Could You Use OCS in Colleges? Sure!

The Three UC Amigos were asked about switching from PBX on a university campus to OCS.
(Read the article here: Low Cost IP Phones for OCS? )
I thought, “Great idea!”
A college infrastructure suits OCS pretty well. Up-to-date architecture, lots of communications going on every day…and there’’s high staff turnaround. Moving people (and equipment) around practically every semester can get tiresome. Normally.
If OCS is configured for it, it will auto-recognize IP phones at a new location. Staff can literally unplug their phones, head to their new desk, and plug back in. Phone works.
This can even work for dorms, too. (Most students have cellphones these days, but there’’s still a few stragglers!) All you do is issue a phone to the room. “Here, plug this into the wall.” They do. And it works.
There’’s a link to snom IP phones on their post too. I haven”t tested out one of these phones, but they look pretty darn good. We”ll have to get our hands on one for a review!
