 Conclusion
The converged network will continue to become a more critical source of an enterprise's
competitiveness. Network initiatives need to support specific business goals that reduce
the cost of doing business, increase business productivity, and improve customer service.
With network access and physical convergence of voice and data services over IP, virtual
tie lines, enterprise tie lines, multiple-system networking, and Voice over IP (VoIP) are
now achievable in one combined Toshiba solution. Toshiba Strata CTX, Strata DK, and Strata
CS users can go from simply transmitting all of their traffic over the same physical link,
to encapsulating all of their traffic into the same protocol (IP) for transmission.
By delivering a broad array of voice and data services through the same protocol platform,
companies avoid the complexities and expense of using different providers and different
devices to deploy these services. Unlike other systems that require an external gateway
between the PBX and router to handle VoIP, Toshiba's integrated interface cards provides
direct conversion between telephones and IP trunks, eliminating the need to configure
multiple devices.
Based on and providing capabilities that seamlessly bridge Strata business
telecommunication systems, telephones, and fax machines with digital data networks,
organizations can more fully exploit their existing intranet and Internet facilities.
Since communications take place over a digital data network, the reduction or possible
elimination of long distance costs for voice communications over conventional telephone
networks.
What's the conclusion? Stick with Toshiba. We know where IP technology and business
communication systems are going. We provide the solutions today to get you there safely,
and Toshiba has an evolving product strategy to keep you moving in the right direction in
the future.
IP Enabling Strata CTX and Strata DK Digital
Telephone Systems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiba’s product line of IP-ready Strata CTX and Strata DK digital business
communication systems can be IP-enabled in various ways.
VoIP gateways enable voice and fax calls between your main office and branch offices to be
carried via the Internet or your private intranet, reducing long-distance toll charges
between these locations.
Branch office extender products enable both individuals and groups of remote users to be
connected to the host telephone system, using digital telephone extensions with the same
functionality as local digital extension users. Connection to the remote site may be by
analog CO line, BRI, T1, frame relay, or an IP network.
Toshiba's IP station card for Strata CTX systems occupies a cabinet slot and supports up
to 16 IP telephones per card. The Toshiba IP telephone emulates the functionality, look,
and feel of the 3000-series digital telephones, including Off-hook Call Announce through
the handset.
Toshiba will offer cost-effective migration of Strata CTX equipment and digital telephones
into an IP-PBX system for those who wish to take advantage of this type of solution.
Strata CTX systems also provide other ways to meet the needs of distributed
configurations.
For campus type configurations, in which buildings are spread over a contiguous area,
remote expansion cabinets connected to the base cabinet via fiber optic cables enable the
total system to be spread over a much wider area.
For locations that are even more spread out, QSIG networking enables multiple Strata CTX
systems to work together as one integrated system no matter where they are located. QSIG
networking can be accomplished over IP networks using routers.
By IP enabling your telephone system to carry voice traffic over your existing data
network, you are able to make maximum use of your existing data network infrastructure. In
many cases, no additional network infrastructure equipment is required.
