NBC Olympics operates under a set of IT circumstances. Every two years the organization needs a complete, business communications network set up in a new location that will be in use for little more than a month.

"Demands for high-availability, resiliency and cutting edge technology are weighed against cost, since once the Games are over, the equipment goes into storage," Avaya said in a statement.

Avaya Communication Manager helps NBC Olympics close the distance on unified communications applications. The company is already enabling mobility by allowing calls made to an employee’s extension also ring their cellular phone, the statement added.
