Toshiba America Information Systems Inc has launched unified communications suite which bundles Toshiba’s (News - Alert) unified communications applications in a single software package.

Company officials say all applications in the unified communications suite run on one UC server, Toshiba’s media application server, now available from authorized Toshiba dealers nationwide. Toshiba’s unified communications suite makes it easy and affordable for enterprises to adopt unified communications.

“With Toshiba’s new unified communications suite, Strata CIX VoIP system users get a full suite of unified communications applications on a single server that provides an affordable entry to unified communications without sacrificing any features,” said Brian Metherell (News - Alert), vice president and general manager for Toshiba Information Systems, telecommunication systems division, in a statement.

Metherell said with Toshiba’s unified communications suite, the company’s customers can be assured that they are getting the best possible price and significantly simplifying the process of deployment and management of a single unified communications solution.

Company officials say Toshiba’s new unified communications suite includes presence and instant messaging. The presence capability allows viewing the status of other users with access to both their telephone busy/idle status and calendar status from Outlook integration. Users can also maximize efficiency with the ability to call or instant-message contacts in one click.

Officials said that with the help of the newly launched UC application, making a call is as easy as highlighting a number and clicking the mouse. Users can also launch electronic documents, applications and web pages directly from the Net Phone call manager interface for quick access to the most frequently used communications tools, saving valuable time.

Headquartered in Irvine, Calif., TAIS is comprised of four business units: digital products division, imaging systems division, storage device division, and telecommunication systems division. Together, these divisions provide mobile products and solutions, including portable computers; projectors; imaging products for the security, medical and manufacturing markets; storage products for automotive, computer and consumer electronics applications; and telephony equipment and associated applications.

Earlier this month, Toshiba America Information Systems Inc., telecommunication systems division had announced the launch of its new DKT2404-DECT (News - Alert) next-generation digital DECT cordless telephone for the Toshiba Strata CIX family of VoIP business communication systems.

Now available from Authorized Toshiba Dealers, the Toshiba DECT cordless telephone offers up to seven times the range of other cordless telephones.
