Vertical Ready to Go Mobile with Wave 3.0

imagePress Release:

Vertical Communications is pleased to announce that Wave 3.0, featuring Vertical’s new ViewPoint Mobile enterprise mobility application, has been approved for “Release to Manufacturing” today, following the successful completion of our field trial and release criteria. With this solution, businesses and users will be able to enjoy reliable and seamless mobile access to all of their Wave premise-based enterprise communications services and tools, including unified communications, collaboration, presence management, call recording, telephony and market-specific applications. With the release of Wave 3.0, ViewPoint Mobile will be available for devices that run iOS version 4.3 or greater. (An Android version of ViewPoint Mobile is expected to be released later this year.) Wave 3.0 also features the addition of DSS/BLF for Edge 5000 IP phones and support for future hardware upgrades to the Wave platform.

Most importantly, ViewPoint Mobile is built right into the core Wave IP appliance, giving you the ability to cost-effectively leverage advanced mobility capabilities when they’re ready or need to do so, without having to invest in any additional hardware or software.

  • Embedded presence managementimage
  • Access to Apple iOS contacts without leaving ViewPoint Mobile
  • "One tap" call transfer, hold and conferencing

Free 1GB of Additional Dropbox Storage

Michael Hunter, our Show Room Sales and Service Specialist has forwarded this notice to me on how to get an additional 1GB of storage for free on Dropbox.

For solutions to the questions, see http://dropquestguide.com and click “Just the Answers”.  It will take a few minutes to do all the puzzles, but once you complete all the steps you will have an additional 1GB of storage added to your account for free.

What is Dropquest?
Dropquest is a multi-step scavenger hunt that has you solve a series of puzzles (inspired by the likes of MIT's mystery hunt or notpron [though not nearly as time/effort-consuming]). Everyone who completes Dropquest will get at least 1 GB of space (even if you participated last year). Also, everyone starts at the same time, but the questers who finish the soonest get amazing prizes!
