Samsung OfficeServ 7000 Series
OfficeServ 7000
The Samsung OfficeServ systems combine voice, data and wireless communications in a single platform; supports analogue, digital and IP telephony; and is modular and fully scalable so that customers can make the transition to fully converged communications at their own speed. The models in the series support between 4 and 480 users, but these can be linked together to support tens of thousands of extensions across multiple sites. Because all models use the same software and handsets, as well as sharing many of the interface modules, businesses can retain existing equipment as they grow their system, providing a consistent look while keeping costs low.
The OfficeServ 7000 series is ideal for businesses of all sizes whatever their communication needs or budget. A customer with basic telephony requirements can be confident that if requirements change they will be able to connect home workers to the system over broadband or dedicated network links; add SIP trunks for low-cost calls; or incorporate branch offices with a unified numbering plan and free calls between sites. By the same token, a customer who wants to take advantage of IP telephony from the outset but has a limited budget. can keep installation costs down by using existing digital handsets with the OfficeServ phone system and gradually introduce more functional IP phones as needs dictate or budgets allow.
SIP compliance (Session Initiation Protocol)
Compliance with the SIP standard for interoperability lets Samsung phone system users take advantage of collaboration solutions that combine voice, data and video over IP networks.
Session Initiation Protocol, or SIP, is a signalling protocol that addresses the setting up, processing and ending of calls over IP networks. It applies to every element involved in the call process – handset/softphone, application, telephone system, IP gateway, server – and ensures business-class voice and data communications over IP networks.
SIP compliance indicates that Samsung phone systems and IP gateways are able to communicate with any other SIP device or software application from any manufacturer.
SIP Trunks
Further gains come from using SIP trunks to make outgoing calls over service providers’ data networks rather than ISDN. As well as offering low cost calls, SIP trunks can be quickly scaled up or down depending on capacity requirements and provide enhanced business continuity as, in the event of a disaster, calls can be re-routed anywhere there is a network connection.
