Innovation is the key to survival and for centuries it has led to improvements in all aspects of our lives from achitecture to medicine and everything in between. In today’s high tech society, innovation moves at the speed of light and sparks competition among the most creative of individuals. Bill Gates was quoted as saying “Never before in history has innovation offered promise of so much to so many in so short a time”.
The attached video, produced by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in celebration of their 50th anniversary, documents the vast difference between past and present automobile safety standards by engaging a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu in a violent experimental car crash.

One of our Baltimore-based customers relies on their Avaya IP Office door phone to communicate effectively with visitors to their office. It is installed on the outside of their front door and allows guests to
call the front desk to announce themselves. If the office wishes to admit the visitor, they press a button and the door unlocks, allowing the visitor to enter the building.
This customer has had difficulty in the past with weather affecting the quality of communications between their office workers and visitors. The existing door phone was replaced with a more weather-resistant model and that worked well for a while, but occasionally the call clarity problems resurfaced.
One of our customers had an Avaya Partner ACS Release 3 processor with Avaya Mail VS R-5 (PN: 6108-544A) voicemail. The processor crashed and we replaced it with an ACS-R8 processor. Shortly after the replacement processor was installed, a new challenge arose. The auto attendant was unable to transfer a call to an extension that had the Do Not Disturb (DND) function activated. The call transfer could not be completed and the caller was stuck hearing a repetitive message that said the call was being transferred, but there was never a connection and the caller was unable to leave a message.
Last night, the Teltek team held its annual holiday party at Stables restaurant in Westminster, MD. Not only is Stables a great venue for a social gathering, but it is also a customer of Teltek’s! Back in November, we installed a NEC DSX phone system for the Carroll County restaurant. In celebration of a great year, employees and their guests dined and socialized together.
For the past few years, Teltek employees have contributed to Neighbors in Need, a program sponsored by the Human Services Programs of Carroll County in an effort to improve the quality of life of at-risk
and low-income local residents. We have a strong connection to Carroll County since our corporate office is headquartered there and are happy to help our neighbors have a more enjoyable holiday.
This year, Teltek donated 5 large bags of clothing, toiletries, household items, toys and gifts to the cause, which was able to help over 1300 families with the help of many generous donors.
