Grandstream is one of the few manufactures that provide all the products needed to build SIP unified communications solutions-including telephony, video conferencing, audio conferencing, physical security, networking as well as backend IP PBXs and conferencing platforms.

They offer a one-stop-shop for all the unified communication solutions you might want to integrate with each other. Because they make all these devices, they are able to further optimize their suite of devices to not only be compatible with each other but to actually add features and functionality to your solutions by allowing the devices to work together. Their products work together like any other SIP products, but they also expand their functionality when working together. The best part? There is no special integration or setup to achieve this. These features are standard and supported in the usual firmware.

Let’s take a look at some examples:

Facility access control and Voice/Videotelephony

Teaming up the GDS3710 Video Door System and any of Grandstream’s IP voice or video phones allows you to create a real-time, proactive solution to monitor and control all access to any facility using your telephony solution while also creating a voice and video intercom solution.

Video conferencing and Voice/Video Telephony

Add Grandstream’s GVC series of video conferencing devices to your network to create a dedicated voice and video conferencing room that is accessible from a simple SIP extension call. Videophones calling into the conference will receive live video and audio, while audio phones will hear live audio.

Analog devices and SIP Networks

Grandstream offers a full portfolio of analog telephone adapters (ATAs) and VoIP Gateways to allow you to put any analog phone or fax machine on your SIP network. Grandstream devices extend a suite of features usually only found in native SIP devices to their IP phones.

Mobility tools for your communications platform

Grandstream provides a variety of free tools that allow you access and utilize all your communication resources from anywhere, including the Grandstream Wave softphone app, IPVideoTalk web conferencing platform, remote access to analytics and data, fax sending from the web, voicemail and fax forwarding to email and more.

Data to optimize your efforts

Enhance and improve your efforts with data and analytical tools including call recording, CDR, customer billing, hospitality management, CRM, call centre and other data resources included in Grandstream’s UCM series of IP PBXs.

Build powerful business networks

In addition to every SIP endpoint and backend device you need to build SIP networks, Grandstream offers a full portfolio of networking solutions to allow you to purchase solutions to build your wired, Wi-Fi and VPN business networks from the same source that you buy your UC products from.
