Hitachi Cable has announced that its SIP-based WirelessIP5000 telephone handset is compliant with Avaya’s Voice over IP Solution - the Avaya S8300 Media Server and the Avaya SIP Enablement Services (SES) Server R3.0. This solution, combined with the MC500 Access Point/Controller from Meru Networks, allows those who use Hitachi Cable handsets on an Avaya-based wireless network to maintain seamless communications as they roam within a WiFi network.

The Hitachi Cable WirelessIP5000 handset is suited for workplaces where mobility is part of the business day. The phone bypasses public cellular networks and enables businesses to have the much-needed mobility on their WiFi Infrastructure. This eliminates cellular service charges and improves calling coverage indoors where traditional cellular network coverage is known to be spotty.

The Hitachi Cable handsets may be preconfigured to connect automatically with up to five different WiFi network locations. As a result, users can move from WiFi work sites located miles apart, connect at public hot spots and even communicate via a WiFi network at home without reconfiguring their phone.

Since the WirelessIP5000 is based on the industry-approved SIP standard, businesses can deploy the handsets with basic calling features today and add high-end feature support in the future. When used with an Avaya’s SIP Server, a large array of traditional calling features are readily supported - such as Call waiting, 3-way conferencing, and Find me among others.

Hitachi Cable is an Innovator member of the Avaya DeveloperConnection Program - an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company’s investment in its VoIP network. As a member of the program, Hitachi Cable is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab in Lincroft, N.J. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant. Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-breed capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure - speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.
