Modern unified communications offer substantial benefits to your small- or medium-sized business that you really shouldn't be ignoring in the Internet Age. With a modern business gateway/router like the ADTRAN 924, you can do far more with your communications than was possible even a few years ago.
The Benefits of Modern Unified Communications
With an ADTRAN Total Access 924 gateway and unified communications, you could:
Move into Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone service, which virtually eliminates long distance charges,
Expand your ability to offer video teleconferencing to your employees,
Integrate your voice, video, and data communications into a single system,
Streamline complex communications management down to one console and admin,
Allow your employees to work just as easily away from the office,
Offer advanced communication channels, such as delivering voicemail as MP3s to employee email,
Migrate data storage onto the Cloud for security,
And more!
Of course, if you decide to upgrade to an ADTRAN 924, or to any other new networking equipment, you have to be looking to the future as well. It's an investment as well as an upgrade.
However, ADTRAN products offer exceptional value for their money, so you're covered there as well!
The Long-Term Value Of The ADTRAN 924
You don't have to worry about investing in dud equipment. ADTRAN offers an industry-leading 10-year warranty on the 924, along with most of their networking equipment. Ten years is an era when it comes to networking technology. By the time your warranty runs out, it's going to be time to upgrade again anyway.
However, even if your new router can no longer be the centerpiece of your network, that doesn't mean you have to throw it out. All of ADTRAN's products can work together intelligently, with each individual unit being used to its best capabilities. Since they're all tied together through the ADTRAN AOS operating system, a flagship unit can simply migrate to a supporting role as new equipment comes in.
This high level of integration means that your investment is, for the most part, future-proofed.
ADTRAN also offers superior end-of-life support as well, giving you notification far in advance when a product you own is reaching the end of its life cycle. Additionally, your warranty remains valid. Even if ADTRAN doesn't sell a unit any more, they'll still support while you're still using it.
Plus, on top of all of this, ADTRAN equipment is less expensive than many comparable brands. On average, an ADTRAN router costs one-half that of an equivalent Cisco offering, while still meeting or beating Cisco on both features and reliability.
The 924 Is An Investment In Your Company's Future
When you consider the significant benefits to your telecommunication system, the low prices, and the unparalleled level of support, upgrading to an ADTRAN Total Access 924 makes good business sense. It will get you future-ready today, ready to last for ten years or more. Even if you have to upgrade again, it still remains a useful part of your overall network setup.
