Updates on Microsoft Response Point and Junction Networks.

Published: August 6, 2008

Some of you may have seen the press release from Microsoft announcing the release of the Response Point PBX and the role of Junction Networks as a preferred service provider. Our favorite write-up of the partnership was over at Asterisk VOIP News, though that may be because they included a glowing note from the editor about the reliability of our service. We tested the Response Point in our labs, of course, and found the setup to be almost ridiculously easy. The test network was set up and ready to go within 30 minutes of unpacking the box the system came in. Most of the Response Point customers that we've spoken to report a similar experience. The Junction Networks configuration can be downloaded from within the Response Point interface, which further simplifies the setup. Response Point is ideal for a 1 - 50 employee office with a set location and is geared to the non-technical administrator. The Response Point is a PBX, however, and the phones are "dumb", so they have to stay on the same LAN as the Response Point. If you like to move your phone around to locations all over the world, you'll probably be happier with our OnSIP Hosted PBX service. We've put up a Knowledge Base article as well.
