Comm-Works to Introduce Innovative Telecom Suite-in-a-Box for Retailers at NRF Convention & EXPO; Enables Retailers to Have Temporary or Permanent Stores Telecom-Ready in a Flash; Frees up Valuable Floor Space.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Comm-Works LLC, a leading North American provider of enterprise voice and data solutions for the retail industry, announced the availability of its telecommunications Suite-in-a-Box designed exclusively for retailers.

Retail-critical communications components in a compact box

The flexible retail Suite-in-a-Box holds all essential retail communications components. It moves easily between mall kiosks and permanent store locations, and withstands the rigors of heavy traffic, under-the-counter and storeroom retail environments. Its rigid metal cabinet provides damage protection, minimizes service costs going forward, and ensures system security. In addition, the compact portable unit frees up valuable floor space. The retail Suite-in-a-Box is the ideal telecommunications solution for seasonal retailers, those that anticipate periodic suite or location changes, and others simply looking for economies of scale.

Retail ready - without the wait

The retail Suite-in-a-Box provides all the components needed to support up to eight phones with four lines, encased in a cabinet as small as 36" high x 19" wide x 24" deep that can be wall mounted or free standing. Inside are a 16-port switch, 24-port patch panels, the cable manager and an eight-outlet power strip/surge protector, along with a shelf that holds an optional IP office voice system, digital announcer music-on-hold device and battery back-up. Digital telephones and available wireless headsets are also included. Larger versions of the Suite can accommodate optional POS software, scanners, paging, ShopperTrak, etc. - all the elements needed to keep a store up and running and in touch. Retailers with multiple locations are assured of communications consistency with the retail Suite-in-a-Box.

The retail Suite-in-a-Box features the latest in-demand technology in a compact cost-effective package, fully configured and ready for installation, no waiting required. Installation takes just a few hours, and the Suite becomes virtually "plug and play" thereafter.
