Distribution, which carries the Aastra range IP telephony gear has
added the DECToverIP system which uses a combination of DECT and SIP
to deliver a highly scalable cordless solution for small, medium
or even large enterprises.
DECToverIP leverages existing SIP-based
infrastructures and IP networks, so NextIP says is relatively easy to implement
a cost-effective converged wireless solution that can support up to 256
base stations and 512 handsets.
Nick Touzeau, director, Next IP Distribution,
said: "The addition of SIP based DECToverIP to Aastra's product line
adds to our extensive portfolio of open standard enterprise and mobility
communications solutions. This solution lets businesses of all sizes easily
deploy an on-site DECT voice network creating a mobile workforce. Whether
in retail, manufacturing or any other business environment requiring mobility,
employees can stay in touch, be more responsive and productive, while on
the move within their companies' premises."
The system provides
users with a confidential, reliable, high quality DECT connection
within a building or multiple locations on the same corporate network
and provides full roaming and seamless hand-over between
base stations, says the distributor.
The system incorporates features similar to SIP desk terminals
such as call forward and call waiting and can easily be deployed in most
open-standard IP environments including; hosted or premised based using
SIP based IP-PBXs (including Aastra's PBXs supporting SIP), hybrid PBXs
or open source PBXs (such as Asterisk). It is also certified for BroadSoft's
Centrex solutions and compatible with other leading IP-Centrex providers
such as MetaSwitch.
The solution includes two IP base stations known as Radio Fixed Parts
(RFP), a new
DECT handset designed for professional use, and the OpenMobility
Manager
(OMM) software. The RFPs support SIP with one, the RFP L32 IP, designed
for indoor use and the other, RFP L34 IP, for outdoors. Both can be
powered over LAN (PoE) and allow up to 8 simultaneous
voice communications each.
The Aastra DECT handset 142 combines
the secure high quality voice communications of DECT technology with the
cost-effectiveness and versatility of IP telephony. It offers a wide range
of features such as: hands-free operation, a back-lit 5-line graphic display,
memory card, 100 entry phonebook, SOS-key for immediate connection to an
emergency number, headset connection and vibrating alarm.
OpenMobility Manager (OMM) software
administers all DECT handsets and mobility activities (roaming, seamless
handover between base stations and media stream). It is installed on one
of the RFPs and works with any central communication server or IP PBX supporting
SIP (no additional PBX is required for remote locations).
