Meet Sangoma’s New Entry-Level IP Desk Phone

The new Sangoma s206 IP desk phone is now in stock and available to purchase from ProVu. As the direct replacement for the s205, this new phone offers an enhanced device with support for 2 SIP accounts and an upgraded processor with OPUS codec support.

What’s more, Sangoma IP phones can be quickly and easily set-up to work out-of-the-box when used with FreePBX and PBXact UC systems. The redirection server automatically points the phones to the Sangoma FreePBX and PBXact UC system for configuration, enabling you to easily control phone settings through Sangoma’s Endpoint Manager software, which is automatically enabled when using any of Sangoma’s VoIP phones.

Introduction to IP Paging & Alerting Solutions by Algo

Why expand your portfolio to IP paging and alerting?

It’s easy! If you’re already selling IP handsets this is a great way for you to expand and offer your customer a broader solution. With everything running on VoIP, the set up is simple and all configurable remotely through a web interface.

Within the Algo range you have IP alerters which can be used as loud ringers, security and notification alerting. Whatever the site, whether it’s a warehouse, retail, education or even outdoors, Algo has a speaker designed for you. From a standard small indoor loud ringer, to an IP66 rated horn speaker or even a discretely designed ceiling speaker, here you will find something to suit your requirements.

If you are looking for an alerting device but don’t want audio you can make use of Algo’s visual alerter which is provided with various colour options, multiple flash patterns and intensity levels all of which are designed to give you the flexibility you need to make your solution just right.

Algo’s IP paging solution is also just as simple, sitting between your platform/PBX and speakers, the paging adaptor acts as its own little server. You have the functionality to schedule announcements, play music, make emergency announcements and more.

In addition, Algo’s paging solution enables the transformation of existing analogue systems into an IP paging solution. Simply keep the existing amps and speakers and use the IP paging adaptor to speak to the PBX. With the added flexibility of being able to accommodate zoned paging, you should find you’ve got all options here to put together the solution you need.

We recently conducted a webinar discussing Algo’s IP Paging and Alerting Solutions. If you missed out on the day, not to worry, you can catch up on the recording below.

What’s New? 3CX V16 & Pricing

With less than a week to go until the launch of 3CX’s V16, 3CX are inviting partners to join their Live Launch Session at 15:00 on Wednesday 27th March, simply head over to their YouTube Channel on Wednesday to find out more about the much anticipated version update.

New Pricing

As part of their revamp, 3CX implemented a new pricing structure last week. The new pricing saw reductions of up to 40%, making many licences become more competitively priced. Please note, however, the pricing of some perpetual licences has now increased.

4 & 8 Seat Licences

Licences for anything below 16 sc are now only available as annual licences. Customers who currently have 4 and 8 sc licences on a perpetual basis can continue to renew their maintenance or upgrade to 16 sc.

Automatic Updates

In order to maintain the same license features on V16 commercial standard keys will be upgraded to professional. If you do not wish to upgrade to V16 or to be upgraded to a professional licence, please disable automatic updates on the PBX now.

If you would like to speak to a member of our team about 3CX and how these changes may affect you, please call 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.
