Sprint Rolls Out VoIP Evolution Strategy for PBX Family

Sprint announced a VoIP migration strategy for its Sprint-branded Coral PBX product line. VoIP enhancements enable the PBX to provide transparent voice networking to link multiple PBXs over managed IP networks regionally, nationally or internationally using the QSIG standard. The Coral system also provides IP telephony to the desktop and allows remote locations to connect to the main PBX using IP telephones. Sprint plans to introduce the Flex IP Softphone, which is a Microsoft Windows client software application that allows any desktop or laptop PC on the LAN or WAN to become an IP station terminal. The IP softphone integrates with Microsoft Outlook. Near year's end, Sprint expects to roll out a server-based Coral IP system with voice, data and video support, network connectivity to existing Coral systems, gateways to the PSTN and support for H.323, SIP, and MGCP IP protocols.
