Samsung Business Communication Systems (BCS) announces the OfficeServ 7100 IP platform, a new member of the OfficeServ communications system family to become available in early summer 2007. OfficeServ 7100 targets smaller businesses with the same feature package, IP technologies and telephone set options as its predecessors, OfficeServ 7400 (1,344 ports) introduced in 2006 and OfficeServ 7200 (192 ports) introduced in October 2005. For multi-site businesses, OfficeServ 7100 networks to other 7100 systems and other OfficeServ systems (via SPNET over IP or Qsig over PRI). And, customers who experience growth at a later date can affordably migrate from the OfficeServ 7100 to one of the larger systems since features and operation are the same.

Designed for small enterprises and home offices, the OfficeServ 7100 is a single, compact -œoffice in a box- that is pre-configured for simple installation. Default programming sets up four CO lines and eight stations, expandable in four port increments up to a maximum of 24 trunks and 32 stations and four voicemail ports. The 4-port voicemail and auto attendant application is embedded on the Main Processor card, as well as eight Media Gateway Interface channels to support VoIP functions (IP telephones, IP networking and IP trunking - SIP or H.323). An additional 16 MGI channels can also be added.

Like the earlier OfficeServ systems, the 7100 supports all Samsung keysets, including earlier iDCS series equipment and the relatively new ITP-5100 series of VoIP keysets, OfficeServ Softphone and DS-5000 series digital phones, as well as the Samsung wireless Internet handset that operates over dual-band wireless Access Points (IEEE 802.11a and 801.11b/g WLAN technologies).

OfficeServ 7100 will be sold in prepackaged sets or in individual parts.
