ADTRAN Broadens VoIP Phone Portfolio

Four new IP phones have been added to ADTRAN, Inc.'s VoIP portfolio. The new phones include the VVX 300, VVX 310, VVX 400 and VVX 410, and have been made for the purpose of being more intuitive for users, and can be distributed on existing hosted or on-premise VoIP networks.

A characteristic of the VVX 300 is the six-line phone, which has been made for use on low-to-moderate call load extensions which, according to ADTRAN, is a good entry-level phone. The VVX 400 features a 12-line phone and is suitable for call center employees that may need their call numbers to be managed and organised. The VVX 310 and 410 have a Gigabyte Ethernet internet functionality, and all phones are easy to distribute and maintain, with a "zero-touch" provisioning feature.

ADTRAN's Director of Product Management for Enterprise Networks Division, Bob Locklear, said: "ADTRAN's unique market position in both UC call control for the premises and IP business gateways for hosted voice services gives us unique insight into our customer's communications needs. Combined with flexible deployment options, these new endpoints can reach more customers and add to a complete IP phone portfolio that meets the needs of today's unified communications applications."

According to the company, three expansion packs can be supported by the VVX 300 and 400 series, and this can include the extra 40 programmable key lines or 28 bi-color lines to the device. Polycom technology is also featured on all of the phones, and this allows for interactivity with third-party web apps. (CY) Link
