The City of Johannesburg has commissioned Gijima, NEC System Integration Business Partner in South Africa, to provide - in partnership with Dimension Data - a completely new Unified Communications & Collaboration (UC&C) solution for its Metro Police offices in Martindale.

 

This significant project involves the delivery and installation of multiple NEC servers and NEC’s software-based UNIVERGE 3C UC&C solution supporting over 2,000 users. The solution includes soft media phones for 500 PC-based, Android or iOS users, state-of-the-art audio and video web conferencing and multiple PC-based Operator and Supervisor positions. NEC’s BX-series Gateways and Session Border Controllers complete the total solution.

 

Gijima was able to land this project due to its dedicated service and support to the City of Johannesburg for over 20 years and the company’s dedicated commitment to NEC’s wide range of IT & Communication solutions.
