This versatility makes the 4600 series an appealing choice for businesses looking to future-proof their communication systems.

Security is a major consideration in any enterprise communication solution, and Avaya has incorporated features in the 4600 series to protect against unauthorized access and cyber threats. Encryption protocols help safeguard call data, ensuring that sensitive business information remains secure.
