Did you hear about the latest announcement from our partners at Snom and 3CX? On April 14th, 2021 they rolled out a standardized template for the 3CX platform. This new template completely eliminates the need for customization and making your deployment of Snom’s D7xx phones that much easier!
As a Titanium Partner for 3CX and Distributor of Snom we couldn’t be more pleased about this! We love seeing our partners work together to create solutions like this for our customers. This new update was implemented and engineered extremely well. They even added an automatic update to 10.1.64.17 to the provisioning process to help make the process even faster!
If you are interested in implementing the new template, follow the steps below!
For more details about this update and to see all of the great features it will add, see the press release!

Have you considered the benefits of a Satellite Speaker for your next paging solution? Our partners at ALGO have launched two new speakers that provide you with all of the added benefits of a traditional IP Paging solution but with fewer network drops!
The ALGO 8198 IP Speaker and 1198 Satellite Speaker look identical but it’s what’s on the inside that makes these two different (awww cute right?). But what’s really cool is these two speakers work together as a team. IP paging gives you the ability to supervise your speakers, which is really important in any IP paging solution. ALGO designed the 8198 IP Speaker to automatically detect each 1198 Satellite Speaker that you deploy!
This new solution from ALGO can help reduce the number of network cable drops by 75% as well as reduce the amount of time it takes to install them.
Ok, so let’s get to the reason why we are here! Check out this awesome unboxing video with Brian Hyrek.
If you are looking for other compatible products that might be a good add on with these speakers check out the ALGO 1202, ALGO 1203 and the ALGO 1204.

Is your communication system compliant with STIR/SHAKEN standards? Every year, around 60% of claims handled by the FCC relate to illegal robocalls and spoofing. The massive amount of fraudulent robocalls can harm service provider’s reputation and create a lack of trust in communications.
STIR (Secure Telephony Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Secure Handling of Asserted Information Using Tokens) are new technology standards created by FCC (Federal Communications Commission) to ensure that calling numbers are not spoofed, reducing fraudulent activity.
Check out this video to learn more about STIR/SHAKEN standards:
The STIR/SHAKEN standards use digital certificates from the service carriers to assure call recipients that a caller ID has been altered. The TRACED Act, the first federal law established to curb robocalls, was passed in December 2019.
Therefore now all service providers are required to implement STIR/SHAKEN call authentication and robocall mitigation measures by June 2021.
