Make Sure You Get Well Trusted Business Telephone Systems

By Elaine Guthrie


To keep a business running whether it is a hospital, spa, animal clinic or warehouse one needs to have a means of communication. There are many business telephone systems in Vancouver, BC which range from the Pbx, Office, Voip, IP as well as Business and Small Business. The old telephone system is the landline and this is a private circuit that cannot be shared, mainly used in homes all around the world.

Voip or voice over Internet Protocol will need to have a broadband connection. The more employees there are the more bandwidth will be required. It is suggested that when using a router configure the quality of service settings as well as using the high traffic priority to guarantee best quality. This method will use 64kb of data every second when chatting but it is advisable to keep checking the data usage to avoid going over the chosen cap.

Some systems will need to have additional wiring added so as to carry the load and if so how much will they set the company back. Will the specific one that one is interested in have a battery backup and are all the phone jacks the correct size. Will this system be able to be upgraded in the future and how much will that cost, will the voice mail also be able to be upgraded if need be and is there a power fail auxiliary telephone. These are all very important questions that will need to be answered.

The Grandstream pbx is one of the world's leading brands and is very affordable. They come in options of either a cordless or fixed handset and can be used by the novice user to the advanced. The voice quality is exceptional and this system allows one to add new users when needed.

When considering which one would be best one needs to understand which system will ensure that the staff is able to be more efficient. Will one need a conference tool and when the phone rings will it ring at all stations or just one? Certain features that need to be kept in mind are paging and intercom, automated attendant as well as videoconferencing.

The KX-TDE200 is perfect for fifty to one hundred and fifty users and has about two hundred and fifty six extensions and one hundred and twenty eight CO lines. It can be used with ISDN as well as Digital and analogue for greatest flexibility. They are also able to be upgraded to the KX-TDE OneNet with no problem by just replacing the main processor card.

Toshiba is another that can offer digital telephone systems that will change with the business. The DP5130-FSDL is just right for the small up and coming company as it has two incoming lines with a duplex speakerphone. It has an easy to read screen as well as programmable buttons. The DP5132-SD has a LCD backlight and is capable of twenty different programs. This is one of the newer offerings and has a red and green light to indicate waiting calls. It has a speakerphone and can be mounted on the wall or tilted on a desk. It also has a feature of a four soft key menu prompt.

There are many systems out there that will work but a survey taken listed the following as the best. The most popular is the Cisco as it provides all the features needed as well as the basic and advanced paging system. Next is the ESI then Nextiva, Toshiba and the fifth most popular is the ShoreTel Sky.
