Jeff Lem, president of qData, a Toronto-based Symbol partner, says the addition of Avaya's VoIP software fills the gap that was created when Symbol stopped offering their Netvision phones last year. "We will certainly look at any products resulting from this partnership because this will be a turnkey solution," said Lem. "Having Symbol team with Avaya is a confidence builder and will certainly speed the adoption of this converged technology."
The joint solution is available now. The Symbol MC50 has a list price of between $900-$1200 per unit. The Symbol WS5100 Switch, with a base 6-port capable configuration is available for $2,179, and the AP300 sells for $349. The Avaya IP Softphone has a list price of $130 per user.
