OKI Launches IP System For SMB Print E-mail

Oki, better known for its printing solution has announced an IP communication system for the Australian SMB market. The move is perhaps not so remarkable on a global perspective considering Oki claims a 130 year heritage in telecommunications.

IPstage SX is targeted at small sized offices with up to 30 extensions and provides the type of telephony features you would expect from an IP PBX - it can link applications and conduct video conferencing for up to four people, functions that were previously only offered in systems for large-scale companies, says OKI.

"While it may seem a little unusual for Oki to launch a communications product, the Australian market knows and trusts the Oki brand implicitly and we believe that our extensive global experience in IP PBX will allow us to secure considerable market share," said Graham Harman, Oki General Manager.

The IPstage series itself provides a number of features like call restriction, which prevents calls being placed to a pre-registered number, automatic route selection, Caller ID display on analogue phones, DISA, built-in Voice Mail and Call Rejection.

The system, which is "exceptionally price competitive", allows users to use the system with either digital handsets that feature 4 lines x 16 character LCD backlit display and full duplex hands free, or with IP handsets that connect directly to the computer as well as OKI's soft phone the atrociously named Com@WILL.

The Com@WILL softphone is able to manage a four party Video Conference with high quality voice and video. It features Voice Recording during a conversation (or when absent) and Application Sharing for sharing the same spreadsheet or presentation files etc., with other parties and many others.
