maximiser is the ideal telephone system for Business Parks, Universities, Colleges, Schools or other organisations spread across a Campus environment. Each maximiser system is constructed around just two modular components, so it's very easy to put together. Exactly how you choose to do so will very much depend on exactly what you need it to deliver for your business.

 

In a simple implementation, all maximiser modules can be mounted together, in a single 19-inch rack, typically located in the IT/Comms room. However, maximiser's unique architecture allows it to be overlaid on top of any IP infrastructure. So individual modules can be distributed anywhere on the company LAN as local inter-module connectivity is achieved via Ethernet. This allows your existing investment in LAN switches and structured Category 5/5e/6 cabling, fibre or Wireless IP to be maximised and modules to be placed exactly where they're needed, greatly reducing the quantity and distance of cabling and/or other LAN infrastructure required when compared to traditional, or even IP-enabled PBXs. This powerful location independent architecture also enables the installation of a single maximiser system that spans multiple locations across IP Wide Area Network (WAN) connections should this be a requirement.

 

The ability to deploy a maximiser solution across a wide geographical area and/or distributed sites allows your business to deliver constant and feature rich service to your stake holders/customers and employees, totally independent of their location. Single-site, campus/business park, or multi-site network - it's all just a single system as far as maximiser's concerned.

 

Calls to/from the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) can be delivered across ISDN trunks (Primary Rate and Basic Rate), IP trunks (SIP & H.323) and via any existing telephone systems you might have using DPNSS or ISDN S-Bus connections. maximiser treats all these different trunk technologies as equals, providing true one-world communications without the need for additional Gateways, delivering both choice and future-proofing.  

 

The total current capacity of the maximiser 5 Series system is 10,000 extensions and 200 Call Servers. Each 5100 Call Server module handles up to 500 extensions be they analogue, IP or any mix of the two. If your requirement is for more than 500 extensions simply add more Call Servers. This approach allows systems to grow in an organic manner without the need to upgrade or replace processors and cabinets as is the case with traditional PBXs. Yet no matter how big or small your system may be, or how many sites it's spread across, it still appears to your employees as one single entity - and what's more it's managed as a single system, allowing you to significantly reduce management costs.

 

For Campus requirements where over 10,000 extensions are required, maximiser XS supports up to 100,000 users. Utilising the existing 5 Series maximiser application suite running on Apple’s high-reliability XServe Unix platform, the XS Call Server offers all of the familiar maximiser architectural trademarks – distributed processing, cost-effective scalability, equal support for IP and analogue phones and independence from the underlying LAN infrastructure. It also allows multiple Virtual maximiser Call Servers to run on a single XServe platform, with each Virtual Call Server being capable of running a different level of software if required. This makes maximiser XS perfectly suited for running Managed, Hosted and Multi-Tenancy IP Telephony applications in addition to meeting large scale Enterprise requirements. maximiser XS utilies the existing 5 Series modules to provide connectivity for analogue telephones, ISDN & DPNSS trunks and media relaying for IP trunks. This provides true investment protection should you choose to start with the maximiser 5 Series but have an eye on future growth.
