NEC America Adds Resiliency for Enterprise VoIP

NEC America introduced several new enterprise voice products:

  • a new NEAX 2000 IPS-DMR communications platform, which is a new remote component for NEC's NEAX 2000 IPS and NEAX IPS-DM mid-range VoIP systems. It offers a unique remote survivability function that automatically connects to the public network should the IP network connection with the central site be interrupted. The DMR essentially converts a remote office to a standalone system until the IP network is restored.


  • a new "Dterm" IP phone featuring a failover adapter that provides immediate connectivity to the public network if the corporate IP network is down or should a power failure occur. A manual control is also available to switch between the central office trunk and IP network control if desired.


New software expected later this summer for NEC's large enterprise NEAX 2400 IPX platform will add automatic and transparent failover for Dterm IP phones to an alternate controller in the WAN or LAN, restoring essential services and features.
