
Outbound calls dialed by local phones connected to the Model 5801 arerouted as directed by the service provider or end-user. For instance, the5801 can route all 911 and emergency alarm calls out the FXO port whilerouting all other calls over the Internet with VoIP. Alternately, localcalls and/or other calls can also be routed out the FXO port based on theinitial digits dialed, allowing VoIP service providers to select the typeof traffic they service. Routing of calls is handled by the 5801'sintuitive Web-based interface.
Model 5801 is ideal for compliance to the FCC E911 directive for any U.S.customer who has a phone line that can be used for voice calls, includingnearly every ADSL user. When a user dials 911, the TelePort's "smartswitch" can automatically route the call over the customer's phone line asif the user's phone was plugged directly into the phone line. The TelePortprovides reliable emergency dialing and FCC compliance even if a VoIPprovider does not have an Internet-based means of connecting a customer toEnhanced 911 services. Because of this, the TelePort allows a serviceprovider to expand his market to the entire US. TelePort also routes 911and other calls through the FXO port in the event of a power outage.
Model 5801 can automatically check whether a 5801 is connected to a phoneline with dial tone, and can notify a service provider at appropriate timesset by the service provider. The service provider can use this informationto confirm FCC compliance or to take appropriate measures if a customer's5801 is not connected to a working phone line. For instance, the serviceprovider can send an email to that customer or even disconnect thatcustomer's service. The goal is to maximize the chance that an emergencycall is handled properly, and that the service provider is in compliancewith government regulations.
