Nortel bows new SMB networking products

Networking equipment vendor Nortel is taking aim at SMBs with new products that are designed to appeal to small business techies: a number of stackable switches and a new small office IP-PBX that sports some enterprise-worthy features. The company's stackable switches can be placed on top of each other to save space and once stacked, can be managed as a single device. Meanwhile, the new IP-PBX, the BCM 50 version 2, boasts features like call-center functionality, which allows small groups of users to act as a contact center team, call routing and queuing and customer call detail reports. The switches are available now, whereas the BCM 50 v2 is expected next month.
