The MB.Link managed IPT solution suite is a comprehensive service, providing a single point of contact that designs, builds, and manages the complete IPT solution leveraging the Asterisk platform.
MB.Link IPT Asterisk is a product suite based on Asterisk, an open source Linux based solution that GLS builds, installs and manages as part of the IPT network design. MB.Link IPT Asterisk is a comprehensive managed solution that is feature rich and provides great flexibility. GLS works to design the IPT solution so that customers can maximize their current equipment and network investments while leveraging the benefits of IPT. The open source Asterisk system uses Polycom phones and has a robust feature set and is extremely reliable. The only costs for the Asterisk IP PBX system are the costs of the server hardware configuration, Polycom phones, and the cost for GLS to build and configure the system. When compared to the cost of building and deploying one of the popular proprietary systems such as Cisco, Avaya or Shoretel IP PBX the MB.Link IPT Asterisk solution can be implemented for just a small fraction of the cost.
MB.Link IPT is a custom designed solution that is fully managed which takes the headaches of converting to IPT off the customer. The custom design process insures that the entire network configuration has been reviewed and recommendations for increased performance and optimized costs have been built into the network design recommendation.
