  • For numerous airport operations and companies including management offices, concessionaires, cargo and catering, plus retail food and consumer shops Avaya provides multi-tenant capabilities that uses the same physical infrastructure yet securely segments traffic.
  • A school system in one of the largest counties in the U.S with more than 115,000 users in 175 different locations and 300,000 BYOD devices created a Smart Campus with Avaya.
