2.1 Introduction
MiVoice Office 400 is a family of IP-based communications servers for professional use in companies and
organizations operating as small and medium-sized businesses in all industries. The family consists of
four systems with different expansion capacities. The systems can be expanded using cards, modules and
licenses, and adapted to the specific requirements of companies.
The family covers the growing demand for solutions in the area of unified communications, multimedia
and enhanced mobile services. It is an open system that supports global standards and is therefore easily
integrated into any existing infrastructure.
With its wide range of networking capabilities the system is particularly well suited for companies that
operate in several locations. Coverage can even be extended to the smallest branch offices at low cost.
MiVoice Office 400 communication systems handle “Voice over IP” technology with all its benefits. What’s
more, the systems operate just as easily with traditional digital or analogue phones and public networks.
With the integrated Media Gateways any hybrid forms of an IP-based and digital or analogue
communication environment are also possible. This enables customers to make the switch from traditional
telephony to IP-based multimedia communication either in just one step or, gradually, in several stages.
2.2 Communication server
The Mitel SMB Controller, loaded with the MiVoice Office 400 application software, is a communication
server in the middle end of the MiVoice Office 400 family in terms of system capacity and expansion
possibilities. However all MiVoice Office 400 communication servers are equipped with the same system
software and offer the full scope of performance.
