AireSpring announced plans to deploy Metaswitch Accession technology on its popular AirePBX product. Accession Communicator will allow subscribers to make high quality voice and video calls from their smartphones and tablets over 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi networks, presenting their same “twinned” enterprise phone number.
With Accession Communicator, AirePBX will allow subscribers to seamlessly move calls in progress between clients on their iPad, iPhone, Android, or PC devices and their desk phone or cellular device, freeing users from their desks and making them truly mobile. Alongside high quality voice and video calling, tablet and smart phone users will have the ability to review and forward their visual voicemail, video-mail, and fax messages, as well as configure their call management rules.
In addition to the unified communications enhancements of Accession, AirePBX includes free local, free interoffice Calling, free proactive network monitoring, free Phones, and optional unlimited long distance. All features and options of AirePBX are fully customizable from a robust, but simple, online management portal.
“AirePBX is one of our fastest growing products. We are proud of the rich feature set and ease of use. Accession will further enhance and distinguish the product by making communications truly mobile across all devices,” said Daniel Lonstein, AireSpring COO.
Customers utilizing AireSpring’s MPLS products may seamlessly layer AirePBX (or any of the company’s voice and data products) over Airespring’s advanced next generation IP network. This configuration allows for flexibility, security, and rapid scalability.
Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) has become a leading trend in offices worldwide. AirePBX can bind those devices to the corporate phone system, allowing for true mobile and device independence. Users can completely cut the cord with the office yet still receive all of their calls, voicemail, faxes and video messages.
“Metaswitch’s Accession portfolio makes mobile Unified Communications deployable as a genuinely usable business service,” said Al Cook, Vice President of Business Services Products at Metaswitch. “Our focus on voice and video quality, battery life management, and platform independence makes this a real solution for customers’ modern business environments.”
