IP-Centric Platform Serves Small- and Mid-size Customers
TEMPE, Ariz., June 13 -- Inter-Tel, Incorporated (NASDAQ:INTL), a leading provider of voice and data communications for businesses, has announced the availability of the Inter-Tel CS-5600, an IP-centric communications platform that can support up to 250 IP endpoints along with 96 digital and analog devices. The Inter-Tel(R) CS-5600 is the latest addition to the family of Inter-Tel(R) 5000 Network Communications Solutions, which includes the Inter-Tel(R) CS-5200 and Inter-Tel(R) CS-5400. Both of these platforms were released in 2005.
"We are extremely pleased to expand on the success of the Inter-Tel 5000 family of IP communications platforms with the addition of the Inter-Tel CS-5600," said Craig W. Rauchle, president and chief operating officer for Inter-Tel. "Both the Inter-Tel CS-5200 and Inter-Tel CS-5400 have been embraced by customers as a cost-effective means to leverage the benefits of Voice over IP technology. We feel that larger businesses will be equally impressed with both the technology and economics behind the Inter-Tel CS-5600. It offers a compelling combination of reliability, scalability and value to customers who are seeking advanced technology as a means to improve business performance."
Built on a Linux operating system, the Inter-Tel CS-5600 has a dual 1U form factor and is designed to fit into standard data racks. The system has built-in networking and offers three modular bays for trunks. It supports up to 250 IP devices per site, along with 96 analog and digital phones through an optional digital expansion interface.
Built on the same base chassis as the other servers in the 5000 family, the Inter-Tel CS-5600 is designed to interoperate with Inter-Tel's advanced IP-powered applications such as presence management, collaboration, messaging and mobility, and supports Inter-Tel's existing line of IP and multi-modal endpoints. As companies grow in size, existing Inter-Tel 5000 customers can easily upgrade to the CS-5600 without their previous communications investment becoming obsolete.
"The Inter-Tel CS-5600 provides much more than just IP transport technology," noted Jeff Ford, Inter-Tel's chief technology officer. "This platform delivers the scalability, flexibility and reliability that today's businesses require. Most of all, it was designed to allow businesses to leverage advanced applications that can help maximize both productivity and efficiency."
