Alcatel Introduces Enterprise IP Communications Platform

Alcatel introduced a new IP telephony communications platform for enterprises. The Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise features Linux-based communication manager software that operates on off-the-shelf Linux servers or integrated Alcatel blade servers. It also offers a suite of media gateways addressing all configuration sizes from branch offices to large campuses. Alcatel said its platform provides for an enterprise-wide implementation of SIP and supports a smooth evolution path for enterprises requiring blended IP and TDM solutions. It uses XML for web service development and VXML for voice-enabled web applications. Later this year, Alcatel also plans to introduce a Unified Communication Platform that includes unified messaging, personal routing, personal assistant and collaborative working services.
