Aastra Unveils Advanced FMC Functionality in Intelligate 7.7
Aastra has added even further fixed mobile convergence (FMC) functionality to the latest version of its award-winning Ascotel IntelliGate telephone systems range for the Small and Medium Business (SMB) market.
Launched today, Ascotel IntelliGate 7.7 is designed to make complete integration of mobile phones into corporate networks as seamless and user-friendly as possible.
The Ascotel IntelliGate 7.7 includes a new dedicated client for Symbian mobile phones (such as the Nokia E-Series) enabling mobile access to the most popular features of a desk phone – such as conferencing, call transfer and even call back. One of the most innovative functions is the ‘take’ facility whereby users can seamlessly take over an active call from their desk phones with their mobile devices, or vice versa, if they need to move around, without the caller even being aware.
A growing mobile work force is driving demand for FMC, and it is important that employees are easily contactable in order to provide top-class customer service and enhanced collaboration. Ascotel IntelliGate 7.7 provides ‘One Number’ functionality ensuring members of staff can be reached effortlessly on a single number, no matter which devices they are using or whatever their location. It also offers shared directories
and call lists between Office deskphones, 2380i softphone or a GSM phone with the Aastra mobile client. The highly adaptable call routing capabilities of Ascotel IntelliGate 7.7 also include Least Cost Routing and ‘Personal Call Routing Profiles’ for calls made from the Aastra mobile client.
