Alcatel Lucent Contact Center Interactive Voice Response analógico

For contact centers that still rely on analog lines but demand modern self-service, the Alcatel-Lucent Contact Center Interactive Voice Response Analog System bridges legacy telephony with intelligent automation. Unlike software-only IVR that assumes a full VoIP migration, this solution works directly with POTS (FXO/FXS) connections while remaining ready for SIP or ISDN when you are. It turns routine calls into self-service sessions, offloading agents and giving customers fast answers around the clock.

Highlights

• Analog-native IVR with FXO/FXS support for existing POTS infrastructure
• Optional digital connectivity via SIP or ISDN PRI/BRI for future growth
• Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Text-to-Speech (TTS) for natural interactions
• Graphical flow designer for rapid deployment of call flows without deep coding
• Detailed reporting on self-service usage and call outcomes
• High availability options including N+1 and active-standby redundancy

In daily use

Deploy the system as an on-premise appliance or virtualized software, then configure analog ports from 8 to 24 channels (expandable) to match call volume. Customers dial in, authenticate via DTMF or voice, and complete tasks such as balance inquiries, appointment scheduling, or payment processing. The IVR integrates with your CRM and Alcatel-Lucent OmniPCX Enterprise, so caller data flows into agent screens when escalation is needed. Multi-language ASR/TTS ensures consistent service across regions, while G.711 and G.729 codecs maintain voice quality even on constrained networks.
