The Benefits of Using Cordless Scanners

Cordless scanners are being used along with POS system and computers on a regular basis. We can normally see it as we pay our items in the grocery stores or pay the bills in communication companies. As a customer one of the not so favorite part of the shopping experience is the grueling part of falling in line. It would be a great idea if the process won"t be that long. Make it a hassle free and worthwhile experience for both customer and employee.


Samsung D900 - Ultra Smart Slide Phone

By introducing the ultra-thin Samsung D900, Samsung has really given hard times to other competitors.. The Samsung D900 is one of a kind gadget, which is keenly loaded with compatible features. As such, the Samsung D900 is a part of the Samsung"s hot "Ultra Edition" collection, but it is bit different from others. With thickness only 12.9mm, you would certainly feel, as if you are carrying two credit cards. It weighs only 85 gm, as it has been perfected by soft touch plastic and its designing is also devoid of any metal. The Samsung D900 is beautifully wrapped in black colour, which is bit diluted by silver insertions.


New family of ShoreTel SG voice enabled switches!

For example, if I have a New York HQ site with users, media gateways and workgroup services; I might have a North Carolina remote site with a DVM, media gateways and users.Workgroups are currently NOT a distributed service, so any workgroup functions will require the HQ server. However, in North Carolina I can assign the users at that site to Voice Mail boxes on the DVM at that site. Callers to telephone lines that terminate on media gateways at that remote site will be answered with an Automated Attendant that lives on that remote DVM, eliminating the need to stream that media across the very expensive WAN. (Note: historically the media stream was G711 as it originated from the server regardless of the Inter-site codec.Recent release of ShoreTel enable a HQ media gateway to proxy the media stream enabling the use of the lower bandwidth Inter-site code). Should the DVM at the remote site fail, the HQ server would take over for the remote site. In this way VM and AA are still provide to the remote users.

The new SG50V and SG90V are typically used as replacements for or instead of a DVM at a remote site. The question arises as to what would happen if you added an SG50V or SG90V to a remote site under the control of a DVM? One would argue that it would make no sense to install these media gateway in that scenario. In the ShoreTel architecture it is important to note that DVMð€™s fail upward. For this reason we might install the SGV media gateway as a new site under the remote site. So in this example we might install a new site under North Carolina and put the SGV media gateway in that new site. Then we might move all the users at the North Carolina site to the new SGV media gateway for voice mail and automated attendant. In this way, the SVG should it fail, would have its services picked up by the North Carolina DVM; which in turn should it fail, would have all services picked up by the HQ server.

The new SGV switches are very interesting building blocks for the ShoreTel architecture and should be studied in some detail. They also might indicate a move by ShoreTel away from both Microsoft and VxWorks. This is only conjecture on my part and not based on any fact other than that we which can all observe. ShoreTel has dropped the Microsoft Access Database in favor of the MySQL database engine. Clearly this could be just a cost cutting move. However, the SGV switches, do not have VxWorks, they have a Linux kernel. Taken together these may in fact be an indication of a product road map that is moving steadily toward a total Linux based solution.
