Australian listed communications hardware specialist may
increase its precense to a worldwide audience with a deal to co-develop a new
SIP-based business phone for use with NEC's UNIVERGE SV7000 VoIP system.
The new partnership will see NetComm's Product Customisation
Division build the phones to work with the SV7000 solution.
"NEC Corporation are a world market leader in telephony and
with the introduction of their UNIVERGE IP-PBX range, they were looking for a
business-grade telephone that could support the many sophisticated functions,"
said David Stewart, Managing Director, NetComm.
"The NetComm Product
Customisation Division was commissioned to build the V95 for NEC to deliver a
standardised product on the SIP platform and to capitalise on the powerful
features in the UNIVERGE SV7000 IP telephony solution," he said.
According to a company statement, evaluation samples of the new
phone have also been sent to several other countries where NEC operates, to
review the phone's compatibility for overseas use.
However, while NetComm is clearly hopeful there is no
guarantee other countries will take on the phone.
The development project actually began in 2005 with field
testing still underway in Australia.
Production shipments are expected to commence immediately.
NEC's UNIVERGE SV7000 IP Telephony solution is designed for
large scale business VoIP deployments (200+ phones), with the NetComm handset
designed to deliver the user a wide range of advanced call-handling functions.
NEC also provided IP telephony solutions designed on the same platform for
smaller installations, with the V95 built to accommodate these future models.
"Partnering with NEC Business Solutions gives the NetComm
V95 huge potential both locally and internationally and we are extremely
confident it will result in substantial sales revenues. We have ensured a
scaleable production facility to accommodate high level demand," said Stewart.
