Comms Group are pleased to announce the arrival of Avaya's IP Office Release 6 which is the first Avaya SMB product release since announcing the Avaya Nortel integrated SMB roadmap.The Avaya announcement on the fate of the Nortel SMB product line suggests a migration of the Nortel SMB portfolio to the Avaya IP Office portfolio, and some of the product enhancements suggest Avaya understands where they were weak vis a vis Nortel’s strengths.

Some of the significant enhancements of Release 6 include:
- Support for the 9600 series of IP sets. This phone was formerly only available on the Avaya Communication Manager product. They are now supported on IP Office.
- Video conference capability on the SoftPhone client
- Support for the new 1400 series digital sets. The 1400 series have the same look and feel as the 1600 series IP sets. Unfortunately the phone still has the paper inserts
– New line card for IP Office which includes: a combo 6 Digital phones, 2 analog phones, 4 analog trunks, 10 VCM channels, and power fail
– New Partner ETR card which includes: 6 partner phones, 4 analog trunks, power fail on IP Office V2
– Some significant enhancements to the resiliency functionality on the product especially as it relates to the voice mail resiliency
– Small Community Network now supports up to 1000 users
