Built from the ground-up to reduce cost-of-ownership

Built from the ground-up to reduce cost-of-ownership

With ease-of-use as a guiding principle, the 6000 Series incorporates an ingenious and fast web based user interface–the StarLeaf Telepresence PBX Manager. With its integrated management capabilities, administrators are offered one view to deploy, provision, manage, and authenticate all end users and StarLeaf devices. It also offers one point to upgrade all StarLeaf systems. Phone and telepresence administration is simplified, fast and streamlined–freeing you from the high cost-of-ownership that results from administrating, maintaining, upgrading and owning a multitude of complex, aging, disparate systems. Architected to take the enterprise into the future, the StarLeaf Telepresence PBX eliminates the need for additional video network infrastructure equipment.

One universal dial plan for all voice and telepresence calls

With no need to overhaul your telecommunications, the all-in-one approach ensures control for all communication interactions; SIP, H.323, phone and video devices. StarLeaf leverages existing dial plans to transparently interoperate with current PBX and call control models. Phone numbers, not IP dialing or remote controls, give users visual access to colleagues, partners and customers. Now users gain voice and high-definition video communication with none of the frustrations or complexities of legacy video conferencing and telephony systems.

One consistent user interface

A breakthrough in simplicity and design excellence, the StarLeaf Phone is the end user interface; its touch-sensitive backlit panel, intuitively and visually guides users through a wealth of phone, telepresence and audio conferencing functionality. Whether it’s a phone call, or telepresence meeting, all you have to do is use the StarLeaf Phone.

True plug and play installation–zero configuration

With a single point for management, the StarLeaf Telepresence PBX enables ‘plug and play’ installation for all StarLeaf Phones, Personal and Group Telepresence solutions. Upgrading the StarLeaf Phone to Personal Telepresence only requires the addition of the StarLeaf Telepresence monitor, which plugs straight into the StarLeaf Phone. Likewise, the StarLeaf Group Telepresence solution can be deployed with zero-configuration. Any further configuration is carried out from the Telepresence PBX – the central point for all StarLeaf endpoint and infrastructure administration.

Bandwidth management, low latency and packet-loss resilience

StarLeaf technological advances ensure users experience the absolute quality of high-definition video even during variable network performance. Advanced error resilience allows a high-quality telepresence experience even on networks that suffer from packet-loss. With very low end-to-end latency all telepresence meetings remain truly life-like. The StarLeaf Telepresence PBX enables powerful and easy-to-use bandwidth management keeping you in control of bandwidth consumption.

Interoperable across existing voice and video installations

Naturally, the StarLeaf solution works with other telephony and standards-based video conferencing systems. As the focal point for all communications, The StarLeaf Telepresence PBX ensures full interoperability, eliminating barriers to communications. Additionally, be assured of a secure and safe connection for all telepresence calls entering your organization. When paired with the StarLeaf Telepresence Border Controller, the Telepresence PBX ensures that all external telepresence meetings are safe and secure. Without any further configuration, users can connect with colleagues, partners and customers using any H.323 video conferencing equipment.
