Citel Announces Phonoscope to Offer Portico TVA VoIP Migration Equipment: TVA Accelerates Enterprise Migration to Hosted IP Telephony in
SEATTLE (BusinessWire EON) June 27, 2007 -- "Citel's Portico TVA is a valuable addition to Phonoscope's Hosted IP offering for enterprises because it eliminates many of the objections to VoIP migration," said Fran Will, vice president of Phonoscope. "We are thrilled to partner with Citel in accelerating Hosted VoIP adoption. This technology is going to allow Phonoscope to quickly penetrate Houston's enterprise telephony market."
The solution from Citel and Phonoscope delivers the features and functionality of VoIP without the disruption and expense associated with typical "rip and replace" VoIP migration solutions. With the Portico TVA, enterprises avoid network upgrades, new handsets, and retraining. PBX handsets connect over existing wiring directly to the Portico TVA, which connects to Phonoscope's network over Ethernet via the SIP protocol.
"Many enterprises are considering Hosted IP telephony for its cost savings, rich features, and simplicity, but they are hesitant to abandon their PBX handset and wiring investment," said Michael Burke, Citel's senior vice president. "With Phonoscope's long history in the access services business and their Asterisk-based Hosted IP platform, we believe the Citel solution will have a positive impact on their growth in the Houston market."
The Citel Portico TVA is available in digital, P phone, and analog compatible configurations. Portico TVA interoperates with more than 65 handset types, including Avaya Definity(R), NEC DTERM, Nortel Meridian(R), Norstar(R), and Centrex-compatible P phones, Panasonic DBS, and Toshiba Strata DK.
