Verizon Medium Business - IP Integrated Access

Overview

IP Integrated Access is specifically designed for small-and medium-sized businesses that are looking for a cost-effective way to carry voice and data over the same connection.

Because this service works with existing key or private branch exchange (PBX) systems, it typically does not require additional investment in costly infrastructure or desktop equipment. For your voice needs, you may choose from a local and long distance combination package or a long distance-only package, as well as a host of other optional voice features.

Benefits

IP Integrated Access combines voice and data traffic onto a single network so you can manage your network more efficiently and leverage leading-edge business applications.

It also provides productivity-enhancing products that are interoperable and address a range of size and infrastructure needs while preparing you for the next generation of technology.

Because you retain your existing PBX or key system and telephones:

No additional desktop, PBX or key system equipment is required
There's no disruption of services caused by an equipment changeover
There's no need to retrain employees on basic calling features or functions
You can migrate to a fully voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) environment at your own pace
Flexible growth choices are available, since the service is scalable and interchangeable with other Verizon VoIP services
