"There are more than 35 million small businesses world wide looking for custom IP communication solutions that are custom built for their needs," said Tarun Loomba, Linksys Sr. Director of product marketing. "To date most small businesses are forced to use enterprise or consumer voice solutions that are either too costly or difficult to use or not robust enough to support their needs. The new Linksys IP PBX and IP phones bundled with our authorized service provider partner's offering were developed for the small business in mind. The LVS9000 will make the deployment of full featured voice networks easy to install and simple to use at a price small businesses can afford."

Linksys IP PBX: SPA9000

The Linksys IP PBX lies at the heart of the telephony solution, delivering advanced, multi-line features commonly found in enterprise telephone networks. With the Auto Attendant feature, small businesses with up to 16 users can customize their voice network to direct calls to the right person or department and program the system to allow on- and off-business hour greetings. A promotional message can be created to greet or provide information to callers placed on hold or users can "pipe in" their music of choice. The system also allows users to park calls, fax over the Internet and use the intercom for paging. There are over one hundred telephony features built-in. Out of the box, the SPA9000 supports up to four (4) users. Via a software license key upgrade, up to sixteen (16) users can be supported. Details can be found at www.linksys.com.
