NorVergence Expands Product Offering Include Specialized Phones for Mobile Workers

NEWARK, N.J., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- NorVergence, Inc. recently unveiled a new technology offering that appeals to customers who have off-site or traveling employees who wish to connect directly to company phone systems from any location. NorVergence's new MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone will allow users to set up a work station from any location and dial into the company network as if the user was on-site.

NorVergence, a managed engineering systems provider based in Newark, NJ, typically utilizes Voice over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (VoATM) in its patent-pending MATRIX(TM) line of product offerings. VoATM provides toll- quality voice calls at zero-cents per minute and by breaking down packets of information and transferring both voice and data over the same lines. For customers who prefer the benefit of three-digit dialing between company locations, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is another option that allows for shared voice mail features and easy, fast dialing; plus, it provides near toll-quality voice.

NorVergence's new product, the MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone, fills a technology requirement growing businesses have: to keep top players connected to the company network while sending them into the field to conduct business.

The MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone is a phone that is given an IP address and is programmed by NorVergence. The phone can be connected to any DSL or cable outlet -- at home, at a customer site or even at a hotel when traveling. When connected, the phone works just like a regular desk set connected to the customer's NorVergence MATRIX(TM) Complete Communications Solution (CCS). Users can dial extensions, check voice mail, transfer calls and utilize all of the features of the CCS, such as Find Me/Follow Me technology. All of the functionality of the CCS can be passed on to workers who are out of the office.

NorVergence Chief Operating Officer, Alexander L. Wolf, stated that the functionality of a MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone to businesses will grow even more extensive once users understand the full capabilities of the product. "With MATRIX(TM) VoIP phones, business owners can now employ people who want or need to work from their homes; weather conditions that typically keep people from coming in to the office no longer have to keep them from working.

Companies can save exorbitant amounts of money on productivity that is normally lost when connecting with remote or traveling employees."

Mr. Wolf added, "Responsiveness to customers, team dynamics, and general productivity are positively affected with the use of MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone technology."

The MATRIX(TM) VoIP phone is just one of the features NorVergence includes in its new T1 Fortress(TM) offering. Other features include Unlimited Audio Conference Calling, Unlimited Web Conferencing, Employee Surf Controls and more than a dozen other applications.
