The Zenitel difference
Superior Audio Quality |
Integrated Communication
Efficient communication requires a single integrated communication platform. We support open protocols such as SIP that make it simple and straightforward to do all your communication from one central console. |
Integrated Security
Reliable communication between different systems is important. We share information through common protocols or dedicated drivers with other parts of the security system like Access Control and Video Cameras to enable automated processes. This makes it easier for your security team to work much more efficiently when faced with critical events. |
