LAS VEGAS, Mar 26, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) ?
Estech Systems, Inc. (ESI) (
http://www.esi-estech.com ),
an innovative designer and manufacturer of high-performance telephone
systems for small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) and organizations
will be demonstrating the new Android? based ESI 250 Smartphone that
will be available to existing and new reseller partners for the Beta
release beginning in May. The ESI 250 Smartphone is the only
enterprise-grade smartphone developed and designed exclusively for SMBs.
ESI is demonstrating the Smartphone for the Desktop(TM)
and many of the new business productivity enhancing applications at ESI
booth #614 at the Channel Partners Conference and Expo, which is taking
place March 26-29 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
The ESI 250 Smartphone is a high-performance enterprise-grade IP desktop
phone that harnesses the power, communications productivity, and
flexible ease-of-use of the Android OS. Built on industry standards, the
ESI 250 Smartphone extends the robust features and power of the ESI
IP Server 900 and the IP-enabled Communications Server product line
to deliver truly innovative and productive business applications for
SMBs.
?We are pleased to announce an affordable IP desktop phone and business
productivity solution that has set a new standard in business
communications with its sleek design and one-touch functionality,? said
George Platt, President of ESI. ?We are proud of the ESI 250 Smartphone
and its potential to redefine the communications market and enable
business communication to be easy, intuitive and more productive.?
The ESI 250 Smartphone uses the Android operating system to deliver
powerful business productivity applications offered through the ESI
application Marketplace. The business productivity applications make
traditional telephone features such as conference calling simple for
anyone to use. Applications for specific vertical markets that improve
efficiency or information tracking will also be available in future
applications. The ESI Marketplace will be a continually growing
resource where customers can find custom applications as well as select
third-party developed applications including Evernote, SwiftKey and many
others.
The ESI 250 Smartphone comes with an 800?395 resolution 7-inch resistive
color touch-screen that enables easy navigation based on traditional
swipes, scrolls and presses. The integration of the Android enabled
device with the ESI telephony platforms and powerful applications will
offer the following benefits:
?
Quick One-touch access to internal extensions or speed dial entries
through 144 programmable ?soft? keys.
?
Easy access to Android-specific navigational keys: Menu, Home, and
Back and custom buttons for contacts and custom Esi-Keys as well as a
traditional dial pad as a part of the telephone device. These fixed
buttons allow for the touch screen real estate to be used for business
productivity applications.
?
Contact synchronization with mobile devices and other personal
contacts allows for quick access to all contacts easily from any
device. No longer do you have to search through email contact lists
separately just to make a phone call.
?
Enhanced presence management allows the user to understand the status
of the other employees with just a glance of the Esi-Keys by utilizing
the RFID access control that is available on all ESI systems.
?
Making conference calls is no longer intimidating or cumbersome as the
enhanced conference calling simplifies the process of adding and
removing attendees from conference calls. The enhanced calling also
enables the user to mute certain parties and provide for split and
private conversations among the conference call participants thus
allowing for greater flexibility on the calls.
?
Advanced real time call handling allows users to pick and choose how
incoming calls are handled putting the power at their finger tips.
ESI is continually working with partners and vertical market experts to
develop additional solutions that provide value added productivity
enhancements to the SMB market.
?We have been an ESI reseller for more than eight years and have always
been excited about the innovative solutions supplied to us by ESI,? said
Andy Schneider, President of Teletronics Information Systems in Tucson,
Arizona. ?We are excited about the soon-to-be-released ESI 250
Smartphone, as we believe the phone combined with the ESI systems and
applications will bring real value to our end users.?
