WHAT IS ETHERFAX
Your entire telephony infrastructure (and all of the headache and expense associated with such) is reduced to nothing more than this:
“If you can Google… you can etherFAX”
By eliminating the need for costly components of a fax server, fax board, media gateways, and recurring telephony costs, the company’s namesake solution leverages the Internet to manage all business-critical fax communications.
With etherFAX, expensive fax hardware, complex fault tolerance designs, and costly disaster recovery solutions are no longer needed. Additionally, etherFAX eliminates the complexities and costs of provisioning SIP, T.38, PRI, T1, and/or analog connections. By simply connecting on premise fax server infrastructure to etherFAX, all fax communications are securely delivered via the cloud.
etherFAX is the fax board in the cloud, capable of processing billions of faxes each month.
