The IP Video Phone can be used with any type of SIP Proxy to support Class 5 switching.

Integrated Voicemail System with Unified Messaging

Tornado M20 IP Video Phone comes with an integrated voicemail system which can accept and record up to 80 calls/messages. Unlike traditional PBX systems which store voicemails in a central server, Tornado M20 stores messages locally and can make them available to users even in cases when the service provider's network is unavailable. The IP Phone supports advanced Voicemail menu system to guide callers during the process of leaving a voicemail, and to allow remote retrieval and administration of voicemail messages.

Peer Auto Discovery

Tornado M20 IP Video Phone automatically discovers its peers located within the same local area network (LAN). Such functionality allows LAN users to talk directly to each other without the need to use third party servers such as Registrars, Proxies, or Gateways.

100+ Over-The-Top (OTT) and Free-To-Air (FTA) Channel Support *

The server includes over 100 built-in OTT and FTA channels that allow service jump-start with a large number of pre-defined channels. In addition, the OTT channels do not require bandwidth support because the STB devices will access them directly without connecting to the Streaming server. OTT and FTA channels are great IPTV service complement that provides better channel variety and selection.
