Avaya IP Office IP telephony delivers real world business benefits through improved efficiency and decreased costs. It will enable you to adopt IP technology at a pace that is appropriate for your needs, working in parallel with more traditional telephony methods. IP telephony allows extensions to be deployed both locally and remotely through the use of routers or virtual private network (VPN) services. Avaya IP Office flexibly supports both hard phones and PC-based softphones. By fully supporting the H.323 standard, Avaya IP Office provides standards-based interoperability between systems and devices. Multiple Avaya IP Office systems can be linked together using a standard data network, providing feature transparency and advanced applications, such as centralized voice mail.
Remote access through the Avaya IP Office provides your non-office-based staff with access to the important business information they need to be productive on your network. They can use desktop PCs, your best laptop, or even Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)-enabled mobile phones. Your network is protected by an integral firewall, which helps ensure security across the network, while offering a facility for setting time profiles to help ensure flexibility and cost control. The firewall provides the security, which allows packets to travel in and out. With the profiles, you are able to control the amount of time individuals are allowed to access the network. Avaya IP Office delivers remote access to smaller businesses with non-traditional office arrangements, supporting 24 to 100 simultaneous remote users and a total community of 100 to 300 remote workers.
