This eliminates the need to maintain separate networks, improves overall business operation, and produces substantial cost savings.

Toshiba Voice over IP gateway products provide a seamless bridge between the public switched telephone network and a TCP/IP network. The gateway eliminates the costs and inconvenience of maintaining separate networks by creating one voice and fax long distance carrier. The gateway is transparent to the users so there are no changes in the way they place voice or fax calls. The gateway uses current telephones, host telephone systems, fax machines, routers, wiring, LANs, and WANs, so no additional infrastructure equipment is required.

Using Toshiba Strata systems with VoIP solutions, customers receive the benefits of much greater call center effectiveness and customer service capabilities that improve their business operation.
