In implementing the solution, Masterton Homes leveraged the existing wiring in its two main offices and deployed Alcatel-Lucent 4029 digital handsets at those sites, and tied in the remote offices with IP phones to centralize applications - like voicemail and greetings.

The network is also equipped with Alcatel-Lucent's PC-based PIMphony Attendant software application and Office Management Console. The PIMPhony Attendant enables call greeting, screening and routing capabilities. The Alcatel-Lucent Office Management Console software application centrally manages multiple sites as a single enterprise-wide solution.

Hubert de Pesquidoux, president of Alcatel-Lucent's enterprise activities, said the company is pleased to see Masterton Homes as its 10 millionth SMB user and is excited to continue to help companies of all sizes transform their networks with either in-house deployments or as part of a managed communications solution through a network operator.
