Telephony - does anyone use an Ericsson-LG iPECS system?

[TheCrust]

Hi everyone,

 

We are looking to replace our Siemens phone system that is getting very long in the tooth. We've had proposals for varied solutions from Mitel to Panasonic - and a couple of responses suggested Ericsson-LG's iPECS solution.

We had a demonstration of the iPECS setup yesterday and I'm wondering if anyone in Edugeek-land is using an iPECS system?

 

If you are, could I ask for your feedback about what specific features you use and how you find it?

 

Thanks in advance!

My previous school used an iPECS phone system. I didn't get heavily involved in the configuration of it, but the Network Manager seemed happy with it. We had various hunt groups and forward to x number after y rings etc.

 

We had a problem with phone power supplies failing fairly frequently, but they were easily and cheaply replaced. I'm sure the latest hardware models have improved this (but equally using piggy-back PoE was a quick fix for this as most of our phones were sitting next to a PC with LAN connection).
