This Program helps to facilitate innovation and growth between Syn-Apps and IoT hardware manufacturers while providing mutual customers with the freedom of choice. “We are pleased to welcome Valcom to the Certified Endpoint Program. While we have been partners for many years, Valcom’s decision to embrace certified interoperability and testing demonstrates their commitment to serving our joint customers and the notification industry at large.

Manufacturers participate in the program by integrating Syn-Apps’ API and testing their hardware for interoperability with SA-Announce.
