Still Running a Siemens HiPath System? Here Are Your Options.

Siemens HiPath 1120, 1130, 1150, 3000, 3550, 3800 and DX/Realitis systems have all reached end of support. Spares are scarce, patches have stopped, and every day you run one is a day closer to an outage you can’t fix.

There are two honest ways forward:

Option A — A lower-cost alternative (hosted VoIP or budget on-site PBX)

For most straightforward setups, this is where we start the conversation first. We offer two budget paths, depending on whether you want to keep
a physical switchboard on-site or move to the cloud entirely:

– Hosted/cloud VoIP — no on-site box at all, lowest maintenance
– Budget on-site PBX — a genuine local switchboard, just on far cheaper hardware than OpenScape

Both trade some advanced call-handling features for a much lower price tag. Best for straightforward setups with no call centre, no complex hunt groups, and typically under 30–50 users.

Option B — Upgrade within the Unify family (OpenScape)

The direct, like-for-like replacement for your HiPath system, sourced through established Unify supply channels. Same feature set you’re used
to, current hardware, full manufacturer support, and a straightforward migration since it’s built to replace HiPath specifically. Best if you want minimum disruption and full feature parity, and price isn’t the deciding factor.

Not sure which option fits your budget?
