PCS Digital merges with Xblue Networks - 11/21/06 10:14 AM
If anyone cares, PCS digital (the people marketing a Tecom made clone of the Vodavi DHS) merged with Xblue Networks. Now it seems like they are markeing another Tecom product that also manifests itself as the Abrivo 924 system. I got the Xblue mailer card a few days ago and knew off the block that it was the Tecom/Abrivo switch. Only, the Xblue system phones come in black, silver, blue, and maroon.
