Avaya Launches one-X Quick Edition
Avaya one-X Quick Edition is an innovative peer-to-peer phone system for locations with 20 users or less. It is simple to set-up and use, and is ideal for small businesses and small branch offices requiring an intelligent communications solution that is easy to support and maintain.
Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition is a plug-and-play solution with system intelligence based in each Quick Edition IP phone. No advanced installation skills are required and the need for a separate server or processor unit is eliminated. All that’s required is a standard 10/100Mbps switched Local Area Network (LAN). Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition is a professional phone system tailored to the needs of small businesses supporting the most commonly used telephony applications including voicemail, conferencing and auto-attendant.
Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition phones support connection to SIP trunks. This gives small businesses the potential to reduce their telephony costs by connecting to an Avaya-validated SIP service provider. Enterprise branch offices can connect via SIP trunks to a central site with an Avaya SIP Enablement Services (SES) environment. In either case, traditional analogue trunk connections can also be made using the optional Quick Edition G11 4-port PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) Gateway.
Installation and set-up is simple. Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition phones are plugged directly into the LAN and once powered, automatically “discover” each other and prompt for network and user name. Once entered, the phones are fully operational in a matter of minutes. As an office grows, new employees can be added to the system by simply adding a new phone to the network. When deployed in small offices with 20 phones or less, one-X Quick Edition does not require any QoS (Quality of Service) configuration or formal network assessment.
The distributed nature of peer-to-peer technology provides business continuity advantages by eliminating a single point of telephony failure. Avaya one-X Quick Edition phones also automatically back-up one another’s voice mail.
If business needs change or functionality requirements outgrow the capabilities of the system, Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition offers businesses the flexibility to migrate to more advanced solutions such as Avaya IP Office or Avaya Communication Manager. This enables businesses to reuse the Avaya 4600 series IP handsets with these other systems
“Small businesses today demand the same benefits from technology as their larger competitors but also demand simplicity and a low cost of sale” said Paul Louden, Country Manager, SME Business, UK & Ireland “With the availability of Avaya’s one-X Quick Edition, our Distributors and BusinessPartners will be able to provide their SME customers with a highly efficient, flexible IP telephony solution, with a product migration strategy that can be developed at their own pace without risking their investment.”
