Women’s Medical Assoication – Greenbrae, CA – NEC Univerge SV8100 Installation

August 13, 2008

In mid August 2008 Team One installed a new SV8100 for Women’s Medical Association.  We replaced their older NEC system that had reached discontinued status and included an old OS/2 based voice mail system.  The installation was completed in one evening so employees and customers would not notice any interruption,

Among the many benefits of the new system came a cleaner, greener and more organized phone and data closet.  The old system was comprised of three separate components one attached to a wall, one on the floor and one on an equipment rack.  The new SV8100 installed cleanly into a new 19″ rack clearing wall and floor space in the room.

Berkeley Repertory Theatre – Berkeley, CA – Zultys MX250 and Norstar integration.

July 29, 2008

At the end of July 2008 Team One installed a new Zultys MX250 for Berkeley Repertory Theatre.  This system was integrated with the existing Norstar system to ensure a smooth and controlled migration from their legacy system to their new state of the art VOIP system.  The PSTN service was converted from PRI to SIP and the SIP trunks were programmed to work with the Zultys.  Then we integrated the Zultys and Norstar via PRI tie trunks so that users on wither system could call each other or in and out of the system.  The Zultys system includes full call center capability that will enhance the service of the existing box office call center.  This unique implementation allows them to migrate at their own pace and within their budget.  Eventually, all users and departments will migrate to the VOIP system and then the Norstar can removed from service.

D.O.T. and FHWA Nortel Upgrades

May 28, 2008

Team One recently upgraded software on two Nortel BCM400 systems for the Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration in San Francisco from 3.7 to 4.0.  This brings these federal agencies systems to the current Linux based software release.  In addition, the FHWA system was field upgraded to be redundant by adding dual hard drives, power supplies and fans.  Both systems are located in the same phone room and tied together via VOIP trunking to allow the agencies to communicate seamlessly via their independent phone systems.

 

Here is a picture of their systems:


Seneca Center, San Francisco Nortel Upgrade

May 19, 2008

Seneca Center has many sites around the San Francisco Bay Area.  Their San Francisco Connections office has grown rapidly and they outgrew their Norstar CICS recently.  Team One installed a new, fully redundant Nortel BCM400 to allow future growth for this location.  A major advantage of this upgrade was that the end users were ale to keep their existing phone sets.  This means that no new phone set investment was required and no new employee training either.  The upgrade went smoothly and the end result is a larger more expandable system with no interuption to customer or employee productivity.

 

Here is a picture of the Norstar we removed.  They plan to reuse it at another office in the future.

Chinese Christian School – San Leandro, CA Nortel Upgrade

January 31, 2008

In mid February 2008 Team One removed a very old intercom system and upgraded an existing Nortel system to add new telephones in every classroom.  In addition the existing paging speakers were reused and integrated into the telephone system paging system.  This allows teachers and staff to make campus wide pages from any telephone in the school.  This was important for the school to comply with new emergency standards.  Team One also upgraded the Norstar voicemail and KSU to the latest software versions ensuring continued Nortel support and general system reliability.
