Snom teams with 3CX for 'comprehensive VoIP solution'

Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) phone manufacturer snom has announced a strategic partnership with internet protocol private branch exchange (IP PBX) software provider 3XC that will provide businesses with a "reliable and affordable" VoIP service.

The companies have announced that interoperability testing for their products is now complete, meaning businesses can use either snom's VoIP phones or 3CX's IP PBX software knowing that they are fully supported by both vendors.
