In our last article, we discussed the evolution of B2B communication and the advantages of Ericsson-LG Enterprise endpoints over generic 3rd party SIP phones. We explored how the integration of voice, messaging, and video into unified communications (UC) is shaping the future of business communication, and how Ericsson-LG Enterprise’s iPECS UCP series offers unmatched flexibility for hybrid environments.
In this follow-up, we take a deeper look at the system architecture of the Ericsson-LG Enterprise iPECS UCP series, exploring how its unique design meets the requirements and demands of today’s fast-evolving business landscape.
Built for flexibility: a modular gateway system
One of the most significant advantages of Ericsson-LG Enterprise’s iPECS UCP series is its flexibility. The iPECS UCP series comes in three models and supports a broad range of users, from small businesses of 100 users to large enterprises with up to 2,400 users. Despite the difference in scale, all three models use the same modular gateway, which is key to the system’s scalability.
This modular design offers businesses the ability to easily expand without incurring high costs associated with system overhauls. As a business grows, companies can expand their user base without needing to replace the entire system. This not only reduces capital expenditure but also minimizes downtime, which can impact business operations.
By eliminating the need to swap out infrastructure or invest in new systems, the modular approach simplifies expansion, allowing efficient and cost-effective scalability.
Ease of deployment across networks
Thanks to its modular architecture, the iPECS UCP series is able to deploy across networks effortlessly. Unlike traditional cabling systems, which often require extensive and costly cable laying, the iPECS UCP series can easily integrate with existing IP networks.
In traditional setups, expanding or relocating a communication system can result in high costs, not just in terms of cabling but also labor and downtime. The Ericsson-LG Enterprise iPECS UCP minimizes this by allowing businesses to deploy communication services quickly and flexibly across multiple locations, whether in the same building or across multiple sites. This design leads to significant cost savings and allows businesses to maintain operational efficiency as they grow.
How iPECS UCP offers operational continuity with redundancy
For all businesses, operational continuity is essential. Downtime can lead to lost revenue, damage to reputation, and productivity loss. For companies opting for an on-premises communication system, communication infrastructure needs to be reliable under all conditions.
The iPECS UCP series is designed with this in mind, offering power and call server redundancy as part of its core system architecture. With redundancy in place, businesses have peace of mind that their communication system will remain up and running 24/7, even if one part of the system fails.
This level of reliability reduces disruption, which is especially important for mission-critical industries like healthcare, finance, and customer service centers.
Why redundancy matters for businesses
Redundancy is important on many levels. Safeguarding communication is essential in maintaining business reputation and operational continuity. Companies that rely heavily on their communication infrastructure, whether for customer service, sales, or internal coordination, cannot afford significant downtime.
Offering a robust redundancy solution that doesn’t require additional investments, Ericsson-LG Enterprise allows businesses of all sizes to operate confidently, knowing that their communication system is resilient, secure, and capable of handling any unexpected disruptions.
iPECS UCP series: a flexible, scalable, and reliable choice
The modular gateway design of Ericsson-LG Enterprise’s iPECS UCP series allows for easy scalability without the need for costly system overhauls. This, coupled with the ease of deployment across IP networks, means substantial savings for businesses, especially those looking to expand or relocate operations.
Better yet, the iPECS UCP’s power and call server redundancy capabilities provide reliability and operational continuity, all while keeping costs low. Unlike many competitors, which require duplicate systems and multiple licenses, iPECS UCP’s single redundancy license solution ensures that businesses can safeguard their communication systems with minimal investment.
Ericsson-LG Enterprise offers solutions that adapt to the changing needs of today’s digital-driven marketplace, with market-leading architecture built for businesses that want to scale, evolve, and communicate with confidence.
