IP business phone featuring VPN security

snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of Voice-over-IP (VoIP) telephones, today announced the availability of its recently launched IP business phone, the snom 370. Now shipping through authorized distributors, the snom 370 IP phone features advanced VPN security measures that provide complete voice traffic protection.

The snom 370 increases VoIP security by acting as a VPN client – enabling encrypted tunnels for all voice traffic between the snom phones and the company IP PBX. The new VPN feature also eliminates all Network Address Translation (NAT)-traversal issues often experienced with Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). For example, with the snom 370 functioning as a VPN, remote devices are easily integrated into an office network without the need of a NAT traversal solution. This enhancement is particularly valuable for security-sensitive installations, such as those involving public safety, as it is now possible to have all snom 370 phones on the LAN use VPN technology.

The MSRP of the snom 370 is $299 USD.
