NET successfully completes interoperability testing with Polycom's KIRK Wireless Systems

Network Equipment Technologies (NET), who supply a range of IP switching solutions in the US, Europe and the UK, have completed successful interoperability testing with Polycom’s KIRK wireless systems, enabling systems integrators and small businesses to gain benefits of today’s IP solutions.

NET's VX Series was successfully tested for use with Polycom's KIRK DECT (digital enhanced cordless telecommunications) systems, including the KIRK Wireless Server (KWS) 300 and KWS 6000 systems, as well as the full line-up of KIRK wireless phones.

- The entry-level KWS300 is a SIP-based wireless telephony system that is ideal for smaller sized businesses. The KWS300 is a single-cell system that can support up to 12 handsets and four simultaneous calls. A total of six KIRK repeaters can be added to extend the coverage area.

- The KWS6000 is a SIP-based wireless telephony solution that can fulfil the wireless needs of up to more than 4,000 mobile employees. It is a multi-cell solution that is extremely scalable whether an end-user needs radio coverage of a large geographical area or to equip a large number of mobile employees with the flexibility of wireless telephony. It also provides strong investment protection and can grow with the end-user as the business grows and is therefore ideal for medium and up to very large sized businesses.

Note: both KWS300 and KWS6000 may be used with Multitone’s alarm management solutions to provide serial data and closing contact alarm interfaces to company alarms, nursecall systems and other alarm management solutions.

In addition any person with user rights may send free format messages to DECT handsets from a PC.

Benefits of the combined solution include enhanced compatibility features, ease of operation, remote survivability, and a more cost effective solution for small enterprises and branch office locations. More specifically, Polycom and NET's interoperability offers the following benefits to enterprises and system integrators:

- inter-operability
- ease of operation
- branch office survivability and service reliability
- cost-effective voice solution for small enterprises
