Enterprise Converged Workstation (ECW – 1.0 and 2.0)

The Argent Associates ECW (Enterprise Converged Workstation) is an office in a box. ECW combines business voice and data connectivity capabilities into one office-in-a-box.  It has all the features of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) and an Ethernet broadband connection. ECW is perfect for remote branches, small business and emergency control centers.  ECW 2.0 or Air Edge is being used for Smart Cities deployment because of the ease and rapid method in making connectivity work. The ECW is supported by cell service.   It’s as simple as turning on and plugging in your phones.

A cellular based communications system that allows setting up an office with all call management, security and collaboration features, ECW includes Wi-Fi on the LAN side and Internet access through 4G-LTE connections.
