Aastra Intecom has introduced Clearspan, a new Unified Communications (News - Alert) solution based on state-of-the-art design, open industry standards and proven carrier-grade technology for large and very large enterprises.
Clearspan aims to provide a rich, easy to use communications environment across all the devices users encounter and architect it to the most stringent professional standards for openness, performance, scalability and reliability.
The new Unified Communications solution has been launched in the U.S. and Canada for enterprises that require VoIP
in a mission-critical environment. Thanks to Clearspan, enterprises have access to familiar PBX (News - Alert) calling features plus advanced Unified Communications features, such as Microsoft Outlook and Office Communicator integration, click-to-call dialing, simultaneous ring, and the extension of VoIP services to mobile devices.
Additionally, the solution offers an extensive and complete portfolio of standards-based IP
telephone products, including a highly scalable and flexible SIP-DECT (News - Alert) solution ideal for high-quality, secure wireless voice applications.
Allowing delivery of VoIP applications over multiple types of networks, the premises-based platform can be used with enterprises’ existing applications for a complete distributed solution.
Clearspan will enable larger organizations to now move to full voice over IP as they are confident that their unique requirements can be completely addressed during design, planning, deployment and long-term operation. The solution’s state-of-the-art network model and unique device independence capability deliver a high level of business continuity with a low total cost of ownership
.
The company explains that Clearspan was developed from the ground up with a robust feature set and a future-proof architecture aiming to flexibly incorporate new standards, technologies and networks with ease.
“Clearspan is a continuation of Aastra’s tradition of delivering high-performance mission-critical solutions to large enterprises,” said Dana A. Call, executive vice-president and general manager, Aastra USA in a statement.
Call continued: “We have a proven commitment to delivering high-value solutions to some of the world’s largest and most demanding customers and we are excited about the ability of this product to deliver immediate benefits without wholesale replacement of existing systems.
