Mediatrix VoIP residential gateways route calls over the IP network while directing emergency calls through the PSTN network. In the event of a power failure or network outage, all calls automatically fall back to the PSTN network, thus ensuring home users have access at all times to 911 lifeline support.<br \/><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">\u201cWith its reliable patented solution addressing 911 issues and fully compliant with the recent CRTC\u2019s decision, Mediatrix sets itself apart from other VoIP vendors\u201d commented Mr. Robert Comeau, CEO of Mediatrix. \u201cWe have been amongst the first ones to identify and meet the need for a VoIP service that would allow users to access 911 lifeline support. Our patented technology answers these safety requirements and our Mediatrix Residential VoIP gateways have proved to be very successful, as they have been widely deployed by leading service providers around the world. Not only are they reliable, but their genuine plug &amp; play features greatly facilitate installation and maintenance, and they offer unparalleled quality of voice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is this new patented product from Mediatrix, a must-have product for all Canadian VoIP providers.
