Anyone have any comments on Nortel BCM VoIP system?

[vi edit]

I'm looking at putting in a small Nortel system to do toll bypass between corporate offices in IA and AZ. We would also be putting in IP phones in remote locations throughout the southwest to toll bypass into the AZ corporate office. I've been looking over the Nortel system and it seems like a pretty slick setup. Easy to use. Easy to put together. And reasonably priced - for what it is.

We'd be putting a Contivity 1100 in the IA office and VPN it down to the the BCM 200 w/ a contivity 1750 in the AZ office.

I figured I'd drop a line here to see if any had any real world experience about the system. Assuming your ISP is decent, is it a decent system? They would be hooked up over T1's using the same ISP. The lines would be provisioned for data and not dedicated PTP lines. Just can't swing that cost.

The Nortel is OK, but the BCM is an old product ... check with your rep to see when they plan on making it end-of-life.

You may also like the Avaya system .... check it out (reasonably priced, expandable, will tie in to many PBX systems).

Good Luck
