LG-Ericsson Rolls Out Business-Enabled Communications System

LG-Ericsson USA has unveiled a new product in its line of business communications solutions to support the broad-spectrum voice, video and data communications management, the LG-Ericsson iPECS-MG Business-Enabled Communications System.

The new iPECS-MG system delivers the functionality of a traditional private branch exchange (PBX) with the addition of productivity-enhancing features like unified communications (UC) for conferencing, voice and video, data collaboration, remote and roaming user support and scalability, the company said.

As a hybrid system, the iPECS-MG supports complete traditional time division multiplexing (TDM) solutions as well as mixed deployments consisting of both Internet Protocol (IP) and TDM extensions. Scalable and extensible, each on-site iPECS-MG server supports up to 414 ports, and as many as 250 devices can be networked across multiple locations to support large numbers of local or remote users across a campus, across the country, and globally.

As a stand-alone solution, the iPECS-MG can be combined with a full range of LG-Ericsson voice and data products and accessories to create a complete converged business communications system.

For data communications, LG-Ericsson's portfolio includes  Ethernet switches for high-speed data transfer, secure Internet access, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Quality of Service (QoS), and Power over Ethernet (PoE). The solution is tied together by the LG-Ericsson Network Management Solution, a software tool that facilitates centralized configuration and monitoring of all connected devices, both on-premises and remote.

"LG-Ericsson has a long history of providing high-quality technology for data communications and telephony solutions for the SMB market," said Iain Kenney, LG-Ericsson USA's director of product marketing, in a statement. "The new iPECS-MG builds on our field-proven technologies and architecture, as well as on our understanding of the core small and medium-sized business (SMB) priorities: simplification, flexibility, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. A highly reliable, extensible, and feature-rich business telephony platform that integrates public switched telephone network (PSTN), IP and mobile networks cleanly, simply and in a way that's supremely easy to use, the new iPECS-MG quite simply meets SMB priorities to improve productivity."
