Creating Secure Workspaces for Mobile and Remote Employees

 

The traditional office is transforming. Businesses require their employees to be mobile and work from flexible locations and on different devices. To ensure enhanced productivity, companies can build upon their Mitel IP-PBX investment and extend unified communications capabilities to remote workers via IP phones, soft phones and Wi-Fi / dual-mode phones. Opening up the company’s internal network to allow employees to connect from anywhere, any time (from hotspots, hotels and home offices), however, raises security and Internet voice quality concerns.

​

To deploy secure internal and external workspaces, the MiVoice Border Gateway ensures superior voice quality and provides comprehensive threat protection, strict access control, and privacy in a single consolidated server. MiVoice Border Gateway allows remote employees to work and collaborate securely by facilitating a complete in-office unified communications experience without being physically in the office.

MiVoice Border Gateway delivers the following co-resident services on a single platform:

​

• Teleworker Service

Turns MiVoice IP phones or soft phone devices into teleworker communications devices

​

• SIP Trunk Proxy Service

Can serve as a SIP-aware firewall at the edge of the company network and eliminates the need for third-party firewall devices, simplifies configuration and deployment

​

• Application Web Proxy Service

​

• Remote Management Service

​
