Complement to Avaya's Portfolio
TELES Access Gateways reduce the costs for connections between fixed and mobile networks, and allow low cost dial-in from cell phones into enterprise communication solutions. In this way, TELES Access Gateways allow the provisioning of enhanced communication functions on cellular phones without incurring additional costs. They enable backup solutions over the mobile network in case of failure in the fixed network. SMS-based communications can also be integrated easily into the existing infrastructure. The TELES Access Gateways offer between four and 32 cellular channels, up to 30 VoIP channels and several E1/T1 interfaces depending on the model.

Seamless Integration of Communication Solutions
"Technology partners like TELES help our customers leverage their investment in communications infrastructure by integrating functions that complement their existing communication solutions," said Eric Rossman, vice president, Developer Relations, Avaya. "This gives customers more flexibility and increases the reliability of their network". Using TELES Access Gateway solutions, enterprises can, for example, integrate their employees' cellular phones into the Avaya FMC (Fixed-to-Mobile Convergence) and UC (Unified Communications) solutions to lower interconnection costs.
