Migrate your enterprise to IP telephony features and applications without investing in expensive new IP phones and LAN equipment.
Features & Benefits
Key Features
The Citel Portico is available in both digital and P phone compatible configurations. Both integrate seamlessly with either an IP PBX or Hosted IP service provider to deliver IP telephony features and functionality to numerous legacy handset types over Cat3 cabling.
Digital and P phone compatible Portico units are both available in 12- or 24-port configurations, and easily scale to the number of stations in the enterprise. All configurations can be equipped with one or two optional FXO ports, which allows both easy 911 access and call locating, and survivability in the case of WAN failure.
In addition, Portico supports compression standards G.729AB and G.711. The enterprise simply selects the best rate for its network (if available).
Key Benefits
Cost Savings
Migration costs with Portico are $200 - $700 less per station than "rip and replace" deployments. In addition, Hosted IP service and IP PBX platforms can drastically reduce toll and long distance charges. At the same time, both add features to streamline operations and control costs, such as enhanced reporting and call control.
Flexibility
The Citel Portico TVA interoperates with leading IP PBX and Hosted IP platforms, and over 100 handset types. It also easily scales with the growth of the enterprise: when new employees are added, simply utilize an available port or, when capacity is reached, add another Portico unit.
Increased Productivity
When deploying a Citel Portico, users will already be familiar with their handset - it's the one already on their desk. Phones can either be programmed with the same or similar features from the legacy PBX, or updated with the latest VoIP features delivered by the IP PBX or Hosted IP service.
