ASPIRE借助IP语音通信缔造卓越

Campus Wide Connectivity

In the first phase of the Academy’s development plans, the Avaya Media Server and a number of Avaya G650 Gateways connect administration buildings, dormitories, restaurants and academic facilities, and drive Avaya Communication Manager over ASPIRE’s wired and wireless data network.

At the desktop level, faculty and staff use Avaya 4620 and Avaya 4630 model IP telephones. While on the move around campus Avaya 3616 wireless telephones keep them connected. The Avaya IP Softphone application will be used on notebook PCs and PDAs to provide another flexible, mobility solution. At present there are approximately 200 users on the campus network. However, with the completion of phase two of the Academy, which includes the stadium, Olympic swimming pool and sports pitches, the number of users will grow rapidly.

A New Solution that is Fast and Flexible

As the Academy’s opening date drew near, the rapid delivery of the solutions was critical.

“The delivery of the system was very good. Avaya sensed the urgency – we were expecting to have to use a back-up telephone system – but the speed they delivered the solution was very good, and there were no problems at all with the installation,” Abdulkarim explained.

IP Features to Keep Staff Connected

With the second phase of ASPIRE due for completion later this year, the both Academy and the number of pupils is set to expand rapidly. The flexibility of the IP telephony solution allows the communications system to easily expand.

Avaya Communication Manager offers users many different features and benefits that go far beyond simple telephony. Services such conference calling and directory services can be easily managed from the Avaya handsets, while integrated solutions such as voicemail and Extension-To-Cellular allow the staff to stay in touch and to have all of the features as if they were at their desks even as they move around the campus. Extension to Cellular simultaneously links desktop calls and features to a users cell phone. ASPIRE is also looking at rolling out more of the 700-plus features available with Avaya IP telephony to increase productivity and connectivity for its staff.

“The solution gives us the flexibility to manage our telephony infrastructure ourselves, our total cost of ownership (TCO) is drastically reduced and we have complete freedom to do as we please,” said Abdulkarim. “It is a new system, with a lot of features that we will have to test, to find the features that are most meaningful to our users, but we plan to investigate and adopt those as we go on. We see lots of benefits from a tightly integrated unified messaging system, and thanks to the Avaya solutions we are able to adopt new features and explore the potential in future.”
