Opening the Lines.....

Aspire™ from NEC allows you to converge your voice and data network and enjoy the many advantages of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) while enjoying the hundreds of features you've come to expect from traditional digital/analog switching.  Best of all, the Aspire is easy to use.

Aspire lets your organization benefit from the potential cost-saving advantages of IP even if you're not ready to migrate to 100% IP Telephony immediately. That's because Aspire gives you a choice: You can deploy traditional circuit-switched technology, VoIP or a combination, all from one system! You have the freedom to adopt VoIP when and where you need it.

Aspire provides Peer-to-Peer IP switching. “Peer-to-Peer” switching means that the stations participating in a call are connected directly to each other through the IP network. The signals travel through the IP network but do not “go through” the switch as they do in traditional telephony.

The fact that Aspire can function in and support a “hybrid” network with traditional digital/analog switching, IP/TDM/IP switching and pure Peer-to-Peer IP switching means that users can continue to utilize their existing equipment while they begin to phase in IP Telephony and lay the foundation for current and future networks.

Using Aspire you can reduce the cost of business by:

•  Reduced Costs of Peer-to-Peer IP Connectivity;

•  Maintaining one network rather than two;

•  Bypass the long distance carrier by sending voice calls over the data network;

•  Single cable termination to the desktop;

•  Reduced brick and mortar expenses by deploying main office features to remote personnel.

ASPIRE™ BENEFITS

Voice over IP (VoIP) capability with the Aspire S allows you to place voice calls over the data network. VoIP reduces long distance charges by using IP to connect multiple office locations and telecommuters. Remote workers also have access to main office features, such as voice mail, allowing offices to operate as a single unit.

Voice mail integration in the Aspire S provides sophisticated features that save time and money.

Return Call with Caller ID saves caller ID information for inside- and outside-originated calls.

Answering Machine Emulation is helpful when you are waiting for an important call. It lets you listen while a caller is leaving a message for you.

Message Center Keys allow two people sharing the same phone to have their own message-waiting key. Each person can see if he/she has new messages.

Conversation Record saves and records your conversation into your mailbox with the touch of a button.

Park and Page allows a caller to page you before leaving a message. You can pick up the call from any station.

Cordless phones keep employees connected while away from their desk. Aspire provides a variety of mobility solutions to connect your whole campus or just your office.

System Maintenance allows for online HTML-based programming access either onsite or over the Internet. Using browser software simplifies the process for changing names or speed-dial settings. Special PC software is available for off-line programming and remote access by modem.

Call Logging saves information about incoming and outgoing calls. Logged calls can be redialed or saved to speed dial.

The Automatic Route Selection (ARS) system in the Aspire S decides whether to place a call with a long distance carrier, over IP or, if allowed, a local trunk. You specify how you want your calls to be routed.

E911 Compatibility identifies the origination of an E911 call so emergency services can reach the specific extension location quickly.
