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-cla ss
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 creativ e
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.
