With the trend in the telecommunications industry increasingly moving toward the fast-developing and constantly changing world of unified communications, systems manufacturers need to be able to quickly adapt to changing realities, updating existing product lines and delivering improved and updated systems to their customers. That’s why it’s important to deliver systems that:

• Integrate and enhance the investments already made.
• Provide a foundation for future investments.
• Are comprised of intelligent and reliable systems.
• Are cost effective and drive business performance.

Microsoft® server with embedded licensing products provide several key advantages to telecommunication equipment manufacturers, including:

• Reduced Time-to-Market and Costs
• Increased Solution Reliability
• Application Compatibility

By choosing Microsoft server with embedded licensing products, industrial solutions providers benefit from Microsoft-provided development tools, software compatible with commodity hardware and industry standard protocols, a large developer ecosystem, and favorable royalty rates compared to Microsoft’s general purpose server systems.

Typical telecommunications deployment scenario for Microsoft embedded technologies

To thrive in today’s economy, telecommunications system manufacturers need to provide systems that are flexible, scalable, and interoperable. This requires total infrastructure and management control—from servers to communications devices. Microsoft server technologies, in conjunction Windows® Embedded offerings, allow telecommunications systems manufacturers to standardize on one platform.

From Windows Embedded CE, the highly secure, standard protocol plug and play OS, to the scalable Windows Server®, Microsoft offers the operating system choices and capabilities that today’s IP-based telephony and unified communications systems require.
