Call One, one of the leading technology solutions innovators in the market today, can simplify and streamline your business UC applications thanks to a powerful addition to the to the ShoreTel product portfolio. 
The all-new, virtual ShoreTel Connect Edge Gateway single handedly eliminates the need for a VPN concentrator, complex firewall configurations and advanced routing to support remote users.  
Prior to the emergence of the Edge Gateway, full feature functionality and connectivity at remote users was a complex task.  Remote phones (limited to a few of the more expensive models) could be configured using the VPN concentrator, but to use your Communicator client or conference bridge add-ins required running a VPN connection back to the corporate office.  Softphone features also needed that same VPN connectivity.  Advanced routing needed to be configured at all entry points to ensure that the remote device would communicate with all elements of the voice network.  Functionality could be a problem in many situations. 
The ShoreTel Connect Edge Gateway simplifies that situation. As a remote access solution offering to ShoreTel ONSITE customers, the Connect Edge Gateway makes it possible for remote users to easily become part of your business ShoreTel network by using an endpoint such as the 400-series IP phone or the  Connect client.  All that is needed is an active internet connection.  
The Connect Edge Gateway is deployed on the business premises and does not require a third-party VPN client. It can be accessed and configured through Connect Director, a single administrative interface to manage the system.  And in the near future, Mobility clinets will be managed through the same device, eliminating the cost and complexity of Mobility hardware.  Call One's sales engineers and project management teams are well versed in the best application and implementation solutions.
No more complex VPN and Firewall Configurations. elimination of the VPN concentrator and the expertise of Call One, one of the leading international ShoreTel partners.  The ShoreTel Edge Gateway/Call One solution facilitates Remote Phone, Connect Client and Softphone functionality all in a single appliance. 
 
UC Solutions SIMPLIFIED.  Welcome to the Leading EDGE. 

Like with many things in life, the one constant associated with business technology is change. Today, that change comes in a virtual blink of an eye, making a long term investment like a phone system even more of a challenge to figure out.

A properly designed PBX is key to both internal and external communications, the beating heart of your business as it pumps information to your employees and your clients.

So, how do you choose a contemporary system that provides a feature set that can expand the present while not limiting the future? Hybrid was, as is, the answer.

For perspective, consider what Hybrid meant way back in 2000. VoIP was the new buzz word. But infrastructure upgrade costs made the prospect of a wrong decision daunting, to say the least. The stepping stone that lessened that fear was a Digital-VoIP Hybrid system. It allowed the flexibility to use existing voice cabling for digital phones while exploring VoIP where it was feasible.

Today, those buzz words are Cloud, Mobility, SIP, Hosted, Premise. VoIP is the standard in the business world of today, but what blend of this new palette does your business need and at what cost?
The answer is ShoreTel Connect, the flexible Hybrid system that allows your business to upgrade at its own pace. With ShoreTel Connect, your system can be 100% Premise, 100% Hosted or somewhere in between. For instance, does your workforce need a mobility solution but the investment seems too steep? Subscribe on a per user basis. Try it out and make sure it is a fit.

ShoreTel Connect defines the modern Hybrid. It provides the right technology where and when your business needs it with minimum risk and maximum availability to future enhancements.
