Zultys Unveils New Family of VoIP Phones


TMCnet Contributing Editor
 
Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Zultys Technologies announced on Monday that it unveiled four new VoIP phones to complement its suite of wired and wireless phones. The new models vary in price and features, have a completely new design and offer a set of choices for customers.


 
The ZIP 4x4L and the ZIP 4x5L have graphical monochrome LCDs. The ZIP 4x4B and ZIP 4x5B have graphical color LCDs, a USB port, and Bluetooth to support wireless headsets and the BTC conference phone that Zultys previously released.

 
The ZIP 4x4L is a good choice for business owners seeking a fully functional phone for the office. The ZIP 4x5L is a good choice for remote workers because it is comprised of a complete router with VPN, NAT, firewall, and DHCP server.
 
The phone also has an analog port to provide local PSTN telephony services allowing remote workers to publish a local phone number and dial emergency numbers. It can therefore be easily plugged into the broadband device to provide IP telephony, access to network resources, and the full functionality of the PBX at the headquarters, to a user away from the main office. The ZIP 4x4B and the ZIP 4x5B provide similar functionality for office and remote workers but offer additional capabilities.
 
"We have invested heavily in acoustic testing and are certain that these phones sound better than anything on the market today," said Zultys' VP of Product Marketing Patrick Ferriter in a statement. "Zultys is definitely in the phone business and will stay ahead of our competitors in this space."
 
The ZIP 4x4L phone is currently available and other models will become available over the next four to ten weeks. The phones are fully managed in release 3.0 of the software for the Zultys MX30 and MX250, which goes on general availability today.
 
Zultys made news last month when it released version 3.0 of the software for its MX30 and MX250 IP PBXs. The software provides features to offer Zultys users IP telephony systems that have better productivity tools available.
 
The new suite of features is comprised of an instant message (IM) bridge between the Zultys PBX and public IM; services such as AOL, ICQ, Yahoo!, and MSN; advanced automated attendant (AA), or basic IVR; integration with Microsoft (News - Alert) Exchange for unified messaging; and  support for fractional PCM (T1 or E1) on the MX30 system.
