MF Communications supply and support Cisco IP business telephones. This includes both new and fully remanufactured models, the remanufacturing process of which is fully extensive and involves complete refurbishment, replacement and testing to provide a product in as-new condition, sold boxed and with a full warranty.

A recent contract will see MF Communications supplying remanufactured Cisco IP business telephones to support an EU-wide Cisco maintainer in an on-going €10K per month.

Cisco IP business phones allow organisations to make use of converged voice and data networks via a user-friendly business phone. Designed to help improve productivity, the advanced media endpoints of Cisco Unified IP Phones enhance the end-user experience.

Features include:

  • Colour liquid crystal display (LCD), including dynamic soft keys for call features and functions
  • Support for information services, including Extensible Markup Language (XML) capabilities to extend IP phone systems
  • The capability to customize XML-based services to let users access a variety of information, such as stock quotes, employee directories, and web content

Cisco is a San Francisco-based American company, operating since 1984. A designer, manufacturer and seller of IP-based networking products and services, Cisco supports businesses of all sizes.

Recent Cisco news will see a development in its IP-based services and applications. A proposed partnership with Apple, announced last month, will bring iPhone business calls onto corporate networks.
Many Organisations operate legacy applications, some on old mainframes. This means current IT infrastructure has to manage the use of both desktop and virtual applications, in order to accommodate the increasing use of BOYD.

Recognising the importance of iOS devices in the workplace, it’s thought that Cisco and Apple will bring together the two technologies, by optimising networks for iOS devices and providing apps to allow employees to access vital corporate data. This is good news for iOS devices in terms of prioritisation of data traffic, streamlining data flows and software updates. It will also allow tracking of calls, as well as logging for security and regulation compliance.
