Convenience for Customers, Opportunities for Providers
Hosted Unified Communications Services take the IP
private branch exchange (PBX) application out of the enterprise or small- and
midsize-business (SMB) premises and puts it in the service provider’s
data center. This allows business and remote offices to subscribe to the service
provider’s rich unified communications services while decreasing capital
outlays and ongoing operational support costs.
Cisco IP NGN Difference
The Cisco IP Next-Generation Network (NGN) architecture
provides critical network resources for Hosted Unified Communications including:
the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch, Cisco AS5000 media gateways, carrier-class IP
core network elements, the hosted Cisco Unified Communications Manager solution,
and a wide range of IP Phones and endpoints. Service providers can gain new
revenues by offering enterprise-quality hosted voice and unified communications
services, regardless of the end customer’s onsite IP communications expertise.
