PLESSEY PKS2 & GPT MASTERLINE

The Plessey PKS2 was an early keysystem-type phone system manufactured by Nitsuko Corporation and sold in the UK by Mercury Communications (known as the Mercury Trinity) and GPT/Plessey. BT also sold early PKS2 systems under the BT Merlin name. These systems were advanced keysystems with very powerful and easy-to-use functions, accessible via one-touch feature keys on the telephone handsets.

These systems proved very popular and many are still in use today due to thier efficient operation and reliability.

The Plessey PKS2 was superceeded by the GPT Masterline DXE phone system, which in turn was superceeded by the Nitsuko/NEC DXE system, first released in 1995.

Users of these telephone systems often discover that the transition to a new NEC SV8100 system is very easy, as the features they are used to using are still available, even with the latest state-of-the-art technology in use.
