More and more Enterprises are facing the IP transformation challenge. People are using different ways to communicate with each other, from voice to e-mail, instant messaging or videoconference, all using the IP network. They are more connected than ever, wishing to reach the ubiquity promised by Fixed to Mobile convergence. To face this new paradigm, Aastra’s response is a wide portfolio of IP telephone terminals based on open standards to provide our customers choice and flexibilty.
For Aastra, the real meaning of IP transformation is not just a change of technology. Moving to Voice over IP implies the possibility of becoming standardized and open which allows you the opportunity to benefit from flexible architectures, more possibilities of reducing the Total Cost of Ownership and greater protection of initial investments with more scalable and evolving solutions.
Aastra has made a large investment in R&D to promote an open standard IP Telephony concept comprised of solutions that are becoming more independent from the hardware and rely on the use of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
Aastra believes that SIP will definitely be an economic catalyst supporting the migration towards Voice over IP, facilitating the decision of end-users to change their analog and digital terminals to SIP terminals and also the move from TDM carrier trunks to SIP trunks. But more than that, SIP will enable multimedia applications to easily communicate with each other, choosing the most appropriate media according to the presence status of users.
