Toshiba America Information Systems Inc. and its telecommunications systems division has announced a new IP-based telephone system of SMBs.

Toshiba Expands Its New IPedge LineThe IPedge EP is designed to support 40 users per server.

†”With Toshiba’s IPedge EP single server solution, small businesses can empower their users to communicate more effectively, be more cost effective, and have greater access to their customers, partners and each other,” says Brian Metherell, Toshiba’s vice president and general manager of the telecommunications systems division.

On a single Linux server, IPedge EP accommodates multiple unified communication, including call processing, voicemal, and unified messaging, as well as native SIP line and SIP trunk support, mobility, survivability, networking with other IPedge or Strata CIX systems, and feature-rich telephone endpoints.

Add-on applications, including meet-me conferencing with Web collaboration, uMobility Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) and Contact Center solutions, are available with additional servers.

SIP trunks work natively with the IPedge without requiring additional gateway equipment. With its IP technology and open standards, IPedge is designed for growth, as future endpoint devices and applications are built on standards to help ensure compatibility with the system.

According to Toshiba, the benefits of the Linux server include survivability within or across the network to support business continuity and a higher level of security. “A single IP address provides cost-effective deployment,” Toshiba states in a press release submitted to Channel Pro-SMB.

Toshiba adds that it will continue to offer its Strata CIX converged IP system, which enables users to combine IP and/or digital endpoints on a single system. “Whether users choose IPedge or Strata CIX systems, they get the best of both IP and converged telephony solutions, with the quality and reliability of a Toshiba business telephone system,” states Toshiba.
