VOIPo and Grandstream Team Up to Provide Low Cost VoIP for SOHO and Residential Customers Migrating to VoIP While Using Analog CPE Equipment

BROOKLINE, MA, May 15, 2013

Grandstream Networks, the leading manufacturer of IP voice/video telephony and IP video surveillance solutions, today announced that U.S-based provider of low-cost communications services, VOIPo, has certified compatibility with Grandstream HandyTone (HT) analog telephone adapters (ATAs). VOIPo is exclusively bundling Grandstream ATAs to new VOIPo residential and SOHO customers to allow them continued use of their existing analog telephones on VOIPo's state-of-the-art network. To date, there are tens of thousands of Grandstream HandyTone phone adapters deployed to residential and SOHO customers throughout the U.S. Additionally, VOIPo will market the GXP1405 2-line, 2 SIP account business telephone for customers needing a feature-rich IP phone at an affordable cost with its Hosted PBX services.

According to VOIPo Founder Timothy Dick, "Grandstream has been a great partner for many years and we're excited to further solidify our relationship by certifying additional Grandstream device models for use on our network so that we offer a more diverse line of equipment for use with our service."

VOIPo has certified several Grandstream SIP-based analog adapter models for use on its network including the HT701, HT702 and HT502. This will allow customers using VOIPo's new SIP Origination and Termination offering to choose a Grandstream ATA that fit their individualized needs.

VOIPo's flagship residential and SOHO VoIP plan offers unlimited calling within the U.S. and Canada, as well as 60 free minutes of international calling each month for just $6.21/Mo with a 2 year prepayment of $149. The plan also offers a variety of innovative features such as SMS text messaging, advanced call blocking rules, and a free rollover line. This translates to savings over 75% for most consumers when compared to traditional PSTN phone service. Additionally, VOIPo is expanding its services to include Hosted PBX and Enterprise SIP Origination and Termination services.

"Providing reliable VoIP network telephone service requires consistent broadband up-time along with reliable and compatible IP devices such as ATAs and IP phones," said David Li, CEO of Grandstream Networks. "Our award-winning IP products deliver an extensive list of calling features with advanced security as well as easy end user installation to get VoIP service up and running. We thank VOIPo for selecting Grandstream solutions that serve to satisfy their need for easy-to-manage, high-performing and affordable VoIP ATAs."

Grandstream's HT701 (1-port), HT702 (2 FXS port) and HT502 IP ATA (2 FXS port with integrated router) gives residential road warrior users and small businesses VoIP access devices that offer rich telephony functionality, high-level, easy integration, compactness and affordability.
