snom announced the latest addition to its line of IP business phones, the snom 370. The snom 370 will provide users with the flexibility and features needed to maximize productivity and efficiency in a business environment. Larger display, expanded memory and VPN access offer business users a simple and secure way to manage calls.

“The high quality, security and customization that snom provides is very attractive to business users,” said Michael Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for snom. “With the addition of the 370 to our line of SIP-based IP business phones, snom is able to provide a business-class phone with a rich feature set at a fraction of the cost of the other VoIP phones on the market today.”

The snom 370 features a larger display area with built in greyscales to provide users with a clearer view and allow for more information on the screen. The expanded memory capacity enables the phone to support more applications, such as presence indication and presence displays of other users. The phone will also provide users with the ability to customize the display by depicting graphics and high resolution pictures to show the status of contacts. The snom 370 can support several audio devices simultaneously such as the handset, headset and loudspeaker. The multicast paging mode makes it possible to use the phone for large scale public announcements.

With the addition of a new provisioning mechanism, the 370 allows for the dropping of configuration files and software loads into a file system, simplifying configuration and management for administrators. Updated security features include direct access to a VPN in order to secure communication to an insecure PBX system.

The MSRP of the snom 370 is $280 USD and will be available for purchase in April 2007. snom telephones support all common standards, as well as the latest technology platforms. All snom phones are compatible with SIP-based telephone systems and system components including open source platforms as well as proprietary solutions.
