Traditional communications offerings built around Centrex or PBXs are increasingly unable to satisfy campus requirements. As a result, institutions are turning to IP communications to lower costs, integrate new technology, and provide innovative services for students.
3NG provides hosted IP communications, combining the most innovative voice applications, rich back-office capabilities, and an open, standards-based architecture. 3NG administrative hierarchy enables institutions to simultaneously deliver services to faculty & staff, while reselling services to students.
By deploying 3NG solutions, institutions can complement or replace existing telecom equipment / services, improve economics, and streamline operations.
3NG Campus Solutions
3NG voice applications function over broadband IP networks and can deliver service to analog or digital handsets through integrated access devices (IADs). 3NG provides basic feature-functionality such as dial tone and call waiting as well as advanced features such as find-me/follow-me and unified messaging. With a tested system capacity of millions of users, 3NG offers the scale and performance to support the largest institutions in a variety of deployment scenarios.
As a hosted platform, 3NG call control intelligence resides in the network, enabling service delivery and on-net calling across locations, including out-of-region and international sites.
With such a broad range of networking and service capabilities, 3NG offers multiple campus solutions including Centrex line replacement, PBX replacement, access channel consolidation, premises network convergence, and private voice networking.
Open Communications and Network Architecture
Campus voice and data networks face constant pressure to integrate applications and equipment to meet demand for new service. Most traditional voice systems operate on proprietary standards that limit or prohibit integration of new technologies and new end-user devices (PDAs, soft clients, etc.).
3NG operates on open networking standards such as SIP. 3NG’s use of open standards enables rapid integration with IP applications and allows campuses to consolidate voice and data network assets for long-term cost savings.
Campuses can see the benefits of migrating to an open voice architecture without completely overhauling existing telecom assets. 3NG’s private voice networking enables interconnection with most existing telecom equipment for a phased implementation. This approach minimizes financial outlay and disruption as users are migrated to a fully hosted solution in coordination with PBX end-of-life schedules.
Complementing 3NGs' use on open standards is a vigorous interoperability program for equipment that includes IP phones, soft clients, IADs, network gateways, and softswitches. The resulting breadth of selection enables campuses to select certified partner equipment for best-of-breed solutions and competitive economics.
