Mitel and RingCentral Migration Enhancements

Mitel and RingCentral work closely together to make it even easier to migrate Mitel customers to RingCentral MVP, enabling seamless transfers of customer profiles and call flows and allowing customers to continue to use their existing Mitel phones. Beyond all of the beneficial updates provided, there are several enhancements to ensure the migration experience from Mitel to RingCentral is seamless and hassle-free for all Mitel customers.

IP400 Certification

Mitel's IP400 series devices completed certification with RingCentral MVP in December 2022, in addition to the Mitel 6800 and 6900 series devices that were already certified.

With the certification of the IP400 series, partners can benefit from an expanded list of mainstream desktop devices available on RingCentral MVP, making it even easier for UC customers considering UCaaS to move forward with RingCentral MVP as their communication provider.

The IP400 series device certification includes IP480, IP480g, and IP485g and is supported initially in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, with more country support coming in early 2023.

API-enabled Advanced Features for Mitel-certified Devices

The following features will be supported initially on the Mitel 6920, 6930, and 6940 phones, with expansion to other phones in future releases:

Unlike local call logs on the phone, server-based call logs utilize a RingCentral server-based logging feature that shares log data from all users’ clients and devices for a combined view of call activity.

Server-based Personal Contacts, as opposed to local contacts, utilize a RingCentral server-based feature enabling users to add/edit/delete/synchronize contacts across multiple devices and clients.

Server-based Do Not Disturb (DND) communicates the DND status to other clients and updates the presence status for use with the Monitored Extension feature. As a result, a user setting server-based DND will reflect busy presence status.

Visual voicemail gives users a graphical way to view and manage voicemails. Utilizing a server-based architecture, voicemails are stored and played from the server and capture all voicemails associated with all the users’ devices and clients.

Coming in Q1 2023

M695 expansion module support with the 6920, 6930, and 6940 models.

Custom Key Layout (CKL) enables users to program the top and bottom softkeys or enable the use of a predefined template to be applied to phones. Already supported on the 6800 and 6900 Series, we are introducing support for the CKL feature on IP480, IP480g, and IP485g.
