The technology Sabre use

This is the technology that we use to drive our customers' communications – all equipment is manufactured by Avaya, a world leader in the supply of simplified communications. We have been partnered with Avaya (or Lucent technologies as it was then known) since 1993.

The following are the ‘brains’ of our systems – the ‘Media Servers’ as they are formally known. They are listed in order of ‘power’ and size (maximum users).


G250 Gateway Complex

An enterprise branch office gateway designed to serve the communications needs of a small branch with 2 to 14 extensions.

G350 Media Complex

A complete branch office communications system ideally suited for enterprises with locations that have 8-40 extensions.

S8300 G700 Media Server

The S8300 Media Server with a G700 or G350 Media Gateway provides a flexible solution for growing companies seeking to streamline voice and data operations over one networked infrastructure. It can be used as a standalone solution for a small business or as a remote edge device for a larger enterprise network ranging between 8 to 450 stations.

S8500 Media Server

The S8500 Media Server allows for a distributed enterprise over an IP infrastructure in the mid-market space (up to 3200 ports).

S8720 Duplicated Media Server (for ‘high-availability’ applications)

The S8720 Media Server is a 19" rack mount, Intel Processor based server, running the Linux operating system. The S8720 with Communication Manager provides a rock solid foundation for a highly flexible converged solution that meets a variety of telephony needs. Using two processors to help ensure maximum up time, the processors can be separated up to 10 kilometers (6.3 miles) to help ensure business continuity. Supports up to 36,000 users and 8000 lines.

The following are examples of the telephones (or ‘endpoints’ as they are now known).

Basic Digital Telephone with Display (Model number 2402)

The Avaya 2402 is a cost effective two-wire digital telephone, for many office applications.

Advanced IP Telephone with Display (Model number 4620)

The Avaya 4620 IP Telephone operates on your Internet Protocol (IP) voice network. Avaya 4600 Series IP phones provide the same advanced calling features and functions as traditional Avaya telephones. This stylish phone incorporates a number of convenient features, such as a built-in headset jack, message waiting indicator, easily readable displays, hearing aid compatibility, NetMeeting compatibility, multiple programmable feature keys and display navigation keys.

PC-based IP Telephone - stay in touch even when out of the office – all office features available to the user, wherever they are.

The latest IP Telephone from Avaya, with interchangeable face plates. (Model number 9620)

For the user whose phone is just another tool on their desk and who makes and receives a minimal number of calls per day. This is somebody who is not an intensive user of voice communications.

This endpoint focuses on users who are on the phone constantly and have high mobility and voice communications requirements - they need to be connected wherever they are
