Cisco's SMB IP Telephony System - up to 96 users by March


SADA has learned that Cisco's IP Telephony system we blogged about on Feb 14th will get a major upgrade in capabilities in March!



This is unofficial, and not publicly announced yet - but word is, the system will soon support up to 96 users. This is up from the cap of just 52 users at any single site or office - so this is nearly double the number of telephones, and opens up the market quite substantially.

Cisco would formerly NOT recommend the UC500 / UC520 platform for customers with as many as 45 telephones, with fears that projected growth would render the system incapable of scaling to meet the customer's needs.

This is great news for Cisco, and certainly, wonderful news for Small Business (now, with up to 100 employees as 96 users at any single site!

The upgrades planned for the UC500 are to migrate the existing solution to higher densities within the sub-50 user market.
