LG-Ericsson Refines IP Meeting Clarity with High-Def Conference Phone

New iPECS ACT-50 Audio Conference terminal takes IP communication into the conference room: industry-leading audio technology and flexible configuration for easy setup, clear, crisp audio, and glitch-free calls

LG-Ericsson USA ( www.lgericssonus.com ) today announced the latest in its line of iPECS products that put pure IP communication to work for business: the iPECS ACT-50 Audio Conference terminal. Designed to make conference calls even clearer than face-to-face meetings, the new ACT-50 Audio Conference terminal's 16 integrated microphones ensure that everyone's input is communicated, and its four audiophile-quality speakers ensure that it's heard. Designed specifically to provide the best in sound quality for LG-Ericsson's iPECS-LIK pure IP telephony system, the iPECS ACT-50 conference terminal is available now through LG-Ericsson USA's certified and experienced resellers.

Using technology from world-leading audio developer Yamaha, the new ACT-50 Conference terminal delivers high-quality, high-reliability sound, utilizing 16 microphones and four speakers to ensure clear communication across as much as a 20-foot coverage area. Features like a built-in audio mixer, multiple microphone modes, adaptive echo cancellation and auto tracking ensure that conversations are clear, crisp and understandable. Designed for mission-critical business communications, the ACT-50 supports multiple interfaces (LAN, PSTN and audio in/out) for easy integration into an iPECS pure IP telephony environment and is as easy to install as it is easy to place -- and ACT-50 units can even be daisy-chained for use in large or difficult spaces.

"This system beats any conference terminal on the market: its 16 microphones and four speakers trump the leaders' three mic/single speaker systems," said Iain Kenney, LG-Ericsson USA's Director of Product Marketing. "We designed it from the ground up to ensure a cut-out-free, echo-free clear means of communication for audio conferencing that takes advantage of the pure-IP communication offered with our iPECS telephony systems."

A full-featured business communications product family designed to enable pure IP communications for demanding business applications, iPECS-LIK delivers all of the functionality of a traditional PBX with the addition of productivity-enhancing features like Unified Communications for conferencing--voice and video--data collaboration, remote and roaming user support and scalability to bring seamless communication to organizations ranging from a small 10-user office to a 1000-user corporation, or specialty applications that require advanced communication.

Built on a fully distributed architecture that grows with a company, the iPECS-LIK system provides excellent performance with a traditional telephony interface in either a centralized or a distributed network, providing the flexibility to adapt to differing--and even changing--needs. Customer-configurable, iPECS-LIK integrates communication-enhancing applications over an IP network for truly unified communications, managed through an intuitive, easy user interface. And designed by seasoned communications technology veteran LG-Ericsson USA and built on a proven platform, it enables even greater peace of mind with that flexibility and scalability.

Available now through LG-Ericsson USA's certified and experienced resellers, the modular components of iPECS-LIK, including the new iPECS ACT-50 Audio Conference terminal, enable businesses, from small to large, to choose feature/function sets that meet their needs in terms of application and budget by choosing what works for them from among the multiple gateways, terminals, phones, applications license packages and cabinets/accessories. iPECS-LIK opens communications for success with a full complement of products, including call servers, gateways, handsets, software modules and all of the requisite accessories, allowing implementation of an efficient, custom, modular IP communications system that can expand with a company's needs.
