Mitel and Sun Microsystems Unveil Sun Ray Unified IP Client

Posted on: Tuesday, 18 March 2008, 12:00 CDT

Mitel, a provider of IP-based voice solutions, and Sun Microsystems, have announced the availability of the Sun Ray Unified IP Client, a unified communications thin desktop, from Mitel in the second quarter of 2008.

With the Sun Ray Unified IP Client, Mitel has taken the ultra thin client Sun Ray technology and created a slim module that snaps securely onto Mitel IP phones to create unified communications desktop. This allows users to 'hot desk' into both the Mitel IP phones and the Sun Ray thin client terminals using a personal, authenticated Java Card.

The Sun Ray Unified IP Client provides voice and data services at any workstation on the network, reducing desktop cost and complexity while preserving the familiar telephone device.

The simultaneous hot desking takes place within five seconds of the Java Card being inserted into the Sun thin client on any terminal within the network, providing the user with access to their desktop profile and advanced unified communications capabilities.

Peter Ewens, vice president of global OEM at Sun Microsystems, said: "This combined solution is also among the industry's most energy efficient, providing ongoing capex and opex savings through the elimination of power-hungry desktop PCs and the reduced energy consumption of low power Mitel IP phones."
