VoSKY announces that its PBX-to-Skype for SIP Gateway, the VoSKY SSG, is the industry’s first gateway to be certified as interoperable with Skype for SIP. Skype for SIP interoperability with the new VoSKY SSG will enable small- and medium-sized businesses to connect their legacy PBX and Key systems to Skype. This way, SMBs can maximize the functionality of their current communications system to reduce communications costs, while also enhancing their business communications by enabling over 520 million Skype registered users to call their organization for free over Skype.

The VoSKY SSG is available in two versions, supporting either 4 or 8 channels. It offers seamless integration with Skype for SIP Open Beta with any analog PBX or key system, connecting via a conventional analog port. It allows businesses to take advantage of Skype’s cost savings and enhanced business features without restructuring their existing communications network and infrastructure.

The VoSKY SSG also allows businesses using the Skype for SIP Open Beta to place click-to-call buttons on their corporate Web site. These click-to-call buttons enable customers using Skype to call the business directly for free with just one click. Having received a call via a click-to-call button, the VoSKY SSG directs this inbound call to the company’s legacy PBX system for it to be routed to the intended recipient.
