The NEC–Philips Internet Protocol Server – also known as the Sopho IPS and 2000IPS business telephone system, has it’s roots back to 1983 and was re-developed as an true VoIP system in 1998. It is one of the few business telephone systems that can boast backwards compatibility so far in that if you had bought a system back in 1983, the handsets and most of the cards could still be used today.

With a capacity of up to 24,000 extensions, and with over 250,000 installed systems worldwide, NEC have the largest installed number of telephone extensions in the world at over 64,000,000 globally.

New England Telephone Company (Netco) were NEC’s very first UK dealer for the NEC Internet Protocol Server (IPS) Telecommunications platform back in 1999. Since then, we have installed NEC and NEC-Philips IPS systems all over the world, from 10 to 1,500 extensions.

Netco are currently the largest UK dealer, maintainer and supplier of NEC–Philips IPS telephone systems, and have been business dealer of the year for the last 5 years.

Netco were the first to supply and install to a business, a Voice Over IP (VoIP) NEC 2000 IPS system in the UK, with a dozen IP phones running remotely over a broadband connection within the City Of London. From that small install, Netco have installed thousands of NEC endpoints, on hundreds of systems.
