NextWest NextConnect Delivers PBX Features to Branch Locations without Installing a PBX

New Technology Enables Cost-Effective Deployment at Multiple
Locations.

NextWest, Inc., the leading provider of IP-based business
telecommunications and contact center systems, today introduced
the latest addition to its PCXi IP-based PBX solution. Using a
single trunk board, NextWest’s PCXi, with its newly introduced
NextConnect architecture, provides 30 channel capacity for
communications between headquarters and branch offices allowing
businesses to implement branch locations without the high cost
of installing separate PBX systems.

The PCXi system, already known for its powerful PBX functions,
cost-effectiveness, reliability and ease of management, now
brings enterprises the capability of incrementally adding up to
30 extensions to any remote branch location with full PBX
features without installing a PBX at the remote location.

The NextConnect adapter converts 30-channel format to IP for low
cost transport of calls between headquarters and branch
locations, making affordable branch connectivity for smaller
offices possible. Additionally, multiple sites can be connected
with a three digit dialing plan, taking advantage of the lower
costs of VoIP (voice over IP).VoIP capability is further
enhanced by NextConnect support of both traditional and IP
phones.

“We make it possible for enterprises to build their phone
systems around their business, rather than their business around
their phone system, as is so often the case,” said Matt Morales,
NextWest COO. “Regardless of geography, number of employees, or
number of locations, we adapt to the way your business operates.”

NextConnect is uniquely designed to take advantage of
traditional telephone cables, eliminating the high costs of
rewiring often associated with IP telephony systems. Working
together with the NextLex extension box, NextConnect delivers
affordable remote connectivity while requiring significantly
less bandwidth than traditional IP.

Because the NextConnect adapter converts 30-channel format to
IP, users get the full features and functionality of a PBX
system with the cost savings of an IP system while using no more
than 51Kbps of bandwidth for all 30 lines rather than the 20 -
120+ Kbps of bandwidth used by a single VoIP line in other
solutions. QoS and security are maintained and DSL/cable
connections, typical of small and medium sized business, provide
ample bandwidth.

NextWest’s PCXi delivers a fully-integrated solution whose
standard features are considered options on other systems and
may be unavailable altogether on many VoIP systems. Standard
features include auto attendant, automatic call distribution,
caller ID, interactive voice response, fax on demand, voice and
fax over IP, unified messaging, least cost routing, voicemail,
conferencing, built-in music on hold and call and message
screening.
