VoIP for Apartments, Hospitality, Campuses
First announced 1 year ago (https://www.patton.com/press/Patton-Announces-the-Industrys-Most-Flexible-High-Density-FXS-VoIP-Gateway), the SN4740 is designed to enable unified communications (UC), SIP trunking, and IP telephony for hotels, motels, MTU/MDU or campus environments using analog phones.

"We are honored to accept this prestigious award," said Robert R. Patton (Bobby) (https://www.patton.com/company/bios/view.asp?id=1), CEO. "Analog VoIP is a story within a story."

Bobby elaborates:  "As the ALL-IP revolution unfolds, legacy analog equipment is still business-critical for many. Patton is committed to supporting their needs. We've been doing business for over forty years, so we understand the requirements of those organizations."

Six Miles!
Remarkably, the SN4740 can extend 128 FXS lines up to six miles or more while converting the analog voice from existing legacy handsets into a packetized data stream for transmission over the Internet using a SIP-Trunk service.

Message Waiting…
The SN4740 provides Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) support, which is essential for hotels, motels, multi-tenant-units and multi-dwelling-units (MTU/MDU) and similar business operations. In today's ALL-IP telephony market, such legacy capabilities are exceptional.

"Congratulations to Patton for earning yet another Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award," said Rich Tehrani (http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/rich-tehrani/), CEO, TMC. "As the UC revolution takes hold, the SmartNode SN4740 is an essential solution for countless businesses."
