Rich Features: Cisco Small Business Voice Gateways and ATAs support everything you've come to expect from a quality business phone system like call waiting, caller ID, and voicemail.

Failsafe Operation: Should power or Internet service go out, selected devices can be redirected to a traditional carrier using the standard analog interface.
