Avaya’s (News - Alert) new 1600 Series IP Phones are designed with a slew of new features, designed to be a cost effective small business VoIP alternative.
According to the company, for businesses with basic communications needs, the 1600 Series IP Deskphones deliver familiar features at an attractive price point. They are ideal for office, branch, and call center use, and can be deployed alongside other Avaya phones, ensuring that all employees have exactly the functionality they need.
These Avaya 1600 series IP phones are compatible with Avaya IP Office R4.2 or higher and Avaya Communication Manager R3.0 or higher, and may be intermixed with other Avaya IP telephones, especially the Avaya one-X Deskphones (9600 series).
Telephone Magic, a provider of Avaya IP Office phone systems and telephones, expressed excitement over the new Avaya 1600 series, saying that the phones are a great IP alternative allowing customers to purchase more VoIP phones within a tight budget for their busy call centers, offices, and remote sites connected via IP telephony.
Jeff Jackson, president of Telephone Magic, commented, “While we do offer more expensive lines of IP phones, such as the Avaya 9600 series or other manufacturers’ IP phones that are pricier, such as Cisco (News - Alert) or Polycom SIP and IP-PBX sets, anyone that already has an Avaya IP Office phone system or has migrated from Nortel Norstar telephone systems to the IP500 platform can take advantage of these affordable 1600 IP phones. It’s a good IP series at a great price.”
The 1603 IP Deskphone, 1603SW IP Deskphone, 1608 IP Deskphone, 1616 IP Deskphone and 16CC Agent Deskphone comprise some of the models in the Avaya 1600 IP series of phones, designed to meet a wide range of end-user needs including the call center.
