The ESI Communications Server product line is an advanced, highly expandable communications platform for building your organization’s entire telecommunications strategy. The ESI Communications Server has the features you need to support your business at very competitive prices, and it has the growth path you need as your business expands and you add new lines and sites.
Each ESI Communications Server — the ESI-1000, the ESI-600, the ESI-200, or the ESI-100 — can be a traditional digital business phone system, a fully standards-based IP telephony system, or any mix of the two. The choice is entirely yours, and the mix can easily change when your needs do. The models vary mainly according to their call-handling, message storage, and other capacities.
ESI’s state-of-the-art IP Feature Phones work from anywhere on your IP network. They also can go to most remote sites with broadband service, so anyone can work from home while still having access to the office phone system and ESI features. If you have multiple locations, you can connect up to 100 IP-enabled ESI systems on an Esi-Link™ network to enable growth and support remote offices.
Each Communications Server model combines multiple first-rate, feature-rich systems into one tightly integrated unit:
- Business Telephone System
