snom, a developer and manufacturer of IP phones, has developed a new audio device that will allow SIP-based VoIP telephones to be used as an extension of any public address system.

Snom Technology is to unveil the world's first touchscreen VoIP handset at this year's CeBIT tradeshow.
Called the snom 870, the German VoIP telephone maker said the device has an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

The VoIP phone maker and developer Snom Technology is opening an office in Milan.
In what could be a barometer of the current state of Europe's economies, the German company ruled out a move to the UK.
Heike Cantzler, marketing manager for Snom Technology, said both the UK and Italy were considered for the expansion.
