It's a Brand New World. Telecommunications is moving fast. Traditional ways of communicating are rapidly giving way to a new world ushered in by the Internet. AltiServ with IP (Internet Protocol) is designed for the new Internet era where data, voice and video converge into a single streamlined network. AltiServ gives you a wealth of features and sets the stage for the ultimate multimedia communications environment. With AltiServ you're ready to meet the Internet Communications Era head on.

AltiServ with IP creates an integrated Voice over IP Gateway so it's uniquely suited to businesses with multiple branch or remote offices. AltiServ at one office translates voice into data packets that can be routed over an IP network like your internal Intranet or a virtual private network (VPN). Another gateway at your call destination captures the data packets and converts them back into voice. The bottom line means long distance interoffice calls cost you no more than a local call to your Internet service provider! AltiServ with IP can network multiple branch locations, all with a centralized operator. And whether you have 2 or 500 remote offices, all AltiServ systems can easily be managed from one central location.

The hallmark of AltiServ is that it delivers today's most sophisticated communications technology in a way that's simple to use. With AltiServ there are no cumbersome dialing plans with long numbering sequences and call delays. Branch office calls use a short 3 digit extension. Placing IP calls is virtually identical to using traditional phone lines. With AltiServ you simply press "9" when you want to access the regular public network and "8" when you want to place calls over an IP network, and AltiServ gives you voice quality that's second to none.

AltiWare IP works with AltiServ running AltiWare Open Edition software (OE). There's no additional servers to buy and no complicated work a-rounds to connect disparate systems. AltiWare IP's integrated design gives you a clean, streamlined configuration with a single point of administration between networked offices.

Since the AltiServ system is based on Microsoft's Windows NT and AltiGen's system software, adding new features or upgrades can be as easy as loading a CD ROM. With AltiGen you're guaranteed the most up to date communications system for your business. Not only are all AltiGen products backed by an easy upgrade policy but authorized AltiGen dealers are available nationwide to help with installations and upgrades as your needs require. You also get the peace of mind that comes from choosing a phone system from the leader in server based telecommunications.

A recent review by Ziff Davis Labs reported that the AltiServ phone system has more and a greater depth of features than almost any PBX product they'd seen. AltiWare IP teams with the award winning AltiWare OE to give you a world class PBX, Auto Attendant, voice mail, email, virtual extensions, Automatic Call Distribution and Zoomerang which lets you respond to voice mail with a single key press. You'll also get the industry's most powerful mobile commuting tools like One Number Access which allows callers to, "look for you" at up to four different numbers.

AltiServ is the ultimate multimedia communications platform. AltiServ's standards based architecture supports a new world of powerful Internet communications tools. You get today's most complete small business communications system, and the confidence that comes from knowing that you can grow or add new features as you need them. It's built for today, when new and improved technology is the only constant. It's a brand new world. With AltiServ you're ready to meet the Internet communications era head on.
