Siemens HiPath 1120 / 1130 / 1150 Replacement
**Status: End of Support since April 2017.**
If you’re running a HiPath 1120, 1130 or 1150, Siemens stopped issuing software updates and Unify has officially discontinued spare parts production. Existing stock is limited and refurbished boards are getting harder — and more expensive — to find.
What “end of life” actually means for you
– No firmware or security updates, ever again
– Replacement boards are refurbished stock only, with no guarantee on remaining lifespan
– If your system fails outright, you may be without phones for days while parts are sourced
– Your installer (if not us) may no longer be able to get support from Unify on your behalf
Two ways to replace it
For an office this size — typically 8 to 16 extensions — the budget option is usually the right fit. A full OpenScape upgrade is available too, for businesses where price isn’t the deciding factor.
Option A: Budget hosted VoIP (recommended for this size office)
If your setup is simple — a handful of lines, no call centre, no complex routing — a hosted VoIP PBX can do the job of your HiPath 1120/1150 for
meaningfully less, with no on-site switchboard to maintain at all. You give up some of the finer call-handling features, but for most offices
this size that trade-off is worth it.
Best if: your main goal is “make outbound and inbound calls work reliably” rather than replicating every feature the HiPath currently has.

Option B: OpenScape Business X3 (like-for-like, premium option)
The direct successor to the HiPath 1120/1150, sourced through established Unify supply channels. Full feature parity and familiar hardware, at a
higher price point — best if you want your team to notice as little change as possible and price isn’t the deciding factor.
What replaces it
The HiPath 1120, 1130 and 1150 have all been superseded by the Unify OpenScape Business X3— built for the same small-office footprint (up to 30 users) but on current hardware, with VoIP built in rather than bolted on.
HiPath 1120/1150 (EOL) | OpenScape Business X3 |
| Support status | End of life | Actively supported |
| Calling | ISDN/analogue only | ISDN + VoIP/SIP |
| Remote working | Not supported | Mobile & home-office extensions |
| Spares availability | Refurbished only | Current stock |
| Call features | CLIP, hold, transfer, conference | Same, plus mobile apps, presence, integration |
What migration actually involves either way
We’ve done this often enough that it’s a known process, not a guessing game:
1. Free audit of your current line count, extension count, and any add-ons (voicemail, call recording, door phones, pin-code tracking).
2. Fixed quote sized to your business — most small offices with 8–16 extensions migrate for less than the cost of one week of lost phone service.
3. After Hours cutover, typically completed in a single evening or weekend for offices this size.
4. Extension and feature carry-over — your team’s numbers, speed dials, and call routing move across; nobody has to relearn how the phones work.
Get both quotes
Tell us how many lines and extensions you have and roughly what you’d like to spend, and we’ll come back with the OpenScape price, the budget
VoIP price, and an honest recommendation — including telling you if the cheaper option isn’t a good fit for your call volume.
