“We at Toshiba have listened to our customers and our valuable Authorized Toshiba Dealers in designing the new Toshiba IP 5000-series telephones. We have redesigned the new IP 5000-series telephones to be even more cost effective while retaining the same feature-rich capabilities,” said Eric Abing, product manager, Toshiba America Information Systems, Telecommunication Systems Division.

The new IP 5000-series telephone models have a similar look and feel to other Toshiba IP 5000-series telephones and are capable of performing all the same IP station features and functions. These new models are available at an affordable price for SMB and enterprise customers.
