UNIVERGE ST500 8.3.17001

Today’s competitive and fast-paced business environment demands that employees maintain mobility and flexibility in their work. NEC's UNIVERGE ST500 softphones for iPhone cater to this need, enabling users to make and receive calls from virtually any location as if they were seated at their desk. Utilize office Wi-Fi for seamless communication within the workplace, while maintaining connectivity outside the office through mobile data (3G / 4G) to manage calls efficiently and potentially reduce mobile call expenses.

Implementing an ST softphone solution can result in significant cost savings for your organization by eliminating the necessity for employees to forward calls from desk phones to mobile devices. This setup allows staff members to easily place free internal calls and affordable local calls via the softphone, rather than exclusively relying on mobile devices for all communications.

By providing solely your desk phone number—not your mobile number—you ensure constant accessibility and streamline your call history and voicemail management, fostering more effective communications. The ST500 application offers various features for enhanced usability:

• Integration with iOS phone contacts
• Grouped call history
• Customized quick dialing panel
• Hands-free mode and Bluetooth headset support
• Video calling capabilities (H.264/AVC)
• Voice codecs including Opus, G.722.1, G.711A/μlaw, G.722, G.729a
• Dial plan configuration
• iOS CallKit and PushKit support

The ST500 application ensures secure communications with TLS and SRTP encryption, offering a range of call management features such as call waiting, holding, transferring, park, hunt groups, call pickup, DTMF dialing, call forwarding settings, voicemail access, and message waiting indicators. It's important to note that usage beyond corporate Wi-Fi networks may necessitate a VPN connection or a Session Border Controller.

The ST500 application is complimentary with NEC Phone systems (SL2100, SV9100, SV9300, or SV9500) but requires an activation code available through NEC representatives. Additionally, sufficient license capacity on the phone system is essential to establish a standard SIP extension.
