A Platform to Match Any IP Telephony Requirement

Whether for a single work location with ten people or a multisite global enterprise, 3Com® Voice over IP solutions provide organizations with IP telephony platforms that deliver high performance and high value.

Small organizations are typically independent enterprises that need more than two but less than 50 extensions and require simple operation and economical solutions. Though at one time they might have chosen a key system to fulfill their communications needs, now they are turning to cost-effective, feature-rich VoIP alternatives. 3Com NBX® IP telephony platforms—such as the NBX V3000 Analog Platform shown on the left—and 3Com Power over Ethernet LAN switching products offer users large-enterprise performance without the cost of a typical large enterprise system. Reseller partners can deliver a bundled system that includes voice mail and gateways for public telephone network and analog device interconnection.

For organizations that require more than 50 but less than 400 extensions, and have fewer than five sites, 3Com provides proven solutions such as the NBX V3001R platform shown here. These systems combine advanced but simple-to-deploy applications which can be administered by non-technical staff with minimal training. All three NBX solutions include voice mail and a variety of gateway options for public telephone network and analog device interconnection.

Where medium size enterprises require a highly resilient and standards-based solution, 3Com offers two platform series, the V7000 and V6x00 systems. The family of V7000 servers is shown here. Through distributed redundancy, these platforms provide economical options for delivering a broad range of high-availability VoIP services. They also let an organization leverage centralized IT skills to administer systems across multiple sites, making them particularly suitable for organizations with more than five business locations.

Branch sites of medium or large organizations of up to 100 users have their own set of special needs. They require cost-effective connections to local PSTN facilities and the assurance that communications services at branch offices will not be isolated by a WAN failure. Platforms in the V6x00 Integrated Branch Communications series, such as the V6100 platform shown here, integrate PSTN and analog device connectivity with an application server able to support enterprise services such as IP telephony and IP messaging. Intended for the local sites of organizations that use the V7000 platform at main offices, V6x00 platforms run exactly the same applications as the V7000 systems. They enable centralized management of hundreds of branch locations, as well as rapid deployment and fully redundant applications.
