Sangoma, a leading provider of VoIP Gateways and Asterisk Cards, have announced the release of the Sangoma Network Appliance Provisioning (SNAP) Tool that simplifies the deployment and provisioning of TDM-to-IP gateways deployed by SIP trunking providers. Employing standard configuration profiles developed for each supported network provider, SNAP enables the provisioning and configuration of a Sangoma Vega Gateway in less than two minutes. The SNAP Tool makes it easy for service providers and their channel partners to deliver all of the advantages of SIP trunking to businesses that want to continue using existing TDM-based phone systems,” said Jeff Dworkin, director of marketing for Sangoma. “A number of regional and national SIP trunking providers have already taken advantage of the SNAP Tool to help ensure fast and efficient turn-up of new customers on their SIP networks.” An easy-to-use web-based application, the SNAP Tool guides the user through a simple process to select the appropriate service provider, Vega gateway model, and configuration using the service provider’s product nomenclature. Depending on the provider’s requirements, the user then enters between three and six credentials, and the tool returns a configuration file that can be uploaded to the Vega gateway. And all of this is easily done without specialized training or accessing the command line interface of the gateway.  The SNAP Tool currently supports the full Vega Gateway Series, which includes the Vega 50, the Vega 100, the Vega 200, the Vega 400 and...
