Reliability, simplicity, a powerful selection of advanced telephony features, and converged communications through "business ready" digital subscriber lines (DSL) make Partner® Advanced Communications System a popular key system in the U.S. and the perfect choice for a small growing business.

Partner® Advanced Communications System is designed to help meet the complex business needs facing small enterprises today—with room for growth tomorrow. The "brain" of the system is a compact processor modular that supports 3 incoming lines and 8 extensions. The maximum system configuration is 15 lines and 48 extensions, or 31 lines and 8 extensions. Depending on your requirements, the processor module can operate on its own or with a 2-slot or 5-slot carrier and additional expansion modules. These expansion modules add lines and extensions to the system, or additional features like voice messaging and symmetric digital subscriber line (SDSL) support. The Partner® Advanced Communications System supports a wide variety of features that can be combined to give you greater control over your business. Productivity enhancements like Caller ID (including name and number), Distinctive Ringing, Send All Calls, Speed Dialing, and 5-party conferencing help your employees to be more efficient, while a variety of cost control features let you manage telephone expenses and monitor the performance of your system.
