Like the TalkSwitch 48-CVA by Centerpoint Technologies, offering small office, branch and home-based business markets flexible money saving calling options in a telephone system with hybrid capability for VoIP and PSTN

Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) January 13, 2005 -- SureCom Solutions, an online business market E-Tailer of technology solutions for small business and branch offices, today announced it would increase sales by targeting the growing voice over IP market. The E-Tailer's direct competitors are such online catalogs as Hello Direct and TWAComm and have begun an aggressive campaign to become a leading procurement source for such lines as TalkSwitch 48-CVA. TalkSwitch 48-CVA is the first full-featured hybrid PSTN/VoIP system targeted to small business and branch offices. Designed and manufactured by Centerpoint Technologies, this revolutionary hybrid telephone system offers combined access to the traditional, publicly switched telephone network (PSTN) and voice over IP (VoIP).

With the TalkSwitch 48-CVA, businesses can maintain their connections to the PSTN for local calling and switch to built-in VoIP connections for long distance and inter-branch calling. Multi-location businesses can significantly reduce long distance charges, as well as improve productivity across all locations. The system, designed for businesses with 1 to 32 users per location, includes features such as 3-digit dialing between branches, seamless call transfer between locations, and easy access to IP network services such as Internet calling. All calls, whether PSTN or VoIP, can be made using any standard analog phone.

The customer-installable 48-CVA is an all-in-one system that comes with auto attendants, voicemail, call management and a host of other features. The TalkSwitch 48-CVA also includes Centrepoints innovative remote extension capabilities. Combined with its VoIP/PSTN access, the system allows cell phone users to make VoIP calls, saving on long distance charges.

Each TalkSwitch 48-CVA unit accommodates up to four CO lines and four VoIP trunks, eight local extensions and eight remote extensions. Up to four units can be networked to make a system with 16 CO lines, 16 VoIP trunks, 32 local extensions and 32 remote extensions per location. The system includes free software updates. The TalkSwitch 48-CVA is compliant with SIP standards. SIP is the standard that ensures ongoing interoperability with other VoIP products and services.

According to a recent Synergy Research Group report, VoIP system sales to the enterprise market increased by nearly 90% last year. Gartner Dataquest's report of December 11, 2003, "North American IP Telephony Market Gains Momentum" indicates that VoIP use in the office continues to grow. IP lines will out ship traditional lines in 2007. Gartner Dataquest further reports in March of 2004 that IP telephony equipment is expected to account for 97% of all business telephony sales.
