Comments Off on Did you know Cisco is getting out of SMB VoIP Market?

Many of you may not be aware but Cisco recently announced End of Life and End of Support on all of their SMB VoIP solutions, i.e. the UC540, UC560 & BE3000 product lines.  This means if you have one of these types of VoIP systems you will definitely need to begin consideration to replace it by late 2014 with support ending in first quarter of 2015.  Responsive Services International (RSI, Inc.) can help you replace these systems with a VoIP solution that’s not only a better product, because our solution has more features/benefits, but is also more cost effective and is from a leading company that’s not getting out of this SMB market but instead is focused on this market specifically.  Please let us know how we can help you transition into a better VoIP solution by calling us at (800) 658-2086 ext. 120 or via email at sales@responsive-services.com.  Also, keep in mind that the VoIP phones you have will more than likely transition over to a new system as these devices are most often vendor neutral, but if you would like to know for sure we can tell you that information as well.

RSI, Inc. is an experienced and reliable partner that can handle all of your communications infrastructure needs, including VoIP telephony solutions, please call on us so we can help you too!

Comments Off on RSI can now offer you Secure Hotspot Wi-Fi

Just released today from Ruckus Wireless, Responsive Services’ wireless partner, is an added feature in their existing technology called Secure Hotspot that now would allow any operators of open, public Wi-Fi hotspots the ability to secure user’s connections.  It is estimated that by 2015 the number of public hotspots worldwide will have more than doubled, from 2.1 million in 2012 to approx. 6 million.  This new enhancement now opens the door for cities, counties, restaurants, coffee houses, really any entity wanting to offer free public Wi-Fi the ability to do so and ensure their users are protected. Based on Ruckus-patented Dynamic Pre-Shared Key (Dynamic PSK™) and using Ruckus proprietary Zero IT Activation™ technologies, Secure Hotspot allows an operator or enterprise to offer secured encrypted access to public network Wi-Fi services by automatically configuring each device with the requisite Wi-Fi network information along with a unique pre-shared key—all without user involvement.  This is a huge advancement and only available through Ruckus Wireless.  RSI, Inc. is a proud partner with Ruckus and is happy to offer this ability to its existing and potential clients.  Please feel free to email or call us for more information.
