Engin joining hands with Intel and HP
Engin is the leading Australian broadband telephone company that has committed itself to providing VoIP technology.
Engin allows any broadband user to make and receive calls using their existing telephone at a very low price. It offers a unique experience to the phone user by giving him a greater ability to control where, when and from whom he receives calls.
Using SIP technology (session initiation protocol) with a Voice Box, your calls are directed through the Internet rather than the plain old telephone system. The Engin Voice Box can be attached to an analog, cordless or DECT telephone, allowing you to make and receive calls as you normally would.
Now Engin is on its way to strike a deal to embed its Softphone technology inside Intel PCI cards that ship with selected HP desktops and notebooks. HP’s Nx and Dx computers will be VoIP-enabled as a result of an agreement between the three companies.
Intel and Engin signed a similar deal with local PC builder Optima in May this year.
Matt Farmer, sales director of Engin said the contract would give the company a broader reach into the SOHO and SMB market.
The Nx and Dx notebooks and PCs are distributed through Ingram Micro, Dicker Data and Cellnet. Synnex will carry the notebooks only.
