Microsoft Teams is the world’s favorite cloud-based Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platform, with hundreds of millions of active monthly users. The replacement for Skype for Business, Teams is the default choice for organizations keen to benefit from hybrid working and cloud-based collaboration.

But Teams has become even more attractive thanks to its integration with Ascom IP-DECT handsets. Teams users can now exploit the proven reliability of these devices operating on high-uptime DECT networks.

Many organizations want to migrate from their legacy PBX and Skype for Business systems to Microsoft Teams. But they also want to maximize their investments in SIP handsets. And of course, they want to retain and/or add the proven benefits of IP-DECT, with secure and stable capabilities for personal alarms, voice, alerts, and messaging using rugged,  enterprise-grade IP-DECT handsets.

The solution consists of a seamless integration between Ascom IP-DECT handsets and Microsoft Teams SIP Gateway, enabling Teams calling functionality on Ascom DECT handsets. The integration is particularly relevant for mision-critical communications in demanding workplaces: where employees, equipment and processes need the confidence provided by robust DECT-based services. 

With multiple options, Ascom will be able to help with a solution for migrating to Microsoft Teams Phone System.

• For organizations with a need to add wireless VoIP service, Ascom will help tailor and implement a new IP-DECT system, integrated to their Microsoft Teams tenant.

• Organizations with an existing Ascom IP-DECT system can protect their investment and benefit from continued service when migrating their phone system to Microsoft Teams—it’s simply a matter of upgrading and re-configuring the existing IP-DECT system.
