Voice Networking Gateway Solutions
The use of IP telephony can result in cost savings and improve the number and quality of
voice-related applications. Many end customers recognize the benefits of these enhancements
but are hesitant to replace their entire voice infrastructure to gain benefits at a particular site.
In such situations, using MCD as a gateway into IP telephony has many advantages.
By integrating MCD into an existing third-party PBX, customers retain their previous investment
in communication equipment while taking advantage of the benefits of a superior IP telephony
solution. MCD can connect to the third-party PBX using a variety of methods, building the
gateway to IP telephony. This enables customers to use IP Networking, Collaboration, Mobility,
and virtual Contact Center applications, as illustrated below.
