Openness With Voice over IP (VoIP) technology from Aastra IntelliGate, such corporate-wide networking can be used to carry voice. This centralises communications and provides the same advanced telephone features to all employees, irrespective of their location. This fully integrates remote workers, field based staff and branch or regional offices. Whether these users are on stand-alone phones or separate telephone systems, all can be networked together using IP telephony. Network transparency Aastra IntelliGate transparent networking concept enables all system extensions of the company's network to be centralised as though it were one single telephone system. Using Voice over IP across an existing data network with Quality of Service (QoS) companies can now guarantee high quality inter-branch communications that can significantly reduce their call costs and improve efficiency. Aastra IntelliGate also supports the integration of thirdparty systems using standardised QSIG and SIP protocols. Even if you do not have a corresponding data network, IntelliGate allows you to network your telephone systems in the traditional way, via the exchange connection. Same performance for all locations Aastra IntelliGate networked systems provides staff at different company locations with centralised and shared functionality, including useful added features such as extensions status, enquiry call, call divert and call-back, all of which work perfectly, even if the users are not in the same building. It is also possible to set up user groups with individual staff from different locations. Another option is to connect the telephone terminals directly to Aastra IntelliGate across the WAN or using the existing IP-based intranet. In this way even smaller company locations and homeworkers can benefit from cost effective functions. Linking up individual terminals via IP Even individual telephony equipment such as standard IP handsets and 'soft phones' can be connected with the central IntelliGate communication system, regardless of location. The only condition for problem-free telephony over existing data networks is a voice-compatible IP connection. This allows you to cover in full the communication requirements at your branch offices or home workers. By optimising the use of existing resources you can reduce your investment volume considerably. 5
