Next IP adds more telephony products

Next IP Distribution, a distributor of business IP telephony solutions, has added the Aastra OpenCom range of telephone systems with the OpenCom X320.

Designed for SMB organisations, the OpenCom X320 system is designed with integrated voicemail, call accounting, fax card, VPN router and firewall and a number of wireless and fixed handset options eliminates the need for additional complex equipment and modules to be added on to the system in a piece-meal fashion.

Based on a modular system design, the OpenCom X320 can be tailored to suit the needs of any growing business.

Nick Touzeau, director of Next IP Distribution, said the OpenCom X320 is a truly convergent telephone system, combining technology strengths in VoIP, wireless, business applications such as voicemail and integrated call accounting and a range of fixed and IP handsets.

“The system is expandable and flexible, allowing it to be configured as either a ‘traditional’ PABX or as a pure ‘IP-PABX’, he said.

The OpenComX320 incorporates a range of features including; VoIP, IP-enabled DECT base stations and PC based soft phones to their local or wide area networks.

Touzeau said the OpenCom X320 supports carrier based SIP trunking while site linking can be achieved via an inbuilt VPN router with firewall supporting IPSEC and PPTP.

"Wireless – large work areas receive blanket radio coverage through integrated DECT wireless extensions and DECT base stations," he said.

Applications - business applications such as call accounting, voicemail and auto attendant have been integrated, eliminating the need to purchase external modules or third party applications.

The system also has its own CTI (computer telephony integration) package for PC based management of handsets and voicemail as well as support for dial out from applications such as Microsoft Outlook.

The OpenCom X320 also supports a variety of integrated messaging options including the receipt and sending of faxes directly from a user’s PC via an optional fax mail card.
