In an effort to reduce telecom bills, the British Airways (BA), the largest airline of UK whose main hubs are London Heathrow and London Gatwick has reached out an agreement with California-based Cisco Systems to develop an advanced telephone system based on VoIP technology.

The telephone system will support BAs 14,000 office and airport workers, reports Computer World.

As per the agreement, Cisco System would provide nearly 8,500 IP phones along with the CallManager call-processing software and MeetingPlace conferencing software over an Ethernet network built by Cisco. BA will use them by March next year.

Cisco hopes the deal with BA will boost its IP phones selling in the market, but did not disclose the value of the deal. It is believed that the value of the deal is a multimillion pound.
