Mitel 5000 Communications Platform

The Mitel 5000 Communications Platform (CP) is one of the market leading telephone systems in the UK and across the world.

More than just a telephone system, it allows small businesses to combine their voice system with their data network creating a cost effective and efficient communications environment. The 5000 CP solution offers a digital/ IP communications platform that allows businesses to network remote employees and locations, whether they are connecting offices and applications together over a data network, or deploying digital and/or IP phones to on site employees.

The 5000 CP is built on a flexible software and hardware platform that combines the best of data networking and traditional TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) switching architectures. The 5000 CP's latest HX Controller supports digital telephones, in addition to out-of-the box IP networking.

The Mitel 5000 is essentially a hybrid telephone system. 'Hybrid' means that the system can support a large range of technologies - Digital, IP, Analogue. In other words, your network connections can be digital (ISDN2e or ISDN30), analogue or IP (SIP). Further, devices and extensions can be IP (Mitel or other), SIP, digital and analogue - this provides true choice for you, the customer.

If your infrastructure is not ready for IP, then you can install a Mitel 5000 without any IP lines/trunks or IP extensions. IP can be added at any time allowing a gradual move towards convergence if that suits you.
