3Com has expanded its range of converged communications platforms to deliver a higher degree of reliability, resiliency and ease of management for supporting voice over IP (VoIP) solutions with the new V6000 Integrated Branch Communications platform.
The new solution offers centrally-managed, business continuity applications to ensure that phone service, messaging and system management continue to be available at remote sites in the event of wide area network (WAN) failure, such as one due to a natural disaster.
Key Features:
VCX Release 7.0 software that enables advanced features on the new platform and allows the 3103 Manager Phone, a SIP-based Gigabit phone, to be used on the VCX. The 3103 Manager Phone supports standards-based Power over Ethernet (PoE) and offers a variety of features including a full-duplex speakerphone and a large display for improved user experience.
Embedded in the V6000 platform is IP Messaging, a productivity-enhancing, unified messaging application that provides “Find Me / Follow Me” capability as well as voicemail / email integration.
Standard on the V6000 are four central office (CO) analog line ports (FXO) for connection to the local PSTN as well as two local analog station ports (FXS) to connect local devices, such as fax machines or analog telephones.
V6000 is SIP-based, companies can use other types of phones or devices, including RIM’s BlackBerry.
The V6000’s hardware has a $3,500 list price and the call control and IP messaging capability software license costs $1,000. On top of this, customers would buy IP phones or devices, which also have user licenses.
3Com V6000 VoIP System is available worldwide, but geared for markets in the US, EMEA, Latin America, Asia and Australia
