SMB 1500 IP PBX And Key System Unit

The Whaleback SMB 1500 is a server that manages and controls calls for Whaleback customers. The system contains advanced PBX software providing all of the telephony capabilities needed for the CrystalBlue Voice Service. It is remotely monitored and managed by Whaleback Systems from our central Network Operations Center to ensure continuous service and maximum call quality. Software updates are performed centrally periodically to add new features and capabilities, and the SMB 1500 provides integrated security and high availability features and collects a variety of call data statistics. 

The SMB 1500 IP PBX transports voice signals over broadband cable or DSL connections via native SIP trunks to drive down recurring bandwidth charges. Unlike IP Centrex and alternative IP PBX solutions, the SMB 1500 is premises-based and software-driven to: 

• Simplify system management
• Enhance call quality
• Optimize network performance

It is deployed by a Whaleback channel partner at a Small and Medium Business (SMB) location and connected to the SMB's Ethernet network. The SMB 1500 offers linear, pay-as-you-grow scalability so SMBs can support up to 1,500 phone stations.

The SMB 1500 is an IP PBX that also features unique Key System Unit emulation functionality such as shared and bridged line appearances, intercom with hands-free response and group paging. Traditional IP PBX solutions and IP Centrex services often do not include Key System Unit emulation features, leading to tremendous user frustration.

Today, most SMBs select either carrier-hosted IP Centrex services or they incur the costs and hassles of deploying and managing an IP PBX themselves. But the SMB 1500 seamlessly integrates with existing IT infrastructure, enables managed voice services and allows SMBs to reduce the costs of voice communications by sending all calls over IP.The SMB 1500 allows companies to leverage Voice over IP (VoIP) to reduce capital and operating costs.

You can take advantage of the latest telephony technology without the headaches that come from the ongoing management of a purchased IP PBX. The SMB 1500 is deployed by a Whaleback channel partner, and businesses can take a "set it and forget it" approach to managing your IP infrastructure since Whaleback will leverage OrcaVision to monitor the operations of the SMB 1500 to ensure the ongoing delivery of reliable voice services over broadband access infrastructure.
