The new snom 715 phone is interoperable with Schmooze Com’s PBXact phone system and its open-source counterpart, FreePBX.

snom phones can be auto-provisioned via the Schmooze Endpoint Manager, available in both FreePBX and PBXact, which allows for installation and management directly from the PBX Graphical User Interface.

The combination of snom phones and FreePBX and PBXact systems is designed to give customers a complete, end-to-end voice solution. VARs might also appreciate the seamless auto-provisioning and implementation using the Endpoint Manager GUI tool.

“snom is committed to interoperability with the broadest range of SIP-based platforms and is pleased to have completed certification with Schmooze Com’s on-premise and hosted solutions,” said Mike Storella, VP of snom Americas. “The ease of deployment and auto-provisioning via Schmooze’s Manager is a real plus for both VARs and end customers looking for a simplified IP telephony deployment.”

The snom 715 is the company’s latest phone to pass interoperability testing for Schmooze. In 2012, the entire snom 3xx line, snom 7xx line, the snom 821 and the snom M9 wireless phone were approved for the platforms.
