The easy to use Aspire S from NEC is a smaller version of the Aspire system. Intended for offices of less than (30) stations, Aspire S 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. Aspire S 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 S 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. What is Peer-to-Peer Switching? Aspire S 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 S 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 S 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.
The Aspire S can be part of a multi-site Aspire network. Smaller remote offices can be connected by VoIP technology to the main office for ease of inter-company communications. The Aspire S offers an integrated voice mail system called IntraMail in two sizes: (4) port/(4) hour and (8) port/(8) hour. Both systems support up to (152) mailboxes and offer interactive soft key operation on the display telephones. IntraMail's integrated features include: Automated Attendant - helps incoming calls be answered and routed quickly and efficiently; Fax Detection - maximizes use of your telephone lines; Conversation Record - lets you record a conversation when your note-taking skills aren't quite fast enough; Answering Machine Emulation - lets you screen and filter calls before you answer; Caller ID with Return Call - makes it as easy as pressing one key to call back a person who left you a voice mail message.

ASPIRE™ S BENEFITS Aspire's Voice over IP (VoIP) capability 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. AspireMail, an optional digitally linked in-switch voice mail, 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. Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) distributes calls evenly among member agents and provides initial and repetitive announcements that encourage callers to remain online. Callers can leave a message if they choose to receive a callback from an agent. Optional PC-based Supervisor with Reports can be used for agent scheduling. Wireless/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. Aspire's Automatic Route Selection (ARS) system 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. |
