NBX® Communications System

Leading the Market with an Innovative Communications Platform

Smart businesses need smart communications. As companies grow in size and complexity, they require intelligent tools that make business simpler. The 3Com NBX Communications System is a reliable, flexible, full-function telecommunications platform that enhances and simplifies business communications while eliminating the maintenance hassles associated with conventional PBX systems.

The NBX Communications System delivers on its promises. It has been shipping since 1998, with more than 4,000 systems installed. The Phillips Group, considered the premier research organization for PBX systems ranks the NBX system as the industry leader. In its "InfoTrack for Enterprise Communications" (April 30, 2000) report, the 3Com NBX Communications System was ranked #1 in market share of all IP PBX systems and led the field in every system size category.

3COM offers the system in three models: The V3000, and the SuperStack 3 NBX V5000, and the Enterprise level SXT. Each delivers full-featured functionality for small to large businesses. The NBX V3000 is designed for small businesses who need up to about 25 devices (lines and stations) but want more than a traditional multiline or "Key" system. The NBXV5000 supports 750 devices but can be configured for 1500 phones. All provide everything needed to keep businesses and other organizations going and growing, from sophisticated call handling, Automated Attendants, Voice Mail, Calling Groups, Hunt Groups, Call Detail Reporting (CDR), Caller ID support, and automated menus that let callers route themselves to their calling destinations. 

A Wealth of Benefits for Today’s Businesses

By providing an all-in-one voice/data LAN infrastructure, the 3Com NBX system delivers critical benefits to today's businesses, including: 

•  Reliability you can count on. The NBX system shares the LAN infrastructure, but it operates independently of computers, servers, and operating systems. Even if every computer failed, the phone system can continue to deliver uninterrupted service. The NBX has 99.999+% reliability.
•  Easy administration. An array of features provides simple management and comprehensive control for IT managers. System utilities such as NBX NetSet, enable simple, system wide management. Automatic Route Selection (ARS) minimizes costs and improves efficiency. Call Detail Reporting (CDR) makes it easy to control costs.
•  Ease of use. Preprogrammed buttons make it simple to conference, transfer, redial, and hold calls; one touch functionality provides instant access to voice messaging services, speed dial, and forward to voice mail; and the system provides a host of customizable features.
•  Scalability. With the NBX system, it's easy to add new users and perform system-wide changes to fit new organizational requirements.

Cost Effective Solution Maximizes Investment

The 3Com NBX system provides a cost-effective communications solution, delivering a wide array of advanced features, applications, and services. Moreover, because the NBX system runs on the company LAN, it also reduces costs by eliminating the need for a separate voice network.

The NBX system offers businesses:

•  Feature-rich call processing for complete flexibility and customized call handling.

•  Premium-quality voice communications for true business-class telephony service.

•  Ethernet LAN connectivity to reduce overall cost of ownership and enable migration to next-generation converged networks.
