Edgewater Networks and Mitel Partner to Certify the 6800 Series SIP Phones in Edgewater Networks QuickConnect Interoperability Lab

SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--Edgewater Networks, the leader in Network Edge Orchestration, today announced that it has certified the Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phones with its portfolio of EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges. The certification was conducted in Edgewater Networks’ QuickConnect Interoperability Lab with Mitel phone models 6863i, 6865i, 6867i, 6869i and 6873i and Edgewater Networks EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges and EdgeView Service Control Center. The results are documented in an Edgewater Networks Configuration Guide for easy deployment and integration.

“The certification of our 6800 Series SIP Phones in Edgewater Networks’ QuickConnect Lab means service providers deploying Mitel phones with Edgewater Networks’ Intelligent Edges to deploy and turn-up our joint solutions quickly and seamlessly with reduced downtime,” said Al Hurren, VP of Research & Development at Mitel. “The QuickConnect Interoperability Lab certification also provides our customers with optimized voice quality through central and proactive management of all endpoints.”

Mitel 6800 SIP Desk Phones are designed with built-in HD wideband audio, an enhanced speakerphone, and advanced audio processing. The phones produce crisper sound and clearer audio pickups, allowing all participants to have informative and engaging conversations over IP networks. This highly-engineered audio quality is a perfect complement to the advanced capabilities of Intelligent Edges. When combined with the advanced quality monitoring abilities of the Edgewater Networks Network Edge Orchestration Platform, the Mitel 6800 SIP Desk Phones produce superior audio performance unmarred by dropouts or jitter.

“The certification process helps service providers and end users deploy the joint Edgewater Networks and Mitel solution with confidence,” says Jennifer Kidd, VP of Business Development and head of the QuickConnect Interoperability Lab for Edgewater Networks. “The QuickConnect Certification process ensures ongoing interoperability between Edgewater Networks Intelligent Edges and the Mitel 6800 Series SIP Phones, and the QuickConnect Configuration Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to configure certified products to work seamlessly with the Intelligent Edge.”

Intelligent Edges are a key component of the Edgewater Networks’ Network Edge Orchestration Platform. IP Enpoints like Mitel’s 6800 series phones are connected directly to EdgeMarc Intelligent Edges, letting service providers control, monitor, and provision through the cloud-based EdgeView Service Control Center. Network Edge Orchestration lets service providers perform continuous monitoring and analytics on end-customer SIP Trunking and Hosted PBX deployments, providing tools to detect and deflect cyberattacks, and proactively remediate service quality issues, eliminating disruptions to customer day-to-day operations.
