Toshiba Powers Small Business With New IPedge ES Phone System

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division, today launched its new IPedge® ES Server, the newest member of Toshiba's award-winning family of IPedge VoIP business communications systems. Designed for smaller businesses with up to 24 employees, the IPedge ES compact, single-server solution is affordably priced at up to 50 percent less than Toshiba's IPedge EP system, the next up in size. It is now available from Authorized Toshiba Dealers.

"The IPedge ES was designed in direct response to customer and dealer demand for an affordable smaller system that delivers powerful business phone system features," said Brian Metherell, vice president and general manager for Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division. "With the IPedge ES, small businesses will appreciate the lower point of entry while gaining the benefits of business continuity and networking along with easily transferrable licenses for future growth and migration to another IPedge platform."

IPedge ES software runs on a small server powered by an Intel® dual core processor. Out of the box, IPedge ES comes standard with four trunks and eight telephones, with expansion up to 12 trunks and 24 telephones. The versatile IPedge supports a variety of endpoint options, including Toshiba desktop phones, SIP-based stations and smartphones running Toshiba's UCedge® Essentials mobile client application. The IPedge ES has a three-year hardware warranty and includes Toshiba's Software Support and Upgrade Service (SUS). A five-year warranty is optional.
