November 6, 1998
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov.Calista Inc., a
provider of gateways that link PBXs to IP
networks, was honored to receive a "Best of
Show" Award for its PBXoverIP Solo product
at CT Expo/Demo '98. PBXoverIP Solo is a
digital phone extender that relocates any
supported PBX telephone to a remote site.
Calista's product offers remote users
PBX-quality sound and full digital phone
functionality over an IP Network. This award
demonstrates Calista's commitment to
developing state-of-the-art IP solutions for
customers who have investments in legacy
PBXs.
PBXoverIP Solo
With PBXoverIP, any remote PBX phone will
function like a local extension, providing
benefits such as call transfers, internal
extension calls, and multiple line
appearances. It also enables a call center
manager to quickly add off-site agents as
needed. PBXoverIP will run over a private IP
Network, the Internet, or the public
telephone network (PSTN). It connects
directly to Ethernet and works with a variety
of network technologies such as DSL, ISDN,
or cable modems.
"It is Calista's PBXoverIP Solo wonder box,"
stated Rick Luhmann, Editor-in-Chief of
Computer Telephony Magazine. "Smaller than
the average modem, it provides complete
PBX phone functionality (including all softkey
and LCD features) to remote employees and
does all this over the Internet. That's right.
You could be answering your integrated
phone in Hawaii off a switch located
anywhere in the world."
PBXoverIP Solo is compatible with a variety
of digital phones from Nortel, Lucent,
Siemens, Mitel and NEC and requires no
changes or upgrades to existing PBXs. It is
ideal for remote office workers, sales forces,
small branch offices, and remote
call-centers.
"For corporate America, PBXoverIP Solo
represents the most useful application of
Voice over IP technology that I have seen to
date," said William MacDonald, Vice President
of Business Development at Calista. "We are
delighted to have received this distinction
from the editors at CT Expo/Demo."
