Many small businesses have multiple locations or are expanding into more locations.
For instance, the main or original location was established and as the business grows,
another location is added in a different area in order to better serve customers and offer more convenience. Using the Aastra at the main business location and a router/ switch
at the remote location provide an affordable way to link sites together; upgrade both voice and data services for the entire company; and improve customer service at each location.
