Enjoy Freedom of
Choice With
Investment Protection
The
Electra Elite IPK,
NEC’s new versatile
communication platform,
allows you to converge
your voice and data networks
and enjoy the many advantages
of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP), the future of business
communications. The Electra
Elite IPK gives you a choice: You
can deploy traditional circuit-switched
technology, VoIP, or
any combination, all from one
system! You have the freedom
to adopt VoIP when and where
you need it, so today’s
technology investment is
protected tomorrow.
Cost
Saving
Advantages
Small companies get ‘big
company’ features with the
Electra Elite IPK. Networking capabilities allow you to share
resources for multiple or
remote locations, so you spend
less to equip your business.
Since the VoIP trunk card
routes voice calls through the
IP network, long distance
charges, maintenance and
overall cost of ownership may
be reduced.
Save
billing, management and maintenance costs with the
option of Centralized Voice Mail and Centralized Billing.
A K-CCIS network gives you
access to a central automated
Attendant that answers and
routes incoming calls and plays
a message to the calling party.
LCR (Least Cost Routing) saves
money by allowing you to automatically direct calls using
the least expensive route
based on time of day, day of week, weekend or holiday.
The
Electra Elite IPK includes a
System Battery Back-up for
continued operation during
power outages, so there’s no
need to purchase a separate
UPS. “In-skin” application cards
add feature rich applications
like Automatic Call Distribution
(ACD) or Wireless without
having to buy additional
computers and back-up
systems. These advantages add
up to reduced system
expenditures.
Increased
Productivity
Cost-effective
cordless and
wireless phones offer mobility
and convenience and reduce
the time needed to return
messages. Employees can stay
in touch and be available to
customers.
Route
calls effectively and
efficiently in Call Center
settings with Electra Elite IPK ACD Plus. Agents can access
crucial call data with the touch
of a softkey to help improve
speed and performance.
Features
for a Security-Conscious Age
When all outside lines are
busy, the Electra Elite IPK
system can be programmed to immediately drop a call to let
911 callers use the line. In
addition, Enhanced 911 ensures
your 911 call will be completed
whether you dial 911, 9-911, or a
line key and 911. Caller information
is then provided to the Public
Safety Answering Point.
Account
Codes are used to track time or control unauthorized
telephone use by associating a
code with each call. Station
Outgoing Lock Out allows you to assign a personal password to
your terminal, preventing unauthorized
access.
The Choice is Yours
The Electra Elite IPK brings
security, productivity and
enhanced features to the cost conscious customer. The system’s
flexibility lets you adopt VoIP now
or wait until it’s right for your
organization.
What
is Peer-to-Peer Switching?
“
Peer-to-peer” switching means that the stations participating
in a call
are connected directly to each other through the IP network.
The
signals travel through the IP network but do not “go through” the
switch as they do in traditional telephony. The fact that the
NEAX2000
IPS can function in and support a “hybrid” network
with traditional digital/analog switching, IP/TDM/IP switching
and
pure peer-to-peer IP
switching means that users can continue to utilize their existing
equipment while they phase in IP Telephony and lay the foundation
for
future networks.
Reduced Costs of Peer-to-Peer IP Connectivity
The NEAX2000 IPS retains all the features of the popular
NEAX7400ICS M100MX/NEAX2000IVS2, while offering significant
cost savings
associated with peer to-peer Telephony such as:
Converged
WAN Infrastructures – Pay
for service and maintenance of one network rather than
two. By
transporting voice signals across the Wide Area Network
as IP packets,
users can integrate their voice traffic with their data
traffic.
Converged
LAN Infrastructures – Establish
voice calls across the 10/100 Ethernet Local Area Network
utilizing the existing plant cabling and allowing single-cable
termination to the desktop.
Reduced
Equipment Requirements – Reduce the
need for cards while minimizing the required plant footprint
as well. In traditional TDM telephony, a single port
is required for each
station and each tie line connection. With IP connectivity,
multiple calls
are controlled through a single 10/100 Ethernet port
while voice travels
directly between the user telephones.
Functions Alone or in a Network
The NEAX2000 IPS functions as a standalone telephony system
supporting both IP and traditional circuit switched
connectivity.
As such, it can support up to 512 stations and 240 digital trunks. Yet it
can also be networked with full feature transparency into
a system with other NEC telephony devices such as the NEAX2000IVS2,
the NEAX2400 IPX and, of
course, other NEAX2000 IPS units. In this case, the NEAX2000 IPS supports
node-to-node peer-to-peer connectivity. Up
to 255 NEAX2000 IPS nodes can be networked together.
The
Bottom Line
The NEAX2000 IPS offers the full range of PBX features
while utilizing less equipment and occupying less floor
space
than a traditional PBX. Additionally, NEC's broad range of IP phone sets
all have a multi-port switch built in, thereby
enabling onecable termination to the desktop. Furthermore, with NEC's migration
strategy, you can switch to IP Telephony now or in the future while protecting
your investment.
