VoIP solves Old world business problem

A news item hit my desk today where a IP-PBX (or softswitch) application solved a different kind of problem. Unified communications? Unified Administration? One network? Sure they get those things, but it was really just a matter of getting communication into places where TDM didn't work. I'll post the link here. Pretty cool application.
Tadiran's VoIP technology has been the perfect solution to resolve communication problems that have plagued the mining industry for years.

Tech Town - Next Generation Office Complex

Today we shared (with our resellers around the globe) a nice application of our IP-PBX products that was chosen over Cisco and others for Tech Town in Dayton, OH. This is a brand new office complex, the first buildings just completed. Tadiran's Coral IPx solutions will provide tenants of Tech Town with VoIP and tradition telephony. VoIP mobility with cell phone integration is simple and extremely effective for the almost everyone today. Standard stuff with Tadiran.

Tech Town refers to their target tenant as the "creative class". We can add that term to the list (knowledge worker, road warrior...) If you are interested you can find out more about the "town": http://www.daytontechtown.com/
