A concise update on Nortel's BCM: a legacy on-premises IP-PBX/unified-communications appliance, how it fit SMB needs, and modern migration options including cloud UCaaS and SIP-based replacements.
Nortel was a major supplier of enterprise desk phones and PBX systems. After filing for creditor protection in 2009 and selling its enterprise business, Nortel-branded phones became legacy equipment. Organizations should plan migration to modern VoIP and unified-communications platforms.
Norstar telephones were a reliable, feature-rich business phone system from Nortel. Today they are legacy systems maintained by third parties or replaced by cloud/VoIP solutions. Evaluate features, support options, and migration needs when deciding whether to keep or replace Norstar hardware.
