Avaya Upgrades Networks at Raytheon for Convergence

Avaya has upgraded networks at three Raytheon facilities by converging the voice and data onto a single unified, packet-based network. The projects, valued at $4.2 million, will serve Raytheon’s Space and Airborne Systems division in El Segundo and Pt. Mugu, California, and its Integrated Defense Systems division in Andover, Massachusetts. The networks at the California facilities serve 6,000 employees and are based on an Avaya S8700 Media Server. Employees will have the ability to use Avaya voice mail and “meet me” conferencing to improve productivity, as well as an Avaya Extension to Cellular solution that can seamlessly forward network calls to a cell phone if an employee is away from the office. At the Massachusetts facility, the upgrade added IP telephony support to an Avaya DEFINITY Enterprise Communications Server used by some 3,800 employees. Raytheon’s network will include both traditional and IP desk phones, as well as IP Softphones.
