Features include scalability from 50 to 50,000 users, innovative telephone headsets, high reliability, one-number mobility, unified messaging, voice-over IP networking with quality service management, a Web-based customer contact center and integrated voice and data network management.

 

Entirely based on a client/server UNIX architecture, the OmniPX 4400 demonstrates a commitment to open systems. The strength of this open architecture is its ability to integrate easily with networking infrastructure and application technologies from any supplier committed to open standards.
