DPNSS-based PBXs can now be integrated with Avaya’s Communication Manager
[UKPRwire, Thu Feb 26 2009] Aculab, a leading provider of enabling technology for the global communications market, today announced that the ApplianX DPNSS-to-Q.SIG Gateway has been added to Avaya's product portfolio.
Through the ApplianX DPNSS-to-Q.SIG Gateway, Avaya can provide an additional migration solution that enables enterprises to integrate Avaya's Communication Manager IP Telephony solution with their legacy DPNSS-based PBXs. This allows enterprises to take advantage of Avaya Communication Manager and to begin to realise the cost advantages of IP telephony – whilst protecting existing investments and without disrupting their current network operations.
“We’ve been working closely with Aculab to develop a cost effective DPNSS-to-Q.SIG gateway in order to serve our enterprise customers better.” said Vincent Uppelschoten, Senior Solutions Marketing Manager EMEA at Avaya. "We have been very impressed by how easy the ApplianX gateway is to use and the tools available to aid configuration. ApplianX has exceeded our expectations and allowed us to bring this solution to market in a timely fashion.”
Faye McClenahan, Aculab’s Head of Strategic Marketing commented “We are very pleased that the ApplianX DPNSS-to-Q.SIG Gateway has been approved by Avaya for connection to their Communication Manager platform. Faye continued “There is still a very large installed base of DPNSS-based PBXs and enterprise customers are reluctant to surrender the many supplementary services they use, when looking to migrate to VoIP. With ApplianX, enterprises can now reap the benefits of VoIP and the Avaya Communication Manager solution, yet maintain their legacy equipment.”
The ApplianX DPNSS-to-Q.SIG Gateway provides connection for up to two DPNSS trunks and two Q.SIG trunks to support from 30 to 60 DPNSS-to-Q.SIG PBX extensions. It is able to support over 20 DPNSS supplementary services of many legacy communications systems, such as route optimisation, transfer, caller name display and call diversion. The gateway has been designed to be extremely simple to use and is configured via a web-based GUI. Diagnostic tools are also available to ease with troubleshooting, such as the ApplianX Trace Tool.
