Information intéressante concernant l'intéropérabilité de nouveaux téléphones DECT pour Lync Server 2010:
Aastra SIP-DECT Phones Certified with NET SmartSIP
Award-winning mobility solution now available for Microsoft® Lync™ customers
Los Angeles, CA (Microsoft WPC) July 11, 2011 -
Aastra, a leading company at the forefront of the enterprise
communication market, today announced they have successfully completed
interoperability testing with SmartSIP 2.0 for Microsoft® Lync™ Server
2010 from Network Equipment Technologies (NET). This interoperability
allows Aastra’s award winning SIP-DECT mobility solution and broad
portfolio of standards based SIP phones, to be used as voice endpoints
on Microsoft® Lync™.
NET’s SmartSIP 2.0 is a software application that provides Lync voice
interoperability for SIP devices. The application also includes
functionality for determining presence for SIP devices inside Microsoft
Lync environments. SmartSIP 2.0 extends enterprises’ existing SIP
endpoints, and enables 802.11 WiFi and DECT wireless devices to be used
in conjunction with Microsoft Lync.
“The combination of SmartSIP 2.0 with Aastra’s SIP-DECT products
delivers an enterprise-grade mobility solution for organizations
deploying Lync,” said Tim Whittington, Executive Vice President and
General Manager, Aastra USA Inc. “SIP-DECT provides much greater
flexibility and mobility for those enterprises while enabling them to
still take advantage of presence and other productivity tools desired in
a Unified Communications implementation.”
Aastra’s SIP-DECT handsets operate just as any other SIP endpoint on the
IP network, but provide the added mobility necessary in many industries
such as healthcare, retail, hospitality, and distribution/logistics.
One of the primary advantages of DECT technology over WiFi is that it
operates in its own spectrum so that it doesn’t compete for bandwidth
with other devices, resulting in better quality and security through
special encryption algorithms. Another big advantage is that DECT
requires considerably less power than Wi-Fi so DECT phones have
muchlonger talk and standby times. Aastra’s SIP-DECT is also highly
scalable and includes a variety of handsets to suit a range of business
requirements.
