Press Release

Following successful trials which started in Barbados during June 2000.  Islandfax are pleased to announce the Fax over IP service is now live and can offer clients over 30% saving on fax transmission costs.

Extensive testing of software and data communication providers was undertaken prior to implementing the international fax solution.

Islandfax’s system utilizes the Internet to transport international faxes from the country of origin to the destination country. Islandfax’s service relies on a store-and-forward process  bypassing the local telephone company and the traditional point-to-point telephone system for international calls and resulting in savings on the cost of international transmissions.

The sender and receiver of the fax, which is encrypted for security purposes, continue to use their fax machine as they always have. Typical delay time for a two-page fax from origination to delivery is less than three minutes.

Client response has been positive and Islandfax expects to have over 200 clients in Barbados by June 2001. Islandfax intends supplying the Fax over the Internet service to other islands in the Caribbean.
