Introduction

DEFINITY ECS Advantages

The DEFINITY ECS is the first truly global multimedia platform. It handles multimedia traffic as efficiently as any system available, while its state-of-the-art design further enhances Lucent Technologies’ reputation for world-class reliability. The system not only accommodates but also integrates most related equipment throughout the world. Its modular design anticipates growth and change. All this translates to an exciting array of practical and creative applications for your business.

Adaptable

DEFINITY ECS’s open architecture and modular design make it compatible with a wide variety of hardware and software — both Lucent tools and tools from other vendors. These may include personal and shared computers, terminals, computer networks, telephones, fax machines, and multimedia equipment. Multilingual options are available for messaging, call-related displays, and many related applications. The system was designed to accommodate existing and anticipated global communications standards and protocols. It is adaptable to varying standards world-wide, providing efficient service even when connected to conventional networks.

Expandable

Modular port circuits, carriers (circuit shelves), and cabinets can be added to accommodate growth. Each DEFINITY ECS can also be networked to additional systems (DEFINITY ECS or other types) to service many simultaneous voice, data, image and video transmissions. These networks can be either centralized or geographically widespread. Regardless of configuration, the system is always expandable, for moderate incremental cost. This seamless expandability, from 80 to 29,000 ports, is perhaps the most important advantage of DEFINITY ECS. In addition, the platform makes available a creative array of options designed to anticipate growth and change in your business.
