Fujitsu Introduces Newest Addition to the F9600 Family of PBXs.Business/Technology Editors ANAHEIM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2000 New System Provides Distributed Branch Offices and Small/Medium Size Businesses With Powerful PBX (Private Branch eXchange) An inhouse telephone switching system that interconnects telephone extensions to each other as well as to the outside telephone network (PSTN). Functionality Fujitsu Business Communication Systems, Inc., introduced today a new member of the F9600(TM) product family, the F9600 LE PBX, designed for the needs of small businesses and network environments. This new solution is ideal for small enterprise organizations that need the power and flexibility of an IP-enabled PBX, as well as for large organizations that have distributed office locations. Fujitsu's F9600 LE offers the same architecture and software as the larger members of the F9600 PBX family, but in a system optimized for the needs of distributed branch offices and small/medium size stand-alone offices. The F9600 LE delivers the power and reliability of the flagship Fujitsu F9600, in a small, cost-effective package. The F9600 LE is optimally suited for offices requiring up to 64 lines. It offers a full range of call handling features, such as: -- Sophisticated call routing -- Calling name display -- Dialed number identification service -- Group paging through the speaker(s) -- Additional message waiting lamp -- Programmable delay before sending a paging zone -- Improved DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequency) features The new system accommodates a direct IP (Internet Protocol See Internet and TCP/IP. (networking) Internet Protocol - (IP) The network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks, defined in STD 5, RFC 791.

For distributed enterprise organizations that need network communications capabilities with other offices or their headquarters, the F9600 LE system offers full Fujitsu Intelligent Private Networking (FIPN) capabilities. Traditionally, distributed branch offices and small businesses have been limited to a key system due to cost constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference.

Fujitsu is offering the F9600 LE with advanced PBX and networking features at a price comparable to key systems, providing smaller and distributed enterprises with a total communications solution. Also, the F9600 LE's small size -- it is less than two cubic feet -- preserves valuable office space. "Remote offices and small businesses shouldn't have to compromise with less capable telephone systems," said Mohammad Raza, vice president of product planning Product Planning is the ongoing process of identifying and articulating market requirements that define a product’s feature set.

The F9600 LE system shares the same architecture, software, interface cards and desktop telephone sets with the other F9600 models. So as a company's communication needs grow, the F9600 LE can be scaled to a larger Fujitsu F9600 system. "The F9600 LE is a scaled-down PBX only in terms of its size, cost, and number of lines," said Raza. "It doesn't leave out any of the important call handling features of our other PBX systems or cut any corners when it comes to reliability and flexibility."
