“SMBs are increasingly aware
that IP communications is
the only road to fully take
advantage of various forms
of communications applica-
tions and UC technologies. IP
and open IP standards, such
as Asterisk Open Source and
SIP, allow businesses to inter-
operate with a larger array of
third-party applications and
solutions to foster a true uni-
fied multi-media, multi-party,
and multi-device communi-
cations environment for bet-
ter productivity and end user
experience.The availability of
cost-effective and feature-rich
single server solutions, such
as Grandstream’s UCM6100
series IP PBX appliance, fa-
cilitates the decision of many
SMBs to migrate to IP com-
munications, while providing
a get-started solution for UC
implementations.”
