Allied Telesyn, a global provider of secure Ethernet/IP access solutions, today introduced new VoIP Solution Bundles, arming its reseller partners with a compelling, cost-effective solution for small- to medium-sized businesses and enterprises.

A simplified, streamlined solution, the Allied Telesyn VoIP Bundles are all-inclusive end-to-end kits that bypass the need for a PBX or complicated server set-up. The draw on Peer-to-Peer- and SIP-based technology creates a distributed, fully featured VoIP system that is resident within the phone handsets themselves.

A plug-and-play solution, Allied Telesyn's VoIP Bundles have no barriers to entry for VARs. They require no expensive or time-intensive certification and are easy to install and support. The solution offers high margins and a clear differentiation because, as an end-to-end bundled system, it is unique in the industry. Resellers can also build on the solution to offer incremental revenue via services and pull-through of Allied's complete line of voice, video and data options designed for SMBs/SMEs.



The VoIP Bundle solution includes all the features of a more expensive PBX solution for approximately half the price, including: Auto-Attendant (Multi-Language), Voicemail, Voice-Conferencing, 3-way Calling, Caller ID, E-mail Notifications, Music-on-Hold, Intercom, Paging, and Web Administration. The system scales up to 200 stations.

The solutions come standard with one year of Allied Telesyn's Concierge service and support, which includes next-day advanced replacement. Concierge support is designed to make deployment of these solutions easy and cost effective for first-time VoIP resellers and their customers. It enables resellers who have delayed selling converged solutions due to complicated barriers and training to offer and deploy a best-in-class fully featured VoIP solution.

"SMBs and SMEs finally have a VoIP system that is designed specifically for them," says Allied Telesyn's Executive Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Philip Yim. "These bundles offer a full VoIP feature set at about half the price of comparable PBX- or server-based systems. Plus, by distributing functionality across all the phones in the system, SMBs/SMEs are able to leverage their entire system for maximum efficiency and cost savings."

"This is the ideal VoIP solution for our VAR partners to offer their customers," adds Alan Casas, Allied Telesyn's Director of Distribution Sales. "It is a streamlined, all-inclusive system that is simple to install, simple to maintain, and there is no barrier-to-entry, such as a costly certification. Plus, it offers a clear differentiation against the competition, the feature set is phenomenal, and there's a lot of opportunity for incremental revenue."
