To stay with your trusty TDM based PBX phone system or toss everything out in favor of a IP-Telephony phone system?
Why to miss services which would increase the value of the productivity?
Substitute it all for a brand new IP-Telephony phone system and take all the benefits this new technology offers.
What shall I do?
You have several choices:
- analog,
- digital, or
- IP phones
each desk and if to go with TDM or VoIP services to be linked with the external world. Some systems will even allow you to mix and match.
Which one to choose?
TDM?
VoIP?
or Both?
Why not?
Most any phone system that handles a few phone handsets will give you an option on how to connect phones to the PSTN or Public Switched Telephone Network.
A pure IP-Telephony phone system entirely operates in the IP world from handset to call termination. The PBX equivalent is the Internet Protocol PBX. The Internet Protocol PBX is generally a software running on a Linux system. Handsets are referred to as SIP phones.
SIP or Session Initiation Protocol is the switching protocol that controls the phone calls on packet based networks. Calls between subscribers to the same IP-Telephony service provider never leave the network and never enter the PSTN or Public Switched Telephone Network. Calls from and to non-subscribers are terminated to the PSTN at the provider's location.
Usually you can mix and match purely VoIP phone systems, purely analog phone systems, purely digital and TDM phone systems. A IP-Telephony system may well have FXS ports to connect to analog handsets, as do traditional PBX phone systems. The service connection can be T1, analog, ISDN, or SIP Trunking.
Most of the time, the newer IP PBX phone systems can offer a wider range of handset and phone service connection options than traditional PBX systems. Before you make any big purchases or plans to scrap you current phone system, you may ask a skilled expert or look for related information in one of the many Voip Review Sites you'll find on the Internet.
