* Affordability. Priced at just $225, the Allworx 9102 phone enables small businesses to convert all their handsets to VoIP. Since the phone manages calls over office network lines instead of standard phone lines, it operates at a much lower cost than traditional systems.

* Flexibility. The phone's programmability and customizable functions offer a tremendous advantage over competitors' VoIP phones. For example, the 9102 can be set up to reflect user preferences for PBX call appearance, key system line appearance (VoIP and analog), speed dialing, ring tones, direct station dialing, message lights, local or remote use, and more.

* Remote-user capability. Like the Allworx 9112, the 9102 features Allworx's industry-unique, "plug-and-play" remote capabilities. Allworx's 9102 device simply "phones home" to an Allworx 10x or 6x system by automatically negotiating through any existing firewalls at the remote location - increasing productivity and eliminating long-distance charges.

* Full functionality. Allworx's 9102 phone provides virtually all the features of the Allworx 9112 VoIP-based phone (which supports up to 12 lines) in a two-line configuration.

* Ease of use. Engineered for simple operation, the 9102 emulates both PBX and key phone systems so a user can enjoy VoIP's advantages in a unit that operates in familiar ways.

* Compatibility. Like the Allworx 9112 phone, the Allworx 9102 is compatible across the full line of Allworx servers.
