Very impressive. The conference bridge is a nice addition, the phones are cool, especially the one that won't be out for a while. Glad they're not changing their fixed buttons and user friendliness. But... more licensing

As always, ESI is going full steam towards the future! Let's hope the road isn't too bumpy.

They also have a new Gigabit IP phone that has a 7 inch touch screen that runs Android software. It’s the coolest desk phone I’ve ever seen. This won't be available till next year I believe. But the new Desi-less phones are the bomb too! I'll post some pics later.

ESI 60 Desi-less Digital or IP 10/100 or Gig.


ESI 40 Digital or IP 10/100.


ESI 250 Smart phone IP Gig only. 7 inch touch screen Android software.

Interesting, I'll see them in person next week.

I understand nothing is available and no pricing yet? How is the new system itself?

Any support for third party applications of WiFI?

Flexible Numbering?

are all these new phones back compatable with existing CS ???

Yes, all of the new phones will work with the Com Servers! The IP 900 has all the same features of the CS and a couple more. No WiFi.

Does the IP 900 have any networking/firewalls? What the difference between the IP 900 and the CS. Doesn't sound like they really did much towards a true IP switch - hopefully I'm missing something?

the IP 900 is based on 1U frames and 1U's to grow. it will accept piggy-pack cards to add FXO ,FXS Digital stations. Supports API, T.38 and SNMP. The CS servers are Digital phone systems that support IP phones. The IP server is IP phone system that support legacy digital and analog phones and trunks.

Nope, your not missing anything, The IP900 is a CS switch disguised as an IP play, no new features!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a couple of new features on the IP you won't find on the CS server:

• Meet-me conferencing
• T.38 fax relay
• eSATA port
• SNMP
• API
