The edgeBOX from Critical Links, Inc. is a multi-service business gateway, geek-speak for a single device that will allow you to run all the vital information technology (IT) services your business requires.

The edgeBOX combines all these features into a single network appliance, managed via a simple web browser interface:

• Voice over IP (VoIP) PBX phone system enables sophisticated phone system features such as automatic attendants, multiple schedules, find-me-folow-me capabilities that ensure calls always get through, outgoing call rules that take advantage of least cost routing (LCR) choices, free conference calling, queues that enable customization of incoming calls, and fax-to-email and email-to-fax capabilities. Unified communcations has never been so easy or affordable.
• Internet router provides a high-speed connection to the Internet via your broadband Internet connection.
• Security features include an imbedded firewall that protects your system from hackers and other online bad guys.
• Anti-virus and Anti-spam protection ensures files stored on the system are virus-proof and that incoming and outgoing emails are scanned for viruses and spam email is identified and quarantined.
• File server allows you to store and share your business documents in a central location that is accessible by whom you allow, and backed up via a schedule you define.
• Print server enables you connect USB printers to the edgeBOX and allow shared access for the entire office.
• Email server allows you to have email services with your own vanity URL without paying monthly hosting fees to a service provider. You can even host multiple domains, such as “mycompany-a.com” and “mycompany-b.com” on the same system at no extra charge.
• Web Server allows you to host your public website, blog, or even private intranet site without paying monthly hosting fees.
• Proxy Cache server stores copies of commonly-visited websites on the central server, allowing subsequent requests to the same website to be loaded from local disk instead of over the slower Internet link, preserving Internet bandwidth.
• Remote access (VPN) allows secure remote access via the Internet. VPN acces is desirable for remote workers or for secure office-to-office communications.
• User access controls allow you to define who has access to the system, from where, and when. You have total control. You can prevent employees complete access to the system after hours, or to specific websites during business hours.
• System controls that enable software updates via the Internet, complete administrative remote access, notifications of system alerts, various system backup options, and accommodations for system redundancy, called Hotbackup.
• Reporting features enable you to see hits to your website, where your employees are browsing, phone call statistics, and more.

The edgeBOX truly is an “office in a box.” The edgeBOX provides an entire voice and data system in a single package.
