I just had an employee visit their local road show here yesterday. It's a glorified wireless router. It will support 3 lines and up to 24 stations. There will be added line capacity at a later date. It includes a VERY limited built-in voice mail, but it really can't be called voice mail. It's more of a basic auto attendant. There is only one phone model right now. All programming must be done using a web interface (limited phone programming; no system programming via phone). Four digit dialing is available, but it does not network with other systems. SIP trunking will be available.

It's really a Vertical product. Vodavi doesn't appear to have been involved with the development of the product at all. Despite the projected capacity, Vodavi expects it to entertain the 8-10 station market max.

With a base price of nearly twice the price of an STSe KSU, it's going to be a hard sell. It's going to likely be the solution for that small customer that absolutely positively insists upon having a VOIP system.
