Two transports, one decision engine

TDM and SIP — and the intelligence to choose.

Most cloud fax vendors run a single transport and hope for the best. We run both, and pick the path most likely to succeed for each destination. Faster, more reliable fax delivery gives you the power to succeed.

Transport · TDM

Rock-solid by design.

We maintain the largest TDM fax network in the world — dedicated circuits with effectively unlimited bandwidth and none of the packet loss or timing disruptions that break fax over IP.

  • Continuous, perfectly-timed circuits — no packets to drop, no timing gaps to corrupt a page
  • Effectively unlimited bandwidth pushes faxes through faster and more reliably
  • The faxes other networks abandon, ours completes
  • Expensive legacy infrastructure we've invested in for decades — so you don't have to
Transport · SIP

Built to scale, tuned to win.

Our SIP network adds elastic capacity that scales instantly — and unlike the rest of the industry, we never throttle it.

  • Scales up the moment your volume does — no provisioning lead time
  • Fully digital routes that connect even faster when the receiving end supports them
  • No baud-rate caps — full transmission speed, every time
  • The reach and elasticity of IP, engineered to fax-grade reliability
AI

We don't force every fax down one path. For each recipient, our routing engine selects TDM or SIP — and the specific carrier route — based on 26 years of historical success data. The fax takes the path most likely to land.

We own the network

We own the entire network — so every fax is routed for your success, not our bottom line.

Completion rates don't vary by accident. Cheaper providers shove fax through least-cost-routing wholesale gateways that mangle transmissions to protect their own costs. We do the opposite.

Owned & operated

One network, under our control

Because we own and operate the entire network, the moment something needs attention we handle it ourselves — instead of waiting in a wholesaler's ticket queue.

Direct interconnects

Connected as a carrier

Direct carrier interconnects mean fewer hops, cleaner signaling, and fax-grade quality on the path — not a chain of resold gateways between you and the recipient.

No least-cost routing

We never degrade your faxes to save money

We route every fax for the highest chance of completion — never down the cheapest path that quietly costs you a delivery. Your success is the routing objective, not our cost.

Faster — both directions

Send and receive faster than anyone in the business.

Speed isn't a vanity metric in fax — it decides whether a page lands at all, and in healthcare, faster patient data access allows you to provide better care. We move faxes faster in both directions: out the door and into your hands.

Typical capped provider9,600
Throttled — slower transmissions, more failures, more re-bills
WestFax Transport33,600
Full G3 / V.34 super-G3 — uncapped, every fax

Faster transmissions complete more often.

Many cloud fax providers cap transmissions at 9,600 baud. We run all the way up to full Group 3 and V.34 super-G3 speeds of 33,600 baud.

The result compounds: faxes spend less time on the line, so more of them complete, and larger, more complex documents get through that would otherwise time out and fail.

It also protects your bill. Failure-prone, throttled transmission means more faxes that don't land cleanly — and across millions of pages, more failures means more wasted spend and more retries. By completing more faxes on the first attempt at full speed, we drive your real cost per delivered fax down.

Faster patient data access allows you to provide better care.

When referrals, results, and records move faster, your clinicians have what they need sooner — and patients get care without waiting on paperwork. Because we pull inbound faxes in and push your responses out faster than slower networks, the right information reaches the right hands at the right moment.

01 / ROUTING

AI-optimized routing from real transmission history.

Over 26 years, we've delivered faxes to virtually every medical recipient in the United States — and learned exactly how to reach each one. Our routing model draws on that delivery history to choose the carrier route and the transport — TDM or SIP — most likely to succeed for every destination. Every delivery makes the next one smarter.

Retry logic you control.

A fax that fails once isn't a fax that failed. Customize retry counts, intervals, and timing to match exactly how each workflow should behave — persistent when it matters, patient when it doesn't. You set the rules and we make them happen. We give you the power to decide.

03 / ENGINEERING

Engineered for the hardest faxes.

The transport network is our core competency — not a feature bolted onto a SaaS app. We've fine-tuned it over 26 years with deep redundancy at every layer, and we've invested in more expensive legacy TDM technology that competitors walked away from. Our customers get the benefit: the highest completion rates in the industry, even on the long, dense, complex documents that break other networks.

Why reliability is everything

Behind every fax is a patient who can't wait.

A delayed referral is a delayed diagnosis. A dropped result is a patient left waiting. Timely, completed faxes don't just move paper — they move care forward, and sometimes they save a life. That's the standard we understand, and hold our network to, every page, every day.

Getting every fax there, every time, is how we've earned trust with our clients.

Built for scale, always on

Pour your volume on. The network won't flinch.

A backbone has to do more than complete one fax — it has to absorb your peaks, stay up through anything, and reach every destination. Ours is engineered for all three.

Throughput

High sustained throughput

High sustained pages-per-minute and deep concurrency, so heavy automated traffic flows without queuing up behind itself.

Burst capacity

Absorbs your spikes

Monday-morning surges and end-of-day batch dumps get absorbed, not throttled — latency stays predictable even when your volume isn't.

Dedicated lanes

Optional traffic isolation

For the largest volumes, dedicated capacity keeps your traffic in its own lane — so a surge elsewhere on the network never becomes your problem.

Redundancy & failover

Automatic rerouting

Redundant carrier paths and geographic redundancy back the 99.999% SLA. If a route degrades mid-flight, the fax reroutes — you never see it.

Inbound at scale

Receive as reliably as you send

Inbound is half the job for a platform. High DID density and reliable inbound delivery mean the faxes coming to you land as dependably as the ones going out.

Coverage & reach

Every destination, including the hard ones

Full US reach — including the rural and hard-to-reach exchanges where weaker networks quietly fail — plus international coverage where you need it.

Number porting, done by carriers

Move thousands of numbers, without the migration stalling.

High-volume fax means porting at scale — and porting is exactly where most migrations bog down. We're built to make it the part you stop worrying about.

Dedicated team

Years of porting experience

A dedicated porting team that does this every day, at the volume carriers actually port — so even large, messy ports are routine instead of a first attempt.

Carrier authority

We port as an FCC-licensed carrier

We submit port requests to the losing carrier as a carrier — not as a "winning fax company." That authority carries more weight and clears ports more cleanly.

Visibility

High visibility into every request

Deep visibility into port-request status means fewer surprises, faster diagnosis when something stalls, and a clear, honest picture of where every number stands.

Support

Straight talk on the hard ones

A support team that walks you through difficult ports and gives you honest timelines and expectations — realistic dates that hold, not optimistic ones that slip.

Built for high-volume API traffic

When the network is the product.

For teams putting serious page volume on our API, three things matter: the transport network, the API, and the price. We're engineered to win on all three.

01Transport

The most reliable path, every time

Dual TDM + SIP transport, uncapped speed, and AI routing mean more of your faxes land on the first attempt — including the hard ones.

02API

Drop your volume on, scale instantly

A clean, high-throughput API designed for heavy automated traffic, with elastic SIP capacity that scales the moment your volume does.

03Price

Lower real cost per delivered fax

Because more faxes complete the first time and porting is carrier-grade, your true cost per delivered fax comes out lower — fewer failed attempts means less wasted spend across millions of pages.
