Phybridge Inc., a leading innovator in VoIP infrastructure and network solutions, today announced that its UniPhyer is compliant with Enterprise and SMB Telephony solutions from Avaya, a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services.

The Phybridge UniPhyer helps businesses by enabling a low-cost, risk free, quick migration path to IP Telephony. The Phybridge UniPhyer leverages existing telephony cabling to provide QOS, PoE and centralized power management; allowing users to realize all the benefits of IP Telephony while retaining the reliability of legacy telephone systems. The Phybridge UniPhyer seamlessly converges with the LAN; allowing for non-disruptive deployment with drastically reduced costs and deployment time.

The application now is compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with: Avaya AuraTM Communication Manager 5.2, Avaya AuraTM Communication Manager Branch 2.0, Avaya IP Office 5.0 and all current Avaya IP Telephones.

“The Avaya compliance accreditation assures customers we have been tested with the market leading Telephony provider;’ said Steven Fair, Phybridge EVP. Our solution, in conjunction with Avaya, brings companies a world class transition strategy from TDM to IP Telephony.’

Partners can confidently transition their clients to their chosen Avaya VoIP solution using the risk free, low cost, fast, reliable Phybridge UniPhyer.

One of the companies that sees the benefits from the interoperability of Phybridge and Avaya solutions is DJJ Technologies, a successful Platinum Avaya Business Partner that specializes in the design, sales and install of Converged Telephony and Data Networks.

“At DJJ, we are always challenged with implementing IPT on the existing LAN and cabling infrastructure as both are complex and costly to replace. With the addition of Phybridge to the DJJ AdvantEdge solutions Portfolio, we now provide an alternative that is simply plug and play. It yields tremendous cost savings to our clients while reducing deployment time for our implementation team. It is truly remarkable.” said Rich Darress, CTO of DJJ Technologies.

Another company that will gain from the compatibility of Phybridge’s UniPhyer and Avaya solutions is TriNET Systems, an Avaya Partner that focuses on supporting organizations to yield lower operational costs, improved customer service, improved employee efficiency, productivity and job satisfaction.

“Today, our customers are being asked to do more with less, so it’s up to us to identify and provide solutions that help them accomplish that goal”, said Ken Archer, COO of TriNET Systems. “The Phybridge UniPhyer is one of those solutions. This product eliminates many of the deployment barriers, challenges and costs associated with upgrading and integrating communication systems between IP Telephony and traditional analog environments. The partnership with Phybridge will allow our customers to optimize their Unified Communications experience while maximizing their return on investment”.
