The Merger of Mitel and Toshiba



Toshiba Mitel is a worldwide leader of enterprise communications. Earlier, Mitel Networks Corporation is a company of telecommunications that provides unified communication solutions for businesses. In previous years, the company produced TDX PBM applications and systems but later in the year 2001, the company switches over completely to the Voice-over-IP products. The company has its headquarters in Ottawa in Canada and has offices, partners and resellers all around the world. Similarly, Toshiba Corporation is a Japanese multinational company that is located in Tokyo, Japan. This company was founded in 1939 and offers diversified products and services that include communications equipment and information technology, power systems, consumer electronics, medical equipment, home appliances, lighting, and logistics as well as office equipment.


Mitel has acquired Toshiba and thus become 'Toshiba Mitel' with the understanding signed by both the companies on May 11, 2017. As soon as the contract is signed between the two companies, the partners and customers of Toshiba have a clear path in respect to Mitel that includes the ongoing access to the Toshiba services and products. Along with it, a crucial group of Toshiba sales, Research and Development and support employees will become a part of Mitel and will keep on providing support to existing Toshiba partners and customers. The contract also includes a service agreement to provide the continuity of products and services.




With the increased demand for Cloud-based business communications solutions and the business's productivity applications, Mitel strategies to focus on the expansion of its position in the UCC market with the acceleration of the digital transformation demand for reshaping organizations globally. In the continuously changing and technology-rich landscape, Mitel continues to help its customers to find a seamless path based on cloud technology. The company intensely welcomes all the customers and partners of Toshiba to join the Mitel family.


Questions asked by the customers and partners of Toshiba


Toshiba's partners and customers are concerned about the products and services they receive from the company. With the current acquisition of Mitel over Toshiba, the customers are concerned whether the products and services of Toshiba are going to be renamed or they can keep on receiving them in the same name and style. The answer to this is that all the Toshiba products and services are continued to be sold under the brand of 'Toshiba'. The company's well-known and well-trusted products and services are continuously seen in the foreseeable future. Customers can expect no disruption or break down in the services provided by the company. The products and services can be used until the existing warranty.


Moreover, the acquisition by Mitel offers the benefit of boosting the life of Toshiba's products and services and the products can be transitioned gracefully overtime with the Mitel's latest technology.

Know more about Cat5 and Cat6 cables

 Cat5 and Cat6 cables
Cat5 and Cat6 cables

Cat5 and Cat6 are actually the optical fibre cables which are used to linked different systems to form a network. Various hosting companies, large internet providers, routers and switches all are connected to each other in order to exchange information in the form of data. It is through cat5 and cat6 cables that are used most commonly and widely to carry data from one station to another. The popularity of both these cables is such that it is very easy to find cat6 cable installation in NYC and cat5 cable installation in NYC. But before we go with its characteristics, functional features and benefits first let’s get a brief introduction to it.

What are cat5 cables?


It is a network cable made up of four twisted pairs of copper wires. Generally, it is terminated by RJ-45 connector and is commonly known as LAN cable. Also referred to as Ethernet cable it can be used barely up to the maximum length of 100m only after which it requires some sort of connector or network device for proper functioning. The common application of this cable can be found in structuring the cabling of computer networks and in carrying the signals of telephony and videos.

What are the cat6 cables?


Also referred to as Category 6 cable, this is also a standardized twisted pair of copper cable used in ethernet. Unlike cat5, cat5e and cat3 cable, these cables have total backward compatibility with its all previous versions. Generally used to set up cabling infrastructure gigabit(Gb) Ethernet-based computer networks, cat6 is actually the 6th generation of twisted cabling wires. Although it supports 10 Gigabit ethernet connections but it can be used maximum to a length of 328 feet only. After this, it requires connectors or needs the aid of a bridge to perform efficiently.





Because cat6 cables are the next generation of cat5 cables thus they definitely have to be more durable and reliable. But besides this, there are many more other factors too which differentiate both of these categories. For instance:

  •  Cat6 cables have a high speed of data transfer as compared to Cat5 cables.
  •  Because Cat6 cables have improved shielding and better-twisted pair design thus they have reduced the impact of crosstalk.
  • Even the speed of Cat6 cables are better than that of Cat5 cables.
  • Cat6 cables also have a higher signal-to-noise ratio
  • Although Cat6 cables are priced slightly higher than the Cat5 cables but then it's worth it because of their better connection speeds and overall performance.
While comparing the technical specifications of these two, obviously Cat6 is better than the Cat5 cables but as it is always said everything has its own importance. And one size cannot fit all. Even today, for all kind of residential networking purpose Cat5 cables, are preferred more. But being a commercial user who has a high need of transferring big data files quickly, has a lot of video/audio editing to do, need to work on the processing of networked machines then Cat6 cables are important to choose. 

So, what you choose depends only on what you want to avail.

What are Panasonic Telephone systems and its benefits?



Networking cables are actually the physical wires which are used to connect one network device with another. It could be used to connect and transfer the data and information between the computers, routers, storage area networks, and switches. Nowadays there are many professional providers of network cabling services in NYC which help in doing network cabling for both residential as well as commercial purposes. But before you choose any one of them it is very important to know about the popular choices.

·  Twisted pair cables

As the name itself speaks these wires generally have two copper wires twisted together to form a single cable line. Generally, it is of two types; namely STP and UTP.

o   STP
Shielded twisted pairs are the ones that have a shielding covering.
o   UTP
Unlike STP, they are not shielded thus are known as unshielded twisted pair.

  •  Coaxial cable

Generally used for transmission of radiofrequency energy, coaxial cables are two copper conductor cables insulated by in between a tubular insulating material. Most commonly they are used by TV companies to connect the TV with their respective antennas. The best feature of coax cables is that they can carry both analogs as well as digital signals but one at a time.

  •  Multi-pair cable

As the name itself explains multi-pair cables are a group of many insulated conductor wires which are twisted into pairs before they are cabled together in the single multi-conductor cable. Apart from being used in various electronic appliances, the multi-pair cables are used in various industrial equipment controls, telecommunication systems, etc.

  • USB cables

Known as a universal serial bus, USB cables are one of the most commonly used network cables in computers. Apart from carrying signals, they can even carry power unit. Isn’t it amazing? Because they are fast thus they can be easily attached to other peripheral devices like camera, scanner, printer, camcorder, etc to transmit data and other information.

  • Fiber optic cables

Made from the stands of glass fibers these cables are best used for long-distance network telecommunications. Functioning as “light guide”, fiber optic cables actually use light pulse to transmit data and other information. With high bandwidth, they are best known to transmit large data over long distances.

Before you choose any cable it is very necessary to know about them. You can get more information on these cables by searching on the net. So, make sure to study them in deep before you opt for any one of these.
