Traditional telephone systems work completely independently from your computer network, and are difficult to deploy and manage.  Now 3Com bring you LAN-based telephony systems and Voice-over-IP, allowing telephones to be plugged into your network.  Want to move a handset?  Unplug it and plug it in again - job done.  Want to change the configuration of a 'phone?  Bring up a picture of the 'phone on your PC and make the changes.

LAN Telephony          3Com Product Guide P18

3Com LAN Telephony products give users the best of both worlds: simple, single-network economy and administration, and powerful, standards-based feature sets that make convergence a reality.  3Com’s NBX Communication Systems continue to lead the IP Telephony market. They are cost-effective and deliver more features, applications and services than traditional PBX systems. 

3Com can radically simplify your phone system by: -

• reducing your support overheads

• allowing easy, low-cost adds, moves and changes

• enabling users to easily customise their handsets

• integrating into your back-office systems

• supplying integrated voice mail

• running voice traffic over your existing data infrastructure

NBX Communications Systems

This system looks and acts like a traditional business telephone system, yet it's the world's first Ethernet/IP-based product to send voice packets through the LAN or across the WAN - all with crystal-clear audio and the sturdy reliability of a self-contained, non-PC-based unit.  The industry has been talking about convergence for years but now with 3Com's NBX the benefits to your business are clear.

If you are considering upgrading your phone switchboard, or you are moving site, why not contact 3complete to see how you could use NBX to get better value from your telephone system. Call or E-mail us using the button on the left.

There are currently two versions of the NBX system available, the NBX 100 system designed for smaller companies ( up to 150 users or so) and the Superstack 3 NBX system which will support as many as 600 users.

NBX 100

The NBX 100 system is usually supplied as a Chassis Bundle package, and then additional components are added as required.  For this reason, most clients ask us to determine the configuration they need by analysing their requirements.

The systems are graded by the number of auto-attendant ports (concurrent voice-mail users) and the total recordable message length.  This is determined by the licence version of the Advanced Powermail eXchange (APX) software.

Business Telephones.  The NBX business telephone is a high quality handset that connects to your Ethernet network, and puts powerful call handling features at your disposal.  It contains all the functionality that you would expect from a state-of-the-art telephone, including a full-duplex speaker phone, two line LCD display, a new message indicator with one-button access to voice mail.  By using the browser-based NetSet tool, users can easily program their own phone to allocate speed dials and services.  They can even print off the labels to show what the buttons do for slotting into the handset.

The handsets are self-locating on your LAN.  Simply disconnect from the network in one location and plug in somewhere else - your extension, along with all the functions you had before goes with you.  There is even a 10MBPS port on the phone that you can use to attach your PC to the network if access ports are a limitation.

There are also 100MBPS phones, phones with Infra-red ports for synchronising with your PDA, and a basic phone to save cost when full functionality is not required.
