Product Overview
Epygi's QX3000 offers increased capacity for IP phones and licensable features for your growing business.
This complete solution supports up to 3,000 users and is capable of handling 500 concurrent calls.
Like other QX IP PBXs, the QX3000 comes with a built-in QoS router for Internet access, a firewall, NAT,
DHCP client and server, IPSec and VPN. It can be configured remotely via a web browser using a simple Graphical
User Interface (GUI). Since this solution is a pure IP telephone system, Epygi Gateways can be easily added
for analog or digital ports. This includes FXS, FXO, E1 and T1 ports. The QX3000 can connect to
the PSTN via the added gateways or directly to an ITSP over the company's Ethernet network accessing the WAN.
Many advanced features for the QX3000 can be enabled with a software license in order to accommodate the needs
and growth opportunities for your business.
When rack-mounted and paired with an Epygi QX Gateway, power redundancy provides added protection.
