Budget constraints (Cuts, Flat). Reduce the solution’s electricity costs.
Remotely “power off” the A/V CPU and TV during non-business hours. CPU + TV electricity costs are approx $100/year** (12 hrs of use) . Lower electrical usage and cost.
Budget constraints(Cuts, Flat). Reduce the solution’s telecom costs.

The Stick – How it worksThe Stick automatically answers inbound calls and ‘screens’ for Fax Tones (CNG) and/or Security Access Codes (DTMF).
While performing the screening function for both types of tones, a high quality simulated ‘ring back’ is generated to the calling party. After the screening function is performed the call is routed to the proper device, Phone, Fax, or Modem.
