Converged networks with free on-net calls, single onsite infrastructure, centralised reception and administration functions, a single provider for Voice and Data communication are just some of the benefits being realised by customers who have migrated to an IP Telephony platform.

Maxima can deliver an IP Telephony solution based on Cisco or Nortel equipment to meet the needs of end user with a service that can be tailored to utilise the existing network infrastructure or where appropriate Maxima will make recommendations to upgrade the onsite cabling, LAN switches, and WAN connectivity.
