We are pleased to announce our launch of the new Sangoma PBXact UC phone systems! These systems offer fully featured, commercially supported communication solutions for 10 to 5000 users / endpoints.

Sangoma PBXact UC comes pre-loaded with many advanced commercial features including Call Recording Reports, Conference Pro and Voicemail Reports.

PBXact UC is designed to work seamlessly with all Sangoma IP phones, offering a collection of phone applications which allow users to control functions and settings directly from the screen of their phone. The Sangoma phones also offer zero-touch installation, once plugged in the phones will automatically detect the system and provision themselves.

 

If you would like to discuss these new systems please email contact@provu.co.uk or call us on 01484 840048. We have a webinar coming up on the 29th and 30th of June to help introduce the range, to register please visit www.provu.co.uk/webinar-pbxact-introduction.

Seamless Paging Integration between Algo and Polycom

We launched the Algo 8188 SIP Ceiling Speaker back in January which joined our expanding range of Algo paging and alerting devices. This SIP ceiling speaker can integrate natively with Polycom™ Group Page for overhead announcements.

The 8188 provides additional coverage in common areas or where sound reinforcement is needed, like classrooms, lobbies or hallways. The 8188 can also be configured to join Polycom paging groups or zones.

Polycom Group Page has no dependency on a SIP server and therefore the 8188 also integrates seamlessly with Skype™ for Business/Lync™.

 

SIP Initiated Group Paging
Polycom VVX phone calling Algo 8180 SIP alerter which simultaneously launches a local Polycom Group Page.

Algo paging endpoints have multicast broadcast capability. While paging or alerting, they can simultaneously multicast over the network.

Gigaset SL400H End of Life Notice

Gigaset SL400H End of Life Notice

The Gigaset SL400H DECT handset is now an end of life product. We predict our current stock levels to last until approximately mid June; when we do run out of stock, there will be no further supplies available.

Whilst there is no direct replacement for this model, we would recommend the Gigaset SL750H which offers a very similar range of features and a comparable trade price. For more information, please see the SL750H webpage.

Pricing and stock information can be found on our reseller portal, ProSys.

New firmware for the 2n Indoor Touch unit

2n have recently released firmware version 2.0 for the Indoor Touch communicator system.

We have been testing this all week and are happy with it. What we like best about it are:

  • Addition of a web interface for remote management, simpler management & diagnostics
  • Fix for IP stack (caused units to lose IP address in some circumstances)
  • Video-voicemail system built-in for when you are not available to answer the door

Full release notes and a download for this firmware can be found on the Indoor Touch product page

Gigaset N510IP PRO firmware release

Gigaset have released a new firmware update for the N510IP-PRO DECT base station.

A summary of the most interesting features is:

  • Support for new handsets such as R650H-PRO
  • Over-the-air software updates for newer PRO handsets (previously this was only ever possible using a USB cable and special software and generally was never carried out)
  • Distinctive ringing using Alert-Info headers
  • LDAP directory works during a call for easier transfers

 

Full information including upgrade instructions are on the Gigaset Pro wiki
