Hi,
I am in the process of setting up three new offices located in Geneva, Athens and Dubai. The Geneva office will be the primary location. In addition we will have appromimately 4 home locations served by broadband lines probably ADSL.
In order to provide inter office voice communications I wish to install VOIP telephones and connections but they should also support PSTN lines alterntive routing for local country calls.
There will intitially be 5 to 6 people in geneva and 2-3 in each other office as it comes online. Future growth would probably not exceed 15
- 20 people total across all locations.
Ideally we'll utilise broadband ADSL in each location although a leased line my be available for internet connection in Geneva. Are fixed Ip addresses a mandatory requirement for the offices AND the home users?
As this is a new company we have no legacy systems and are open to make the maximum use of our technology investment.
I am very familiar with existing PABX technology but am new to the VOIP concept. My back ground is networking \ computing in the financial markets.
Quick overview of whats out there seems to point to Avaya IP office but I've also come across some bad reports, can anyone recommend a solution they are actually using and are very happy with. Support and maintenance in all locations is obviously a key issue.
cheers
