SIP Phones From Siemens

Al Baker, US Vice President Product and Service Management and Martin Northend, Director of Portfolio Marketing for Small and Medium enterprise, both from Siemens Communications joined me on the Lippis Report to discuss SIP phones.  Siemens just launched its OpenStage SIP phones which interoperate with BroadSoft and Cilantro Softswitches.  These SIP phones allow Service Providers to offer hosted IP services based upon their existing softswitch investments to the small to medium sized business market.  The phones are sleek with i-pod like control, mobile phone directory services, large screen size and XML development environment.  You can download the Siemens presentation here.  This is the first SIP phone offering that is not linked to an equipment supplier's SIP proxy allowing a degree of freedom we have not seen in the industry thus far.  Enjoy, Nick
