NVT Phybridge makes long-distance IP connections simple, secure, and cost-effectiveAvaya Holdings Corp., a pioneer in solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration announced a resale agreement with NVT Phybridge to provide its long reach, single-pair UTP PoE switches for IP modernisation as part of Avaya’s unified communications portfolio.
NVT Phybridge is a global company in long-reach PoE (Power over Ethernet), making long-distance IP connections simple, secure, and cost-effective. Its series of long-reach switches enable customers to modernise to an IP-based network, transforming existing or new infrastructure into an IP path with power.
Digital transformation
NVT Phybridge enterprise-grade switches are proven to help customers save money, eliminate risk and disruption, and create a robust and highly secure network platform; eliminating infrastructure barriers that keep customers stuck on TDM.
This is especially important for large enterprises like hospitals, universities, government installations, hotels, and others looking to accelerate their digital transformation with new unified communications solutions that would have previously required them to rip and replace existing network and telephony cabling.
Now organisations can transform their existing and proven voice infrastructure into an IP backbone without disruption or the increased costs.

By incorporating their plug-and-play solutions into the portfolio Avaya offers directly to the market, we can provide our compelling, cost-effective UC offer to a wider range of enterprises globally.”
