ShoreGear™ Voice Switches

Eliminate communication boundaries
With a single phone system spanning multiple locations, enterprises can radically simplify employee communication and boost customer satisfaction. Enterprises can uncover hidden productivity drains as employees use four-digit dialing to reach coworkers and seamlessly transfer, conference, pick up, park and intercom with colleagues between sites. Workers can even move locations and assign their extensions to any internal or external telephone with ShoreTel's Office Anywhere™ feature. Customer satisfaction increases as calling parties connect with the right people faster.

Confidence through reliability
System administrators can rest easy knowing ShoreGear voice switches deliver 99.999% reliability and use an embedded, real-time operating system. The system’s unique call control architecture enables switches to communicate with each other and distribute call processing evenly on the network. If a switch goes offline, its peers automatically compensate, ensuring uninterrupted service. Distributed call processing eliminates single-point failures, providing a level of reliability exceeding traditional voice systems.

Smooth migration path, seamless scale
With stackable, space-efficient designs, ShoreTel makes it easy to choose the right solution for large corporate headquarters, regional branches and small satellite offices. When the organization grows, simply add more ShoreGear voice switches - there are no costly hardware breakpoints. Enterprises can also migrate to IP telephony over time using the ShoreGear-T1 and ShoreGear-E1 to provide tandem trunking and coordinated dialing with existing PBXs.

Rapid deployment
Plug-and-play installation means enterprises can add new ports and users by simply connecting switches to the network. ShoreWare™ Director automatically discovers new switches and adds them to the ShoreTel system.

Pristine voice quality
In independent rankings, ShoreTel consistently earns top marks for superior call quality. The low latency and toll-quality voice delivered by ShoreGear switches are the result of ShoreTel's technology leadership in dynamic echo-cancellation and jitter-buffering, as well as lost packet handling.
