Aastra IntelliGate Scoops Three Awards from
‘What to Buy for Business’

The business buyer’s bible, ‘What To Buy For Business’ magazine has awarded Aastra’s IntelliGate with three awards following its independent survey of the Business Telephone Systems market.

Systems from a wide range of vendors were rated in the report, and Aastra IntelliGate systems were recognised with the following awards, including the IntelliGate 2025 which won the coveted “Best Buy” award.

• The Aastra IntelliGate 2025 was awarded "Best Buy" in the Hybrid PBX category
• The Aastra IntelliGate 150 and the Aastra IntelliGate 2065 shared "Good Value" in the Hybrid PBX category
• The Aastra IntelliGate 300 was awarded "Good Value"  in the LAN/VoIP Telephone Systems category
 
Michael Calvert, general manager for Aastra in the UK said, “We were thrilled to win these awards from such a highly regarded authority.  Business telephone systems can be a minefield for a small business owner, who will be reassured by a Best Buy recommendation.  The award endorses what we have always said about IntelliGate – highly featured and easy to use.”

Key highlights from the survey, as published in January 2007 issue included:
 
Aastra IntelliGate 2025 "Impressive"
 
Aastra IntelliGate 150 "Aastra ... has extended its range to include small systems which cater for
companies with up to 10 users.  But it still offers all the features you would enjoy on a corporate system".
 
Aastra IntelliGate 2045 "Very user friendly but versatile".
 
Aastra IntelliGate 2065 "A flexible system embracing just about every way of working".
