Mid-size teams—such as regional offices,growing startups,or departmental units within larger organizations—need an IP-PBX system that balances functionality,size,and cost.The Redstone REX 200-A IP-PBX emerges as a compact powerhouse,designed to meet the communication needs of these teams without occupying excessive space or straining budgets.
At first glance,the REX 200-A’s compact design stands out.With dimensions tailored for small server rooms or even desk placement,it fits seamlessly into mid-size team environments where space is at a premium.Unlike larger enterprise systems that require dedicated racks,the REX 200-A’s small footprint means it can be installed quickly without major infrastructure changes—ideal for teams with limited office space.
Despite its size,the REX 200-A delivers impressive functionality.It supports up to 50 users,with a maximum of 50 IP extensions and 54 IP trunks.This capacity is perfect for mid-size teams that need to connect employees across roles(e.g.,sales,support,administration)while handling a moderate volume of incoming and outgoing calls.The system also supports up to 30 concurrent calls,ensuring smooth communication even during busy periods—such as month-end reporting or client onboarding.
Flexibility in connectivity is another strength of the REX 200-A.It offers flexible FXS/FXO port configurations,allowing teams to connect analog devices like traditional phones,fax machines,or modems.This is particularly useful for mid-size teams that still rely on some analog equipment(e.g.,a fax machine for signing contracts)while transitioning to IP-based communication.The system also includes Gigabit Ethernet ports,ensuring fast and reliable data transmission for voice and video calls.
Low power consumption is a key benefit for cost-conscious mid-size teams.The REX 200-A uses just 18W of power,significantly less than larger IP-PBX systems.Over time,this reduces energy bills,making the system a cost-effective choice for teams looking to minimize operational expenses.Additionally,the system’s Linux-based operating system enhances stability and security,reducing the risk of downtime and the need for frequent maintenance—further lowering long-term costs.
The REX 200-A integrates with Redstone’s NewLync app,enabling mobile and PC extensions.This is a game-changer for mid-size teams with remote or hybrid workers.Employees can make/receive calls using their work number on personal devices,join video conferences from home,and access voicemail on the go.This flexibility boosts productivity and ensures teams stay connected,even when not in the office.
For easy management,the REX 200-A works with Redstone’s Unified Management System(UMS).IT teams—often small in mid-size organizations—can centrally monitor the system,add/remove users,and troubleshoot issues remotely.This eliminates the need for on-site IT support for routine tasks,saving time and resources.The system also supports multi-brand IP phone plug-and-play,allowing teams to use existing IP phones or choose affordable options without compatibility concerns.
Security is not compromised in the REX 200-A.It includes Class I 3.5kV lightning protection,safeguarding the system from electrical surges—a common risk in office environments.The system also supports basic encryption for voice calls,ensuring sensitive team conversations(e.g.,project updates,client discussions)remain confidential.
In summary,the Redstone REX 200-A IP-PBX is a compact,cost-effective,and flexible solution for mid-size teams.Its small footprint,low power consumption,and integration with NewLync make it ideal for teams looking to enhance communication without the complexity of enterprise-grade systems.For mid-size organizations aiming to streamline operations and support growth,the REX 200-A is a reliable choice.
