“The system is much easier to maintain, so I can spend my time on more strategic work that adds value to LSST.”
PREVIOUS Challenges
LSST relied on an ageing Sangoma PBX system with ISDN30 and FTTC across its sites. It was expensive – with per-call charges and regular outages lasting up to three days. Maintenance was time-consuming. Manual updates and full disks often caused complete system failures.
“The NFON Cloud Telephone System from Clarion provided a host of additional benefits along with a seamless installation process.”
