  Running Voice on Your Data Network

Small businesses require an affordable, flexible phone system platform that provides no-compromise call-processing features and functionality while minimizing the day-to-day operation and maintenance hassle associated with conventional telephone systems. A networked telephony solution makes compelling business sense. It provides small companies with feature-rich call processing, toll-quality voice communication and all the productivity-enhancing benefits of an Ethernet LAN — in a single converged network. Why pay for and manage two separate networks when all you need is one?

The Solution
The 3Com® NBX® 100 Communications System is the ideal solution for bringing network telephony to small businesses, even across multiple locations.



Solution Fundamentals

3Com NBX Communications Systems are the leading networked telephony solutions on the market today. The NBX 100 Communications System provides the powerful, productivity-enhancing capabilities of large, sophisticated corporate phone systems, but without the costs or complexity. It integrates a robust call-processing feature set with standards-based Ethernet technology in a powerful business telephone system. Both systems are open, standards-based platforms that work with any existing desktop computers and servers and with Ethernet hubs, switches, and routers.

The NBX 100 runs over the company's LAN/WAN infrastructure. Remote users are able to have an NBX business phone in each in each of their homes to connect them to headquarters via a Virtual Private Network. From home, employees have access to both the company's data and telephony services just like they are in the office. Now the company can easily route customer calls during out of office hours to the on-call technician, making it appear as if someone is always 'in the office' — and the technician is equipped with the data/telephone services to quickly and efficiently handle the calls.
