Ericsson MD110 PBX business sold to Aastra
February 21, 2008
Perhaps this is old news already
A sale has been on the cards since they went completely indirect and the manufacture was outsourced (if memory serves).
I remember when the big UK PBX’s in the old days consisted of
- Siemens ISDX
- Mitel SX2000
- Nortel Meridian Option 11
- Alcatel 4400
- Lucent Definity
- Ericsson MD110
A bit crowded when certain other companies joined the fray I suppose.
Obviously there are no announcements from Aastra about futures yet, as this won’t be concluded until April 2008.
The MD110 had a superb installed base in the UK. Back in the day they had a very innovative and reliable distributed solution. It was kind of the Ford Granada of the comms world.
I’m sure this won’t happen soon, and I feel a bit like an ambulance chaser - but if MD110 customers were to consider change, they should keep hold of their Unified Messaging Onebox system, as it is an AVST CallXpress system in disguise - and that fits onto any IPT PBX. (drop me a note).
I’m telling myself that it’s just being helpful really
