Avaya Has Purchased Nortel

In 2010, Avaya completed the purchase of Nortel including the Norstar, Meridian, and BCM line of phone systems. There has been a planned end of sale of the venerable line of PBX's such as the BCM, Call Pilot, Compact ICS, and Modular ICS. Avaya has implemented a migration strategy to allow owners of Nortel Norstar Systems to leverage the cost of their desk phones for use with the Avaya IP Office PBX System, of which IP Office Techs has been selling and installing for 6 years now.

This has come to pass and as of June 2011 the previously mentioned product lines (with the exception of certain phone models) are not being sold as new. Please be aware that IP Office Techs will continue to service and program these PBX units and will replace them on request if parts are in stock. We anticiapate the parts will be available for many years to come on a refurbished basis. It will become increasingly difficult, however, to obtain licenses to increase feature counts, such as for example, the number of mailboxes available in a system.

Existing Nortel Phones Can Be Used in the New Avaya System

Avaya IP Office can now support legacy Nortel Norstar Digital and VoIP phones on the Avaya IP Office Platform Release 7. These phones include but are not limited to the popular T7316, T7316e, T7208, M7208, M7310, and M7324. Through the use of a new plug in module to the IP Office main chassis or stackable add-on modules such as the TCM-30, the capacity for the phones per system can be expanded to near 300. Furthermore these phones may be blended with the feature-rich set of of new and legacy Avaya phones. Theses include the new 9500 series which come with backlit screens, color display, touch screens, and bluetooth.

Rich IP Office Feature Set

Certain features of the Nortel line were not upgraded with modern business concepts in mind. The Avaya IP Office System is packed with new features and useability that our Nortel customers have asked for such as:
