Vertical Communications has got something worthwhile for small businesses and this is an all in one VoIP phone which includes a phone, firewall, router and wireless access point in a single package. As per the company it is easier and cheaper to maintain this VoIP system as compared to the traditional systems available. Up till now all the components had to be purchased separately but Xcelerator IP has brought down the cost of ownership with it.

The phone has a large LCD display which shows the call status and has four soft buttons for different call handling functions. It also offers integrated voicemail with a recording time period of four hours and it turns back to analog phone connection in case of power failure or for 911 calls. It can support up to eight VoIP SIP trunk connections through a single WAN/RJ45 port and three FXO PSTN trunk connections. It has an integrated 802.11g wireless access point, four 10/100 ethernet ports and one FXS port. Offering support to SIP trunking, Xcelerator IP eliminates expensive T1/PRI trunks and hence brings down the overall operating costs. It even supports printers, computers, fax machines and card readers. You need not worry about the security aspect as data can be handled wirelessly with password-protected system management, user authentication, built-in firewall, encryption and packet filtering. It's certainly looks like a nice package for small businesses.
