Development

xSIP (eXtended SIP) protocol has been developed by Telesis. The main purpose of its development is to make some value-added services in Telesis systems to be applicable for VoIP calls too. Presently, Telesis offers two products with xSIP protocol. One is the ITS821 IP Phone, and the other is the XPhone IP Softphone. Both products bring the comfort of Telesis digital sets over IP. Almost all the functions of Telesis digital telephones are also applicable over IP. To illustrate, ITS821 and XPhone are with a busy display panel showing the current status (idle, busy, ringing, etc.) of 120 pre-programmed users in a Telesis Hybrid IP PBX.
