Cisco IP Phone Integration ConsultingCisco has been designing and selling IP phones for around two decades and has delivered almost 100 million IP endpoints that include desktop and wall-mount phones, conference phones, and mobile wireless handsets. Cisco's IP phones range from bare-bones voice-only devices with no display to multi-line IP video phones with color touch screens and the ability to run sophisticated applications. Used in conjunction with Cisco's Unified Communications Manager (formerly CallManager) call control platform, Cisco's IP phones help define the user experience for productive collaboration and are the critical endpoints for IP PBX systems that make up the core of modern business telecommunications. Advanced deployments of Cisco's IP phones can support rich media, mobile communications, IM, real-time presence, collaboration services, and more within a centralized environment that is easy to manage, extensible, highly secure, resilient, economical and intuitive.

Progent's Cisco CCIE (Voice)-certified IP phone consultants can help you maintain and manage Cisco's legacy IP phones, migrate to newer models, or expand your IP telephony solution to incorporate multiple sites, mobile workers, collaborative applications, and immersive telepresence technology. Progent offers online and on-premises consulting and troubleshooting services and can help you with occasional tasks like configuring a router for SIP trunking or major projects like replacing an outdated PBX system or planning and implementing the IP telephony infrastructure for a new site. Whatever your requirements, Progent's certified experts can save you time and money and help you derive maximum business value from your investment in Cisco VoIP phone and video phone technology.

Cisco IP Phones: VoIP and IP Video Endpoints
A collaboration endpoint is a user instrument, either a hardware phone or a soft phone application that runs on a PC or mobile computer. In the Internet Protocol world, every VoIP handset or soft phone has an Ethernet connection. VoIP phones offer all of the functions that a conventional phone handset provides, but IP phones can also provide additional features such as the ability to access the web or host productivity-enhancing applications.

Cisco IP Phones ConsultantsUnlike traditional Private Branch Exchange (PBX) technology, in a Cisco IP telephony environment you can perform almost instant moves, additions, and modifications. All you do is move the IP phone to its new spot, attach it to the Ethernet connection, and the phone registers itself with Cisco Unified Communications Manager (formerly CallManager). All client privileges and settings are automatically replicated, doing away with the expense and hassle of dispatching technicians to wiring closets. An additional efficient feature is extension mobility, which allows you to sign into any Cisco IP phone and get your personal phone number and privileges.

Cisco offers a wide selection of VoIP and IP video handsets. Cisco's entry-level Small Business SPA 300 family are basic IP and Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications devices that feature high-quality audio, compatibility with hosted IP phone systems or an IP PBX, easy installation and safe remote provisioning, transparent software updates, and browser-based configuration.

SIP Infrastructure Solutions
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) has become the dominant call management protocol for IP telephony and many of Cisco's current IP phones are single-protocol SIP devices. With a SIP trunk you can connect your local IP telephony network to an Internet telephony service provider (ITSP) and from there to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). This is a low-cost and easy-to-manage way to expand your IP telephony ecosystem outside your firewall without requiring a IP-to-PSTN gateway. SIP trunks support voice, IM, multi-media conferencing, emergency 911 calls, and other real-time IP communications. Progent's SIP technology experts can help you to design and integrate a SIP infrastructure solution that incorporate SIP VoIP phones and video endpoints, SIP gateways and trunking, SIP conferencing, SIP proxies, Unified Communications applications, and SIP management with Cisco Unified CM. To learn more about Progent's consulting services for SIP trunks and the Cisco CUBE session border controller, see SIP and CUBE infrastructure solutions: SIP trunks and Cisco CUBE integration consulting.
