Multimedia Phone Roundup

January 28, 2010 by Garrett Smith

We are all accustomed to having the ability to send and receive emails, browse the web to visit our favorite sports site or to check up on the weather, download leisurely and productive apps, and letā€™s not forgot updating your facebook status, tweeting to your friends about cool VoIP Multimedia phones, and confirming your colleagueā€™s friend request on linkedIN.

Yes, this is something we all do on an everyday basis and we have grown accustomed to having this freedom at our fingertips. To the Voice over IP world, these necessities as we call them and that we take for granted, havenā€™t really met our needs until now!!!

The whole revolution of Multimedia phones came about back in early 2009 where we seen our first multimedia phoneā€™s coming to market.

These have built in XML features that allow them to communicate via the web to your favorite website (such as the ones mentioned above). Another cool feature we are seeing on almost every multimedia phone is the ability to customize your settings, background images, even the phones appearance with ā€œskinsā€ to cover its boring outer appearance.

Also most multimedia phones have built in hardware to support Bluetooth headsets, WiFI for Wireless LAN connectivity so you can move around anywhere in the office without running any extra Ethernet cables or drops, Electronic Hookswitch Support or EHS (Please see my EHS Post on the VoIPInsider for further info), Video support, either built in or with an added video hardware module or software, Color touch screens, HD Voice, Gigabit Ethernet, and much more.

Below is a brief recap of the current lineup ofĀ  Multimedia phones on VoIPSupply.com and their supported functionality. For additional information on any models below, please contact us and speak to our sales team at 1-800-398-8647.

Nortel partners with SIPFoundry to offer first OPEN standards Unified Communications Platform

Thatā€™s right, I said it, and yes you heard me correctly, Nortel has finally seen the need to address the growing need to get OFF proprietary equipment and move to a more open standards based platform offering.

While most of us in the Voice over IP world are already accustomed to this, me personally, from day one, I always have noticed the added benefits of using an open-source telephony platform over any proprietary based platform, any day of the week, hands-down. Itā€™s a no-brainer. The idea of using any SIP-Based IP endpoint on a solution gives you the ability to meet everyoneā€™s need from a function ability standpoint, price standpoint, and overall maintenance and upgrades or better put, ease of use. So I say to you Nortel, thank youā€¦itā€™s about timeā€¦.

Recently, Nortelā€™s partnership with SIPFoundry and their open-source application sipXecs, has allowed Nortel to venture into waters they have never gone before. Nortel SCS, A software based Unified communication platform (derived from sipXecs open-source software) is now available and now permits its users to use any SIP based endpoint. As Nortel puts it:
ā€œBecause SCS is based entirely on SIP, it is fully interoperable with SIP-based products and applications in the industry. Say good-bye to vendor lock-in and hello to building custom solutions that perfectly meet your unique business requirements.”

Furthermore, Nortel even offers full tech support on most Polycom SoundPoint IP Phone models and Audiocodes Mediapack and Mediant gateways.

SCS is a software based Unified Communication platform designed by Nortel that encompasses all of the ā€œbells and whistlesā€ such as integration with softphones, presence and IM, Voice and Video conferencing, Unified messaging, and much more. This is Nortels first ā€œOPENā€ platform.

So you may be wondering, how do I purchase this solution, well VoIPSupply currently does not offer any Nortel hardware or software offerings.

You can however, find your SIP-Based endpoints from VoIPSupply. Give us a call and speak to one of our dedicated sales representative on your solution and needs.
