Avaya B100 Series Conference Telephones for IP Office
When employees need the ability to engage in quick, easy and spontaneous collaboration, there is nothing more effective than a conference call. A single call shared with multiple users lowers your carbon footprint and makes better use of individual schedules. They are proven money-savers; in many cases paying for themselves in the first meeting alone. Avaya B100 Series Conference Phones for IP Office are an ideal way to leverage the built-in Avaya IP Office conference bridge, deliver enhanced audio quality, and include an array of features that simplify setting up, managing, and participating in conference calls.
Features of the Avaya B100 Series Conference Telephones for IP Office include:
- · Superb sound quality using Avaya OmniSound® audio technology to deliver crystal-clear voice transmission. A built-in, adjustable equalizer gets the sound levels just right. An Omni-directional microphone and three speakers add to the optimal audio performance.
- · Ready out-of-the-box for standard-size rooms (up to 300 square feet.). Adding an expansion microphone more than doubles the voice pickup range. For a wider audience, connect Avaya B100 Conference Phones to a public address system.
- · Easy meeting set-up using the conference guide to call pre-programmed groups. Create a phone book with the user profile feature (up to 1,000 contacts per profile). Import and export contacts via the web interface.
- · Connectivity choices as participants can connect computers for VoIP calls, mobile phones, in-building wireless phones, and regular desk phones directly to the conference phone.
- · Capturing entire meetings as audio files on the in-phone SD card and/or use the conference phones as dictation devices.
Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series
The Avaya Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 is a series of high-performance Ethernet switches for small to medium enterprises, branches, and open environments outside of the wiring closet. A low-cost feature- rich solution, the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 is comprised of six Ethernet switching products, including 24-port 10/100BASE-TX model variants and 10 and 24-port 10/100/1000BaseT model variants. Models that operate in fanless mode and models that support IEEE 802.3af PoE+ are also available.
For small and medium enterprises typically with 100 users or less, these switches are reliable and cost-effective to provide converged services within single or multiple sites. It also suits medium to large companies looking for a compact switch to provide connectivity within remote offices.
Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 Series

Highlights include:
- · Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for small locations at cost-effective price points.
- · Three fanless models provide quiet operation in open areas such as classrooms, boardrooms, and retail shops.
- · Over 100 enterprise-class features.
- · Simplified operations, including one minute plug-and-play capabilities for IP phones, automatic QoS provisioning, and intuitive management options.
- · Pay-as-you-grow scaling. The 24-port models support Avaya stackable chassis architecture that enables scaling by simply adding modules. The switch can scale up to 80 gigabits per second of virtual backplane capacity in a stack of 8 units.
- · Complements Avaya IP Office solutions with integrated plug-and-play, auto-detect, and command line interface script features.
Simplified Operations
Many smaller environments have limited staff; therefore, equipment purchased to run in these locations must be simple to install, manage, and operate. This switch is well suited for these environments. When deployed in conjunction with an Avaya IP Office system, the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 can offer increased operational simplicity over third-party switching solutions through features that simplify both the initial deployment as well as ongoing adds, moves, and changes.
Validated Interoperability with Avaya IP Office
To simplify converged deployments for small to medium enterprises and branch offices, Avaya has validated interoperability between the Ethernet Routing Switch 3500 and the IP Office system. This enables the two products when deployed together to work seamlessly; eliminating the complexities associated with having to provision, manage, and troubleshoot a third-party switch with the Avaya voice/unified communications infrastructure.
Go Green with Avaya Products
From employee programs to the manufacturing process, Avaya is dedicated to being environmentally responsible in every facet of our business. As such, Avaya actively designs products, applications, and solutions that help reduce our customers’ carbon footprints. These include reducing equipment energy costs, decreasing office expense by supporting remote workers, and eliminating travel costs while retaining collaboration via enhanced audio and web conferencing.
Our commitment to high-quality intelligent voice communications at a low environmental cost applies to product portfolios being developed today, as well as those developed years ago, as evidenced in the following information:
- Avaya has had an ISO 14001-based EH&S Management System for its facilities and services since its inception in 2001, with EH&S committees to drive continued improvement deployed at most locations with greater than 50 employees. In addition, Avaya has an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System for its Design for Environment process.
- Since 2002, Avaya has realized a 40% efficiency gain in our terminals. When Avaya Gigabit IP Phones are paired with the Avaya 4500 Ethernet Routing Switch series, a reduction of up to 76% in terminal power consumption is achieved.
- Avaya virtualization technology reduces energy consumption by decreasing the requirement for physical servers when running multiple applications.
- Avaya terminals are IEEE class 2 and require less power to operate than many of our competitors’ products.
- Avaya embedded servers can provide considerable power savings when compared with OEM servers for low-end applications.
- The power consumption of embedded IP media processors has been reduced by 64%.
- The power consumption for conferencing bridges has been reduced by 84%, and their footprints have been reduced dramatically as a result of transitioning from a hardware-based to a software-based solution.
Why Avaya?
Avaya is not the only company to provide unified communications solutions for small- and mid-sized businesses. So what makes an Avaya IP Office solution the best option for you?
We’ve summed it up into three key reasons:
- Most cost-effective solution. As a single, stackable, and scalable product. IP Office makes it easy to start out small and expand as your business does. Start with as few as 5 users and grow to 384 users on the same system. Expand further with support for up to 1,000 users across 32 sites.
- Best comprehensive value. The benefits are many, including the added productivity of a 128-party built-in conferencing bridge and resiliency using software for failover instead of requiring you to buy additional hardware. The built-in hybrid flexibility doesn’t force your business into a VoIP infrastructure but rather gives you choices that can save significant expense. Whether IP, digital, analog, wireless, or SIP, IP Office can accommodate your business needs.
- Proven commitment to investment protection. A core Avaya philosophy is our commitment to give each business the choice of when and how to evolve to new technologies, including leveraging what you have. Whether it’s moving from a Merlin Magix, PARTNER®, Integral, BCM, or Norstar system or simply integrating with software or services you already have, Avaya is always thinking about your best interests and bottom line results.

The Analysts Agree
Joining the long list of awards that highlight Avaya achievements for the small and mid-sized business, the most recent is October, 2011, when Frost & Sullivan, Growth Partnership Company, and an independent panel of judges selected Avaya IP Office as the ‘European Enterprise Communications Product of the Year 2011’ based on value for money, features and benefits, go-to-market strategy, market potential, and customer adoption.
“With IP Office, Avaya introduced role-based bundles, thanks to which small businesses no longer need to select from various application options. This removes the complexity of choosing the right communications solution for their particular needs. In Europe in particular, products designed for working on the road, for example, ‘mobile worker’ and ‘power user’ targeted at executives, are the top best-selling solutions.” Dorota Oviedo, Industry Analyst, Frost & Sullivan
