A Unified Communications Solution or “Office-in-a-box” that Provides All the Phone and Internet Communication Services a Small and Medium Size Business needs.
The edgeBOX provides a full business phone system (IP-PBX), plus email, web, fax, security,
calendar, contact directory, and much more out of a single appliance that can be managed
remotely through an easy-to-use interface.
Big Business Communication and Phone System at an SMB Price Point!
As a small or medium business you increasingly need reliable and advanced communications
(telephony and internet) services to thrive in a highly competitive market. You need to
be always connected with your customers and employees and
are expected to provide no less than excellent customer service.
You need a communication solution that provides a competitive
edge!
edgeBOX provides a communication solution for small businesses
that was previously only available to big businesses at
big business prices. The cost of an edgeBOX is a fraction of the cost of the 4 to 6 standalone
devices that it replaces. Plus, the cost of ownership is an estimated 60% less due to the simplified
installation and management that can be taken care of by non-IT staff. The entry-level
edgeBOX (Office) supports up to 10 users and scales with the edgeBOX Enterprise to support
up to 300 users.
No More "Rats Nests" And Communication Nightmares. Gain a Competitive Edge!
Today, in order to address their business communication needs, many firms end up buying
stacks of equipment from different vendors and providers.
The stack typically includes a business phone system, an internet router for connecting to the
internet and a server for file sharing. Wireless (WiFi) access is also needed, and for security
reasons, a firewall and a Virtual Private Network for telecommuters and branch offices. Email
and web access need to be protected by antispam, antivirus and content filtering. Many firms
also need shared contacts, calendars and tasks that can be synced with mobile devices as
well ask desktops.
Adding all the equipment needed to provide these services soon turns into a nightmare to
manage, requiring expensive support, leaving you exposed to security vulnerabilities, and
requiring you to spend all your time dealing with multiple suppliers. With edgeBOX, all communication
services are integrated in a single, reliable device that is easy to use, easy to
manage and scalable. Equipment costs decrease to one-third and costs of maintenance to
less than a half that of multi-device solutions and edgeBOX is future proof since it updates
itself transparently through the internet as more features become available.
Another advantage is that a VoIP Phone system shares the same existing ethernet network used
by computers in the office, therefore reducing the costs of cabling and making adds/moves/
changes much easier.
One common concern about VoIP is quality and reliability. The edgeBOX addresses that concern
by providing fallback connection to the PSTN (Public switched telephony network) so if the internet
connection goes down, calls are routed transparently through the landline. The EdgeBOX can
also be configured to use VoIP selectively for certain calls, such as intra-office (for free), branch
office (for free), and international calls (at reduced rates).
