The LG Nortel
joint venture has contributed three new devices to Microsoft's new VoIP
communications push. The three models include features such as
biometric fingerprint log-in for enhanced security.
But the
main features are focused on bringing together functions like Voice
over IP telephony, directory dialing, calendar integration, call
diversion and presence checking. The devices also support the ability
to securely access personal profile information such as contacts,
calendars, voice mail and call logs.
The devices are designed
to help enterprises drive increased productivity by simplifying the way
employees communicate, but they also aim to make management of the
devices less resource intensive. The devices have systems
administration functionality to lessen the management load and are
capable of automatically downloading software and updates from the
enterprise server.
The
flagship of LG-Nortel's new UC devices for Office Communications Server
2007 and Office
Communicator 2007 includes the 8540 IP Phone which has a large
5.7-inch colour touch screen LCD display and high quality wideband
audio for
clearer voice and biometric
fingerprint security functionality.
Also announced was a USB Phone and a Headset with Bluetooth
wireless technology for un-tethered calling.
"We've been working closely with Microsoft to deliver
innovative solutions that can simplify the transition to unified
communications for enterprise customers," said Jae-Ryung Lee, chief
executive officer, LG-Nortel.
"LG-Nortel expects to have a strong
impact in the market with the new family of advanced unified
communications devices that will provide a rich and high-value
experience to end users," he said.
"Microsoft is proud to work with unified communications
partners who provide innovative devices that enable a more intuitive
and effective unified communications voice experience," said Chris
Cullin, director of technical product management for the Unified
Communications Group at Microsoft.
"Microsoft and LG-Nortel are
working together to deliver a new level of value for enterprise
customers who want to use the PC as a communications platform to better
connect people, information and business processes," he said.
