| Oki Electric Launches New Key Telephone System Oki has released two new key telephone systems with full scale IP telephony and mobile functions. The new business phones, IPstage MX and IPstage SX, which are best for offices under 100 people, will be offered in Japan, and will sequentially be offered in various overseas markets such as China and Oceania. Oki introduced Japan's first IP-PBX, "IPstage EN192" back in 1999 and an IP telephony server "IP CONVERGENCE Server SS9100" for large-scale offices in 2004. The following year, the company unveiled an IP-PBX for middle and small size offices, "IPstage EX300". As telecom carriers are building next generation networks, various telecommunication services, including Fixed Mobile Convergence and IP-based video delivery services, will be integrated over IP networks. In such an environment, demands for introduction of IP telephony products are increasing, not only in large offices but also in middle size offices. The new IP and mobile function business phones are equipped with Oki's voice and video technologies "eSound " and "eVideo " to provide advanced and high-quality service. IPstage MX can be used for offices with under 100 extensions and IPstage SX for offices with under 30 extensions. In addition to the function for IP multifunctional telephones, the two models also work as a mobile terminals in and out of the office, as they include wireless LAN dual network handsets, which until now have been included only in Oki's large-scale IP telephony systems. It is also the first business-use phone in Japan to be equipped with SIP compliant softphone, "Com@WILL Softphone", which enables users to utilize leading-edge functions including application collaboration and video conferencing (up to 4 participants). Oki is also releasing a new multi key telephone to add to its product lineup. The "Multi Key Telephone R" is equipped with "My eSound" that enables high-quality voice conversation of IP phones with other phones. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
