Trio signs agreement with 3Com regarding sales of IP telephony in Sweden, Norway and Denmark Trio has signed a collaboration agreement with 3Com concerning the development and sale of IP telephony systems in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. An initial order based on the products of both companies has been received. Trio PresentOffice is the market's leading platform-independent call- handling solution for fixed, mobile and IP telephony. 3Com's telephony platform, NBX, will be combined with Trio PresentOffice, which provides a reliable attendant workplace as well as a referral function, a calendar connection and a web client for all users. The combined Trio and 3Com solution will be launched during the second quarter and the solution will be sold via 3Com Voice Solution Partners in each country. "IP telephony provides a host of benefits, since it enables telephony to be integrated with the IT infrastructure at companies. Developments in the area have however been slowed down by the lack of telephony functions. Trio PresentOffice will give users of 3Com's telephony platform access to a number of highly advanced functions", says Sverker Hannervall, President and CEO of the Trio Group. Trio's unique position is based on call handling solutions for integrated telephony. Trio PresentOffice, for example, allows fixed, mobile and IP telephony to be connected to form a single virtual telephony system, thus enabling attendants to handle all calls in the same way.
