IP Integrated Access is specifically designed for small-and medium-sized businesses that are looking for a cost-effective way to carry voice and data over the same connection.

Because this service works with existing Key or PBX systems, it typically does not require additional investment in costly infrastructure or desktop equipment. And, to address voice needs, customers may choose from a Local and Long Distance combination package or a Long Distance-only package, as well as a host of other optional voice features.

IP Integrated Access combines voice and data traffic onto a single network, enabling customers to manage networks more efficiently and leverage leading-edge business applications

It also provides productivity-enhancing products that are interoperable and address a range of size and infrastructure needs while preparing for the next generation of technology

Because the customer retains their existing PBX or Key system and telephones, this means:

• No additional desktop, PBX, or Key system equipment is required.
• No disruption to services, because there is no equipment changeover.
• No need to retrain employees on basic calling features or functions.
• Customers can migrate to a fully VoIP environment at their own pace.
• Flexible growth choices are available, since the service is scaleable and interchangeable with other Verizon VoIP services.
