Plantronics Uses NET's VX Series Unified Communications Gateway to VoIP-Enable a Pan-European Collaboration

Plantronics, a world leader in lightweight communications headsets, is using NET's VX Series Unified Communications Gateway to VoIP-enable a pan-European collaboration environment based on Microsoft OCS 2007.

Plantronics had an existing OCS environment as a prototype for customers who wished to deploy voice solutions with MS OCS, and who needed a headset that would support it. The ability of the VX Series to link to MS OCS within an existing PBX infrastructure provides Plantronics' headset users the freedom of headset telephony with VoIP integration.
