| What
it does.
Originally engineered for data traffic, Internet Protocol
(IP) networks can also support real-time voice communications
with Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities that's competitive
with traditional voice-only telephony networks. Voice over
IP (VOIP) communications are therefore attractive to all businesses
and organizations for a number of reasons, not the least of
which is the economy and convenience of a single network for
voice and data traffic. The Versatile Telecommunications Unit
(VTU) Voice switch is a legacy enabled, highly scalable, and
leading edge converged full featured VOIP PBX. |

How it works.
If an evolutionary migration to VOIP is desired, the VTU Voice
switch can act as a traditional office phone system until
fully converged network capabilities are needed.
If an aggressive approach to VOIP adoption is required, VTU
Voice delivers full VOIP benefits immediately.
Organizations with multiple locations and branch offices of
larger corporations can enjoy full VOIP benefits by using
VTU Voice as a remote location solution.
Organizations requiring advanced customer contact and support
capability can achieve a next generation solution for enhanced
customer care through VTU Voice. VTU Voice isn't a scaled-down
large enterprise communications system. It's a complete solution,
designed for the priorities of all sized enterprises.
VTU Voice is cost-effective. With the option to combine voice,
data, and essential business applications on a single VTU
Voice network, VTU Voice significantly lowers network fees
associated with traditional multiple-network arrangements.
VTU Voice is easy to own. One vendor, one package, one system
administration tool, and one solution that are compatible
with Microsoft desktops and traditional office telephony make
VTU Voice even easier to deploy and learn. EMW quality and
training make your introduction to the world of converged
communications hassle free.
VTU Voice leverages existing telecom investments. Compatible
with traditional telephony, it's also the only VOIP solution
that provides a migration path to a VOIP-capable system for
any existing legacy PBX system through Q.Sig protocol. VTU
Voice is a simple, cost-effective solution that offers full
VOIP benefits today and initiates the acquisition of technology
and knowledge organizations depend on as they grow. The modular
architecture of VTU Voice allows growing organizations to
deploy new modules and features in a quick, economical manner
and leverages additional converged applications utilizing
video, data and voice communications.
