Video-based communications with the Aastra BluStar EcosystemTM usually, at a meeting, all the participants are sitting together around the same table. With Aastra BluStar Ecosystem, ­Aastra offers perfectly matched UCC components to enable authentic meet­ ings without the need for time-consum­ ing and expensive business trips. Aastra BluStar Ecosystem Video telephony is what it's all about. And yet the BluStar Ecosystem goes one step further, combining video-based real-time communications with clever solutions for even closer collaboration. Modular design principle The system's modular design principle means that a customised UCC solution can be deployed according to the re­ quirements of the company and geared to the tasks of each staff member, and then subsequently adapted at any time. Components Besides a multimedia deskphone the BluStar Ecosystem comprises a PC client that can be used on PC stations and ­laptops. Aastra also ensures modern communications on the move that are integrated into the company, with video telephony also available for iPads and iP­ hones. Fax Modern business communications revolve around digital forms of commu­ nication, with email first and foremost among them; and yet, fax commu­ nications remain a key element. Not least because in many countries faxes are r­ecognised as an official document in legal and official matters. Conventional fax machines, which are often analogue, have long since made way for PC fax functions. So it comes as no surprise that faxes are still in wide­ spread use, even in ultra-modern IP VoIP infrastructures. Aastra has also implemented the basis for modern IP-based fax communica­ tions in its Aastra 400 communication servers. Aastra 400 users can also send and receive faxes using SIP. Fax over SIP With fax over SIP, faxes can also be received and sent with ease using a fully IP-based system such as Aastra 400. If you have an IP trunk line, fax informa­ tion is conveyed inside the company over SIP and using the transmission standard open for the IP environment, T.38. If fax mail is used, companies can enjoy the advantages offered by a wide range of fax options. Faxes may be sent and received via the PC desktop. 6
