GOTHENBURG, Sweden, February 20, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
?- Optimizes interoperability with Siemens call servers further
At the end of December 2011 Ascom Wireless Solutions and Siemens Enterprises on-going
collaboration to optimize interoperability between the companies' products rendered Ascom
an OpenScape Ready certification. The Ascom i62 handset has been thoroughly tested on
Siemens UC platform OpenScape Voice to ensure superior voice quality, trouble-free
interoperability and scalability.
Ascom initially became a "Siemens Advanced Partner in the wireless technology segment"
in 2008 via the Ascom i75 handset - certified for both the converged IP communications
platform HiPath 4000 and OpenScape Voice. Now, officially tested for use on the new open
interface SIP platform OpenScape Voice V5, the succeeding Ascom i62 model has reached the
same level of interoperability.
"This marks the next step in our mutual efforts to offer the best possible customer
experience. And we are proud to become a full and optimized supplier to both of Siemens'
call servers for large and medium sized clients," says Henrik Sandberg, Product Manager
Interoperability at Ascom Wireless Solutions.
The joint certification process ensures interoperability for the Ascom i62 VoWiFi
handset on 802.11n networks, and Siemens OpenScape Voice V5 architecture, ensuring clear
business-critical communications for all users.
"This is great news for any organization using a Siemens Enterprise Communications
platform, regardless if it's the popular HiPath 4000 or the new OpenScape Voice. Combined
with the Ascom i62 handset users can rest assured that they will be in constant control
through seamless voice over WiFi (VoWiFi), and instant data transmission, throughout every
part of their facilities. In the healthcare segment, which currently houses most of our
clients, this means peace of mind for both staff and patients," says Henrik Sandberg,
Product Manager, Ascom Wireless Solutions.
As one of the first-ever VoWiFi handsets to operate on 802.11n networks, the Ascom i62
offers unique capabilities such as superior interoperability with most enterprise-grade
WiFi network suppliers, optimized integration and state-of-the-art administrative
efficiency. By deploying it over Siemens OpenScape Voice V5 platform customers can realize
the benefits of seamless connectivity and reliable wireless coverage - putting real-time
information in the hands of users.
