[April 19, 2011] LG-Ericsson Launches iPECS-LIK in North America Tweet Apr 19, 2011 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- LG-Ericsson USA announced the launch of iPECS-LIK in North America. A business communications product family designed to enable pure IP communications for demanding business applications, iPECS-LIK delivers all of the functionality of a traditional PBX with the addition of productivity-enhancing features like Unified Communications for conferencing-voice and video-data collaboration, remote and roaming user support and scalability. iPECS-LIK brings seamless communication to organizations ranging from a small 10-user office to a 1,000-user corporation, and excels in specialty application environments that require advanced communication. Built on a fully distributed architecture that grows with a company, the iPECS-LIK system provides excellent performance with a traditional telephony interface in either a centralized or a distributed network, providing the flexibility to adapt to differing-and even changing-needs. Customer-configurable, iPECS-LIK integrates communication-enhancing applications over an IP network for truly unified communications, managed through a streamlined user interface. Designed by seasoned communications technology veterans at LG-Ericsson USA, it enables even greater peace of mind with that flexibility and scalability. Available now through LG-Ericsson USA's certified and experienced resellers, the modular components of iPECS-LIK enable businesses, from small to large, to choose feature/function sets that meet their needs in terms of application and budget, by choosing what works for them from among the multiple gateways, terminals, phones, applications license packages and cabinets/accessories. iPECS-LIK opens communications for success with a full complement of products, including call servers, gateways, handsets software modules and all of the requisite accessories, allowing implementation of an efficient, custom, modular IP communications system that can expand with a company's needs. The iPECS-LIK pure IP architecture is a platform for advanced IP telephony applications that streamlines business processes and improves productivity. Its complement of applications includes soft-phones (both PC and PDA-based), PC Attendant for incoming call management, Network Management, Unified Communications, Unified Messaging (with an open interface based on TAPI) and the Advanced Interface Messaging (AIM) for computer telephony interface with third-party applications. Specialized application support, including Micros Fidelio Property Management System (PMS) interface certification to address the needs of the hospitality market, and Skype Connect for SIP, achieves a standards-based, broadly implemented IP network interface. Providing a communication infrastructure, iPECS-LIK has the feature/function set that helps businesses communicate effectively: to collaborate internally to for excellence in product and service offerings; externally, for strong customer service. The iPECS-LIK Call Server provides a set of telephony features, from the basic (e.g., hold, transfer and video conferencing) to the advanced (e.g., least-cost routing, incoming call distribution and SIP trunking). It works with a broad portfolio of communications devices including desktop phones, iPECS Wireless LAN phones, and PC and PDA virtual phones from LG-Ericsson; with support for WiFi terminals, wireless headsets, soft phones, SLT or standard SIP terminals, and many legacy digital phones. LG-Ericsson USA is a joint venture between LG-Ericsson and Accton Technology.
