OKI Delivers Large-scale Private IP Centrex System "SS9100" to NTT Communications
NTT Communications displays part of the system at its showroom in the form of a leading-edge office
TOKYO, May 7, 2008 -- Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TSE: 6703) announced it has delivered an IP telephony system to NTT Communications Corp. The system is based on OKI's IP telephony server, "IP CONVERGENCE® Server SS9100," and NTT Com selected it for its strong track record in mobile Centrex systems for wireless LAN, PHS and large-scale IP Centrex systems.
NTT Com offers high-quality and highly reliable communication products and services to enterprises and has the strongest track record in Japan with its "Arcstar IP-VPN" and ".Phone Ubiquitous." NTT Com wanted to reduce office costs and consolidate its metropolitan offices to improve business efficiency by enabling its sales, SE and staff functions to collaborate. NTT Com decided to establish a large-scale private IP Centrex system and selected OKI's SS9100 to connect with NTT Com's existing services.
"We are pleased to provide our SS9100 to NTT Com. OKI's solution can offer a large-scale IP Centrex system, since the SS9100 holds up to 20,000 ports in a single server. We believe it is a perfect solution for a large company like NTT Com," said Masa Saito, General Manager of IP Systems Division at OKI. "We are pleased to contribute to NTT Com's plan to consolidate its metropolitan area offices and to help improve their business efficiency through a non-territorial office, offering a new communication style."
SS9100 and an application server "IP CONVERGENCE Server AS8700" are already installed at NTT Com's data center. NTT DoCoMo's FOMA®/Wireless LAN dual terminal N902iL is used for mobile devices to act as wireless IP phones within the office and as mobile phones when out of the office. In addition, WillCom's PHS is connected to an IP-CS, OKI's IP compatible PHS base station, which enables users to use the phone as a private PHS in the office, and an IP mobile phone outside, and also to use NTT Com's mobile IP telephony service ".Phone Ubiquitous." NTT Com included IP multi-functional phones used as direct lines and phones in conference rooms.
In addition, NTT Com is introducing unified communication by installing applications as a trial, such as OKI's Com@WIL® softphone and Com@WILL Assistant, which allows users to make a phone call with a single click from a web browser. For the wireless LAN, the system adopts Aruba 6000, a mobility controller, and Aruba 65, a wireless access point from Aruba Networks, who are known for their excellent balance between mobility and security. With these products, the system offers a highly secure function with a highly reliable wireless LAN network.
OKI will continue to provide advanced IP telephony systems and propose new unified communication for enterprise users who aim to improve their working style and enhance productivity.
NTT Com will showcase part of this system as a working showroom to enable enterprises to see offices first hand.
