NEW YORK, NEW YORK, U.S.A., 1990 JAN 30 (NB) -- Northern
unveiled the Meridian 1 business communication systems product
line, a set of phone switches, private branch exchanges, phones,
modems, and data communications gear it says has double the
capacity of any other system available in the United States.
The Meridian 1 is compatible with communications standards for
more than 70 countries, and can display operating instructions on
a visual panel in six languages -- English, Spanish, German,
Dutch, along with two versions of French, one for France and one
for Canada.
Meridian 1 uses stackable modules than can be updated easily for
applications ranging from 30 to 60,000 lines. Existing Meridian
SL-1 and Meridian SL-100/SuperNode systems can be updated with
the latest features.
British Telecom will distribute the system in the United
Kingdom.
