NEC Aspire Benefits

NEC's Aspire Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions allow you to place voice calls over the data network. VoIP reduces long distance charges by using IP to connect multiple office locations and telecommuters. Remote workers also have access to main office features, such as voice mail, allowing offices to operate as a single unit.

The Aspire S delivers many of the high-powered features of the Aspire but in a package tailored for companies using 24 phones or less. Networking to the Aspire using VoIP makes Aspire S a great system for the small/home/branch office.

AspireMail, an optional digitally linked in-switch voice mail, provides sophisticated features that save time and money.

Return call with Caller ID saves caller ID information for inside- and outside-originated calls.

Answering Machine Emulation is helpful when you are waiting for an important call. It lets you listen while a caller is leaving a message for you.

Message Center Keys allow two people sharing the same phone to have their own message waiting key. Each person can see if he/she has new messages.

Conversation Record saves and records your conversation into your mailbox with the touch of a button.

Park and Page allows a caller to page you before leaving a message. You can pick up the call from any station.

Automatic Call Distribution (ACD) distributes calls evenly among member agents and provides initial and repetitive announcements that encourage callers to remain online. Callers can leave a message if they choose to receive a callback from an agent.

Optional PC-based Supervisor with Reports can be used for agent scheduling.

Wireless/Cordless phones keep employees connected while away from their desk. Aspire provides a variety of mobility solutions to connect your whole campus or just your office.

System maintenance allows for online HTML-based programming access either onsite or over the Internet. Using browser software simplifies the process for changing names or speed dial settings. Special PC software is available for off-line programming and remote access by modem.

Call Logging saves information about incoming and outgoing calls. Logged calls can be redialed or saved to speed dial.

Aspire's Automatic Route Selection (ARS) system decides whether to place a call with a long distance carrier, over IP or, if allowed, a local trunk. You specify how you want your calls to be routed.

E911 Compatibility identifies the origination of an E911 call so emergency services can reach the specific extension location quickly.
