AudioCodes, Cisco, Dialogic, NEC, Network Equipment Technologies, and Quintum are all offering pre-tested SIP gateways. Nortel is offering a SIP Gateway and an IP-PBX that can be paired with Office Communicator.

LG-Nortel (IP phones, Bluetooth headsets), Polycom (IP and USB phones, speakerphone), GN Netcom (USB headsets), Plantronics (USB headsets) and Samsung (LCD Monitor with microphone/speakers) are providing voice end-points for the platform.
