• Every teacher can have a phone in the classroom
with unique voicemail
• Dial-by-name on IP or digital business phones
enables fast communication
• Automate school directories to allow a teacher to
call a parent by entering a student's name
• Client or web-based IP soft phones allows teachers
and administrators access to school phone features
from home or remote offices
All of these features empower teachers, make it easier
for them to communicate with parents, and increase
their professional autonomy and satisfaction. And by
empowering teachers, you boost their performance,
which in turn improves the learning and performance
of students.
Converged Networking
Alcatel-Lucent’s network solution for educators
provides a converged, high-capacity infrastructure that
supports applications from email and broadband
Internet access to voice over IP (VoIP). With Alcatel-
Lucent, a district can scale its network from a single
site with basic Internet to multiple schools with
gigabit Ethernet across a wide area network. This
scalable, flexible network is the foundation for
creating digital learning spaces that will drive 21st
century teaching and learning.
Plus, converged networking offers significant cost
savings over leased lines and IP Centrex, while
offering more services and functionality.
