BroadSoft and Fonality have certified their products to be compatible, enabling service providers to market and deploy Fonality to their small- and medium-size business (SMB) customers.

BroadSoft has completed certification of Fonality’s trixbox Pro and PBXtra products with BroadWorks, BroadSoft’s VoIP application platform for fixed line and wireless service providers. BroadSoft has also joined the Fonality Authorized Certified Ecosystem (FACE).

BroadWorks offers a range of carrier-grade applications that include hosted PBX, unified communications (UC), mobile PBX, business trunking and residential broadband. Fonality products include a family of open-source-based, hybrid-hosted IP PBX offerings tailored for SMBs.

By certifying the products together, the companies can offer service providers a complete line of hosted and premise-based UC offerings for customers of all sizes, the companies said.

“BroadSoft is the dominant VoIP platform deployed by service providers and MSOs,” said Chris Vuillaume, VP of business development and channels at Fonality. “Their certification is an important stamp of approval for Fonality products and expands our market opportunity to include Tier 1 and Tier 2 providers.”
