With its networking capability thesystem is particularly well suited for companies that operate in several locations.Coverage can even be extended to the smallest branch offices at low cost.Voice communication technology is currently undergoing a major leap forward.New technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP) are also used in small and medium-sized companies. A modern communications system must offer the customer theoption of implementing the new technology or continuing to rely on conventionaltelephony. Migrating from conventional to VoIP, with the possibility of using a mixof both technologies, must be possible at all times.And that is precisely one of the main strengths of Ascotel® IntelliGate®.
