ADTRAN Expands IP Phone Portfolio to Better Enable Premises and Hosted Voice Services

ADTRAN and Polycom partnership delivers comprehensive solution for premises and hosted VoIP as enterprises continue to adopt feature-rich voice, video and UC

HUNTSVILLE, Ala.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

ADTRAN®, Inc., (ADTN), a leading provider of cloud connectivity, mobility and enterprise communications solutions, today announced the addition of four new IP phones to its industry-leading VoIP portfolio. ADTRAN’s expanded VoIP portfolio, including the VVX® 300, VVX® 310, VVX® 400, and the VVX® 410 – featuring Polycom Powered™ technology – can be deployed on both hosted- or premises-based communications networks. This enables service providers and resellers the flexibility to deliver an advanced end-to-end communications solution for enterprise customers looking to adopt next-generation voice, video and unified communications (UC) solutions.

As businesses work to operate more efficiently, many are looking for more powerful communication tools to enable them to streamline their processes. To address this growing need, ADTRAN is delivering a complete IP voice and video endpoint portfolio. Because the new phones combine the flexibility of ADTRAN’s NetVanta® UC call control, enterprises can upgrade to the latest and most advanced VoIP technologies while maintaining the way they communicate within their business. This gives enterprise customers a broader set of endpoints to meet their business needs while keeping the same ease of installation and single vendor support they have come to expect.

The new endpoints offer the total solution that service providers seek when selling hosted services today. The VVX 300/310 and the VVX 400/410 deliver intuitive user interfaces and have the ability to interact with third party web applications. Their uses range from the entry-level business media phone for today’s knowledge worker to mid-range phone with advanced call-handling ideal for the busy call center agent.

“ADTRAN’s unique market position in both UC call control for the premises and IP business gateways for hosted voice services gives us unique insight into our customer’s communications needs,” said Bob Locklear, director of product management for ADTRAN’s Enterprise Networks division. “Combined with flexible deployment options, these new endpoints can reach more customers and add to a complete IP phone portfolio that meets the needs of today’s unified communications applications.”

Key features of the new phones include:

• Elegant, modern design features such as large screens with an intuitive user interface and programmable line keys that make it easy to manage calls, contacts and calendar appointments.
  • The new VVX 300 is an entry-level IP phone with 6 programmable line keys for employees that handle a low-to-moderate volume of calls.
  • The VVX 400 is a mid-range business phone with 12 programmable line keys and a larger color screen for ease of use and enhanced call-handling for larger volumes of calls coming into an organization.
• Reduced total cost of ownership with the ability to deploy phones on existing networks with open SIP-based call control platforms.
• Zero-touch provisioning and a web-based configuration tool to easily administer, upgrade and maintain.
• Integration with third-party applications so users can easily receive information such as weather, sports and stocks and integrate with other business and UC&C applications.
• Plug-in expansion modules with more programmable line keys for power users that need to manage higher volumes of contacts and calls. These modules include:
  • The Polycom VVX Color Expansion Module is available in high-resolution LCD with 28 illuminated bi-color programmable line keys.
  • The Polycom VVX Expansion Module features 40 programmable line keys.
  • Each VVX phone, including the VVX 300, VVX 400, VVX 500 and VVX 600 business phones, can support up to three expansion modules.

(Photo: PRNewswire)

LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the 2013 Mid-America Trucking Show, Rand McNally unveiled its new IntelliRoute® TND™ 520 connected GPS device for professional drivers. The TND™ 520, which includes a new ruggedized case, Lifetime Maps, and a host of new features, will be available for sale starting in May.

The new 5-inch device includes Wi-Fi® connectivity* that enables a number of new real-time data services, most of which will be standard on the device without any subscription fee.

The ability to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi leverages Rand McNally’s truck GPS platform to provide information and services important to professional drivers.

Premium and standard connected services enabled for the TND™ 520 include:

• Traffic Everywhere: With drivers wasting 38 hours annually in traffic, gridlock on the nation’s roads costs professional drivers $27 billion in wasted time and diesel fuel each year.1 Traffic Everywhere helps professional drivers avoid costly delays with real-time and predictive analytics for the road ahead and will show what to expect before key junctions. Powered by INRIX®, Traffic Everywhere offers professional drivers complete coverage beyond major metro areas across highways, interstates and local roads as well as major truck routes in rural areas. Traffic Everywhere is a premium service that will be available for purchase from the Rand McNally Dock™.
• Weather updates: Current and forecasted weather information, including storms and wind speeds, are displayed along the route. This service is on device, no subscription cost.
• Fuel prices: Powered by the market leader in fuel pricing, gasbuddy.com, this feature provides up-to-date fuel prices in real-time along a route and nearby. Includes diesel and gas. In addition, fuel prices and fuel stop icons can be shown on a map and in list format, viewable by brand, price, or distance to location. This service is on device, no subscription cost.
• Local search: This feature expands the ability to find points of interest on the device, using a free-form keyword search, such as “burgers” to find locations. The user also may search by a category or a business name, and the TND™ 520 will display a description, address, and phone number for locations. This service is on device, no subscription cost.

“Our direction has always been to provide additional services and benefits to drivers who use our products,” said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally. “Our first TND™ device wasn’t just a GPS built for trucks – it also contained tools and applications to help drivers manage their businesses. These latest connected services are an extension of that direction.”

In addition to connected capabilities, the TND™ 520 is built with software featuring:

• Updated maps and routing – Includes an updated road network with truck navigation incorporating legal and physical restrictions including axle-count support, plus page-and-grid references to Rand McNally’s 2014 Motor Carriers’ Road Atlas.
• Compare Routes – Provides a primary route and a reasonable alternate, allowing the driver to choose. Both routes are presented on a map for a quick review.
• Team Driver Timers – Allows for a second set of driver timers to be maintained on the device.
• Address Book transfers – Enables the download of an address book from another device or PC; the user may select to “merge” or “overwrite” existing addresses on the device.
• Fuel economy tracking – Enhanced fuel Logs provide current and average miles per gallon calculation for a route, and can be viewed by month and by quarter.

The suggested retail price of the TND™ 520 is $299.99. The device will be available at trucking travel centers and online retail locations.

Rand McNally also announced that the updated software available on the TND™ 520 will be available to current owners of the TND™ 720 devices via the Rand McNally Dock as early as May.
