Aspire™ from NEC allows you to converge your voice and data network
and enjoy the many advantages of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
while enjoying the hundreds of features you've come to expect from traditional
digital/analog switching.
Aspire lets your organization benefit from
the potential cost-saving advantages of IP
even if you're not ready to migrate to 100%
IP Telephony immediately. That's because Aspire
gives you a choice: You can deploy traditional
circuit-switched technology, VoIP or a combination,
all from one system! You have the freedom to
adopt VoIP when and where you need it.
Aspire provides peer-to-peer IP switching. “Peer-to-peer” switching
means that the stations participating in a
call are connected directly to each other through
the IP network. The signals travel through
the IP network but do not “go through” the
switch as they do in traditional telephony.
The fact that Aspire can function in and support
a “hybrid” network with traditional
digital/analog switching, IP/TDM/IP switching
and pure peer-to-peer IP switching means that
users can continue to utilize their existing
equipment while they begin to phase in IP Telephony
and lay the foundation for current and future
networks.
Using Aspire you can reduce the cost of business
by:
Reduced Costs of Peer-to-Peer IP Connectivity
Maintaining one network rather than two
Bypass the long distance carrier by sending
voice calls over the data network
Single cable termination to the desktop
Reduced brick and mortar expenses by deploying
main office features to remote personnel
