IP Voice Communications Platform
Introduction
Wesley Clover Solutions has introduced a ground-breaking approach to voice trading communications for financial trading enterprises.
Our solution meets the needs of both trading floor and general office staff in a single IP voice communications platform. The system can eliminate the constraints and costs of having two separate voice systems while delivering significant price vs. performance gains in reliability, resilience, scalability and feature/functionality for traders and their IT teams. For the first time customers have an option for an “all-in-one” voice solution that meets the voice communications requirements of their entire firm.
How The System Works
The system is based on a proven IP architecture that combines the advanced feature/functionality of a PBX (more than 500 features) with unique requirements of trading floors in a single platform. The heart of the system is a high-availability media gateway voice switching infrastructure that is a rack mountable, dual bus voice switch that supports both legacy TDM and converged IP environments simultaneously.
System Highlights
- Supports all standard turret/PBX features & functions
- Scalable from several users to hundreds
- Supports all major signaling standards and types
- Can be premise-based or hosted
- Can be standalone or clustered topology
- Converged network-enabled
- LAN agnostic (supports VLAN)
- Linux Operating System
- Local or PoE power options
