Your worldwide office
We all know that good communication is one of the most important parts of running a successful business. In a modern company, where branch offices and home workers are often many miles apart, effective communication can be a costly problem.
The KX-TDA PBXGateway™ and EXTender™ solution from Panasonic gives your staff, regardless of their location, access to the features of your central telephone system. Whether in area offices, remote call centres or based at their homes, your people are never more than an extension call away.
Cutting costs, improving productivity
The KX-TDA PBXGateway™ works by allowing the installation and operation of digital handsets in remote locations, all of them governed by your head office Panasonic KX-TDA telephone system. The PBXGateway™ is linked to EXTender™ units at your branch offices and home worker sites over IP WAN or broadband links.
With the KX-TDA PBXGateway™ system, callers can be transferred quickly and easily to the office that can best serve their needs, regardless of its geographical location.
Your caller will be totally unaware that the second person they talk to may be many miles away from the first. To increase efficiency, more than one location can use an
extension. For example, John works his shift, connecting to extension 207. When John disconnects, his number is taken over by another worker in a different site.
Office call costs are reduced as your remote offices become extensions to your central network, rather than separate lines on a different system.
KX-TDA PBXGateway™
The core of the system is the PBXGateway™, which is installed at the KX-TDA system of your head office. From here you can choose a combination of EXTender™ modules to suit your needs. The EXTender™ 6000 unit for branch offices or the EXTender™ 4000 for home based workers.
EXTender™ 6000
For sales offices, satellite call centres, retail operations and any other facility that requires multiple handsets, the EXTender™ 6000 is a key piece of equipment. Each unit is connected through an IP router, has simple plug-and play installation and supports up to eight handsets. The EXTenders™ can also be remotely managed from your main site. Application scenarios include:
- Sales offices
- Satellite call centres
- Retail operations
- Franchise outlets
- Banking or financial institutions
- Government or local authority departments
- Manufacturing operations
- Schools and Local Education Authorities
- Healthcare networks
EXTender™ 4000
The EXTender™ 4000 is designed for remote users working from home who only require a single handset. It utilises the worker’s existing IP connection or broadband modem to link in to your corporate system. The 4000 provides both a key phone port and PC port for connection to the network.
The KX-TDA PBXGateway™ EXTender™ system provides an ideal communication solution for the modern business. Delivering high-quality voice over your IP network, it offers a flexible, cost effective and easily maintained system to keep you connected.
