Communication Systems

Iwatsu Enterprise 4.0 Communications Server

ECS_Rack.jpg

The Iwatsu Enterprise 4.0 Communications Server utilizes QuadFusion™ Technology to fuse the four dominant communication protocols onto one platform. SIP, VoIP, TDM, and H.323 can be used alone or in tandem, making the Iwatsu Enterprise 4.0 a truly versatile system. And the Iwatsu Enterprise 4.0 Communications Server operates as a true media bridge gateway that converges and transmits both voice and data traffic.

That’s the Iwatsu Enterprise 4.0 advantage:

  • Versatile platform that supports SIP, H.323, VoIP and TDM alone or in any combination
  • SIP provides a direct interface to Iwatsu Enterprise TOL, Iwatsu's unified communications platform, which eliminates the need to purchase analog voice cards
  • Converges voice and data traffic for higher cost-savings, fewer hardware requirements and more flexible bandwidth usage.
  • Reliable modular design allows small companies to grow up to 1024 ports with add-on features and applications.
  • Integrates with applications including transparent networking, unified communications, contact center solutions, in-building wireless and more.
  • My ECPhone allows station users to change features easily from their PC.
  • Remote IP stations can access the ECS through an internet-mode (non-VPN connection).
  • Automated Call Distribution (ACD) Enhancements to ECS 4.0 include Group Park, Transfer to Park, Call Record, and Day/Night Mode.

IP Networking

With the power of VoIP (voice over IP) technology, your main and remote offices and even remote workers can communicate like they’re under one roof.

In an IP network, a Dallas office can simply transfer or make intercom calls to an office in Japan. VoIP exchanges both your voice and data traffic between locations using IP addressing, enabling separate offices to stay connected and communicate more effectively.

And because IP networking dynamically allocates available network resources based on user demand, it not only cuts connectivity costs, but also utilizes bandwidth more efficiently. Plus, since IP networking connects decentralized offices in one network, businesses can also reduce charges for long-distance calls.

Transparent IP Networking

  • Iwatsu Enterprise IP Networking lets you communicate with 100% feature transparency between separate office locations anywhere worldwide; supports up to 1024 ports.
  • Creates a “campus” environment; separate offices are connected in one network and share 100% of the same system features and applications.
  • All system features and unique applications are shared from one main system – reduces hardware, software and maintenance costs at individual sites.
  • Call transfers and intercom calls between locations make exchanging information more efficient and cost-effective.
  • Centralized automated attendant enables callers to call one main number and be routed to any extension/voice mailbox within the network.
  • Home office or remote workers can connect to the network and communicate with the same 100% feature transparency from anywhere offsite via an Iwatsu Enterprise IP phone.
  • Remote updates and changes are easily made to one main system instead of maintaining multiple systems.
  • Local survivability ensures all networked systems stay independently functional during any connectivity problems.

Conventional IP Networking

  • Connects separate office locations to communicate with extension dialing and intercom calling.
  • Centralized automated attendant enables callers to call one main number and be routed to any extension/voice mailbox within the network.
  • Reduces long distance charges between separate offices.
  • More flexible and efficient connectivity than conventional E&M networking.
  • Systems at each office location operate individually with their own features, applications and administration.
