IRVINE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 18, 2013) - Toshiba America Information Systems Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division (Toshiba -- www.telecom.toshiba.com ), today announced that it has increased the capacity of the EP model of its IP edge ® Application Server to 24 ports, up from 8 ports. Adding IP edge Application Server to the Strata® CIX™ IP business telephone systems brings the full suite of IP edge offerings, including unified messaging, mobility, unified communications, and meeting collaboration applications, to Strata CIX users.
"In response to user and dealer demand, we have expanded the capacity of our IP edge EP Application Server to help Strata CIX and Strata CTX users take advantage of the many IP edge applications now available to them on the current platforms," said Brian Metherell, vice president and general manager of Toshiba America Information Systems Inc., Telecommunication Systems Division. "By making IP edge available as an application server to Strata CIX and Strata CTX users, we at Toshiba are bringing the latest IP unified communications and mobility solutions to our legacy users at a very affordable price. It also focuses and streamlines the same application server portfolio across our Strata CIX, IP edge , and VIPedge™ product lines for our Authorized Toshiba Dealers."
Using IP edge as an application server gives users of Strata CIX and Strata CTX systems all the application benefits of the IP edge without entirely moving to IP, an affordable solution that lets them mix-and-match digital and IP endpoints as necessary for their businesses.
Applications include IP edge Unified Messaging, IPMobility for mobility and single-number reach, IP edge Call Manager™ for unified communications, and IP edge Meeting for audio, Web, and video collaboration. Users of Toshiba's legacy Strata CTX digital business telephone systems can also upgrade to Strata CIX and add IP edge as an application server to enable these advanced solutions.
Using IP edge as an application server, users can take advantage of the following optional Toshiba applications:
- IP edge Unified Messaging , which delivers voice mail and unified messaging to the user's email inbox.
- IPMobility , which provides single-number reach to Apple® and Android™ smartphone devices, enabling them to act as an extension of the IP edge and/or Strata CIX IP business telephone systems for both incoming and outgoing calls. Users need only to provide their office telephone numbers to receive incoming calls and display their office Caller ID for outgoing calls. In addition, IPMobility provides visual voice mail to remotely manage and control Strata CIX Messaging voice mailboxes.
- IP edge Call Manager , which empowers the user's PC with call control on the Strata CIX so the user can make calls from an existing Contacts list, see phone presence information, text chat with colleagues, and make or receive calls via the integrated soft phone.
- IP edge Meeting , making conference calls more effective by providing an audio conference bridge with Outlook® Calendar invite support and allowing users to share their desktops and video, all within a standards-based Web browser.

IP edge Application Server is compatible with all the Strata CIX models: Strata CIX 40 (4-11 trunks or 8-40 telephones); Strata CIX 100 (up to 112 trunks and telephones); Strata CIX 200 (up to 192 trunks and telephones); Strata CIX 670 (up to 672 trunks and telephones); and Strata CIX 1200 (up to 1,152 trunks and telephones) models. It is also compatible with Toshiba's legacy Strata CTX systems when the processor and software are upgraded to Strata CIX.
