Telephone Systems - Nortel, Norstar, Meridian

Frequently asked questions:

• What happens if my Nortel Telephone system is discontinued?

  It is expected that Avaya will discontinue Nortel's Meridian & Norstar Telephone systems in 2011. Our guess is that Avaya will be replacing the Nortel product line with VoIP convergence system solutions. Because of VoIP's inconsistency and common technical issues, we recommend sticking with a digital format phone system. We have access to a large supply of Nortel systems & equipment and with nearly 80% of the marketplace still using Nortel, it's very likely that refurbished parts & systems will be available for many years to come. Nortel systems & equipment have been proven to last for over 25 years. So we recommend sticking with the Nortel product line because it has proven itself to be the most reliable and cost-effective telephone network solution.
  

• What is the most cost effective phone system solution for small businesses?

  Still to date, the most cost effective small business telephone solution is the Nortel Meridian Telephone System and it has been for almost 20 years. This system is used by 80% of the marketplace, as their business phone system.
