Panasonic, has announced the launch of its revolutionary IP-based office communication systems – the Panasonic KX-TDE series of Full-IP PBXs, IP phones and network cameras.
 
"Globally, offices are shifting from traditional telecom systems to low-cost, flexible IP systems that take full advantage of rapid growth in IP applications. However, it is difficult to switch an existing traditional telecom line to a Full-IP system all at once due to time and cost restrictions.

Empowered with latest SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) technology, Panasonic KX-TDE IP PBXs embrace Full-IP telephony and offer an easy migration path. Even the SMEs that do not have the requisite infrastructure and the know-how can make the most of this solution," said Mr. Gary Gay, Product Category Owner, SAARC countries, Singapore, Indonesia & Vietnam.

According to Mr. Ashish Dhole, Business Head (PBX), Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. (India Branch Office), "Our KX-TDE series of IP-PBX systems support traditional telecom lines, allowing IP systems to be integrated with conventional telecom systems such as ISDN and analog lines – making it an optimal solution for those who wish to smoothly migrate to an IP system while continuing to use their existing telecom network. In fact, existing users of Panasonic's Hybrid KX-TDA PBX systems can simply upgrade to the new KX-TDE series by simply replacing the main card (IPCMPR card)."

In case there's no specific desk for the user in the office or he/she moves locations, it is possible to use any extension and still have his/her extension setting available on that particular extension. Any brand or model of mobile phones can be integrated with the KX-TDE series. There's a built in simplified voice mail feature that provides answering machine services. Panasonic KX-TDE series is easy to maintain and program as up to four TDEs connected to the network can be programmed by one PC, all of the PBX programs can be set simultaneously. 

The best match for Panasonic KX-TDE Full-IP PBXs is the Panasonic KX-NT300 series of proprietary IP phones that feature comprehensive IP telephony functions. They are stylish and ergonomically designed – the phone base and the LCD tilt to easy-to-view angles. Peer-to-peer connection i.e. direct communication between two KX-NT300 series phone units is available after being established by the PBX which reduces network traffic and the load on VoIP (Voice over IP) resources in the PBX.

The KX-NT366 phone model features 12 flexible buttons with an LCD screen next to them. A total of 48 different functions (or telephone numbers) can be assigned to these 12 buttons through personal or system programming. The LCD screen displays the name of the function or the contact against every button (self labeling) .

Panasonic's new IP-based office communication systems are specially tailored for SMEs across all categories. They can be easily scaled up to suit the requirements of enterprises like hotels / hospitality vertical (possibility of PC integration to allow guest room billing & system management), sales, administration (keeps costs under control), medical, health service (custom-made solutions that can be integrated with computers to support administrative tools and emergency call systems), construction, customer service, call centers and BPOs / ITeS companies, production enterprises, logistics (possibility for integration into modern EDP systems and mobile accessibility) and legal industry (law firms, notaries, attorneys, solicitors etc have specific requirements when it comes to business communication).

Mobility & Wireless handsets (up to 128 units) can be connected to the KX-TDE Full-IP PBXs. The wireless range can be extended through use of multiple cell stations that boost flexibility and mobility of the wireless handse
