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

Interoperability
Both Snom and Yealink handsets have been fully certified for use with FreePBX. And at the start of June 2016 we will be launching a brand new series of Sangoma VoIP phones: The S300, S500 and S700. These phones will allow for zero-touch provisioning and will provide free and automatically enabled access to the FreePBX EndPoint Manager.
The Sangoma FreePBX systems are available for special order from ProVu. If you do not have a reseller account and would like to register, please complete our reseller account form.
Following recent interoperability testing, it has today been announced that VTech IP phone models have now been added to Xorcom’s Endpoint Manager, an auto-provisioning tool in their Complete PBX IP-PBX systems. The tool allows automatic provisioning and hassle-free management of VTech IP phones within the PBX interface.
After successful completion of functionality and usability testing, the entire range of Snom IP telephones has been certified for full interoperability with the FreePBX platform. This certification means the FreePBX Project engineering and development teams have tested Snom endpoints for functionality and usability within the FreePBX platform and EndPoint Manager.
Frederic Dickey, Sangoma Technologies VP of Marketing, stated: “FreePBX is all about freedom of choice for business communications systems. The addition of Snom’s phones to the list of supported endpoints in the EndPoint Manager module confirms our approach to the market. EndPoint Manager enables easy provisioning and management of supported endpoints directly from within the FreePBX Administrative GUI, saving a great deal of time in the implementation of systems.”

Back in June 2015 we launched the Panasonic KX-TGP600 DECT phone system. Replacing the popular KX-TGP500, this new DECT base and handset expands on the great features of its predecessor and offers a host of additional benefits.
Presenting the same features as the KX-TGP500, the KX-TGP600 offers a more powerful solution and with the additional option to use the KX-TPA65 DECT desk phone users can enjoy the full features of a desk phone without the presence of a wired LAN. The KX-TGP600 offers the ideal solution for both business and home use.
Pricing and stock information is available on our reseller portal, ProSys. If you do not have access to ProSys and would like to register for an account, please complete our ProSys account request form.

As of April 2016 BT Openreach have changed their FTTC installation process. This has meant they no longer supply or install their modem for FTTC connections. Service providers now need to supply VDSL2 modems that connect to the BT phone socket.
Due to popular demand we have added two Technicolor routers to our portfolio that have BT Wholesale approval.
These are the TG588v v2 and the TG589vac. Both routers support ADSL2+, VDSL and are ideal for Fibre to the Cabinet scenarios. The TG589vac also features IEEE 802.11ac wireless standard for the 5 GHz band, enabling even higher throughput and better Wi-Fi coverage.
The TG589vac also features a dedicated Gigabit Ethernet WAN port and 4 Gigabit Ethernet LAN Ports where as the TG588v v2 features 4 Fast Ethernet LAN Ports.
We offer a router set-up service for our resellers. For a small charge we can pre-provision either generic or customer specific settings to your routers prior to despatch. This enables fast and smooth installation at your customer’s site.
We have been given an end of life notice from Gigaset for their DE IP desk phone series. We are running low on stock of the DE310, DE410, DE700 and DE900 IP models. When we do run out of our current stock there will be no further supplies available. Current stock levels can be seen on ProSys.
If you have any queries or would like to discuss how these changes may effect any projects you are working on, please call the sales team on: 01484 840048 or you can email: contact@provu.co.uk.
