Thomson’s Cirpack IP Centrex solution allows telecom service providers to offer advanced communication services to corporate users without dedicated equipment such as key systems or PBXs on the customer’s premises. IP Centrex meets business users needs in terms of flexible, cost and features.

Designed with the Small Office-Home Office (SOHO) market in mind, Thomson’s Cirpack IP Centrex is the ideal solution for telecom operators to launch innovative services such as:

• Home Centrex

  Allows operators to promote a multi-phone and multi-line service to their subscribers. Thomson’s Cirpack softswitch manages the primary line telephony services through the home gateway and handles each family member’s WiFi/GSM phone with their own personal DDI number. Thomson’s Cirpack platforms delivers unique features to each family member: ringing all WiFi phones on incoming calls to the fixed line, call transfer, call pick-up to answer incoming calls to any group member’s WiFi phone, 3 way conferencing, etc.

• Office Centrex

  A pre-integrated, packaged solution ideally suited to launch Plug&Play business telephony services to small companies up to 10 or 15 employees. It includes Thomson’s World-Class business gateway with corded and cordless business IP Phones to deliver Cirpack hosted PBX features such as call transfer, line supervision and call pick-up, 6 way conferencing, intercom dialing, hunt groups, call filtering, voice mail, etc. The solution can be enhanced with a Web interface with user self-care and a company self-provisioning tools.

• Mobile Centrex

  Thomson’s Cirpack telephony switches connect the VoIP and GSM service logics together to provide a full fixed/mobile convergence solution using existing GSM phones. Users have a single number for both the IP Phone and GSM phone for inbound calls, unique caller ID for outbound calls, dual ringing on incoming calls to choose to use the fixed or mobile phone to answer, and enjoy new PBX features on their legacy GSM device, such as short dialing, transferring calls or activating a multiparty conference from the GSM phone, being filtered and monitored by an assistant, etc.

• Multi-site Trunking

  IP Centrex is the ideal solution to deliver business telephony to smaller remote sites such as shops, sales agencies or remote offices with fewer than 10 employees. Multi-site companies need a powerful network solution to integrate these smaller sites with their global telephony system made of PBXs on some sites (such as the headquarters). Not only the Thomson’s Cirpack MultiNode-B manages IP Centrex services, it also provides carrier-grade PBX connectivity via VoIP and/or ISDN and managed a powerful and flexible voice VPN service with private numbering plan management.

Thomson’s Cirpack IP Centrex is a software application which runs on top of the Cirpack Class-5 SoftSwitch. It leverages the existing voice switching infrastructure to decrease the service provider’s total cost of ownership, while increasing the average revenue per user. The same infrastructure can be used to manage any type of subscriber over any type of local loop technology, giving operators a real competitive edge in this rapidly growing VoIP market.
