The system’s advantages
This is an affordable system that handles basic telephony traffic as efficiently as
any system available. The system can accommodate most related equipment,
and its modular design allows for system updates. These capabilities mean that
the system offers your business an exciting array of practical, solutions-oriented
features.
The system adapts to global protocols
The system’s open architecture and modular design
make it compatible with a wide variety of hardware
and software
— both Lucent Technologies tools and
tools from other vendors. These may include personal
computers and shared servers, terminals, data access
equipment, telephones, fax machines, and property
management equipment. Multilingual options are
available for messaging and telephones. The system
was designed to accommodate both existing and
future global communications protocols. It is adaptable
to varying standards world-wide, providing efficient
digital switching even when connected to conventional
networks.
The system expands to match business growth
Modular port circuits, carriers (circuit shelves), and
cabinets can be added to accommodate growth up
to 25000 stations. Each system can also network to
other systems (Lucent Technologies systems or other
types) to service many simultaneous voice, data,
image, and video transmissions.
The system integrates related tools
The system not only communicates with most net-
works and equipment throughout the world, but also
unifies them by translating protocols as necessary.
The system is designed to accommodate multimedia
and network integration tools, in addition to features
that integrate computer and telephone. The system’s
integration capabilities and its association with lead-
ing-edge tools enhance the value of your related tele-
communications investments.
