What is a Voip Gateway and do you need one?
VoIP Gateways allow legacy PABXs, which are not IP compatible, to take advantage of the features and benefits of SIP Trunking, without replacing your phone system and handsets.The VoIP Gateway sites between your existing PABX and your router connecting you to the Internet and turns analogue calls into SIP packets ready to be transmitted across the Internet as VoIP.
Premised Based
Our Premise Based telephone systems are simply that. The Brains or hardware that controls all functionality resides on your premises. Many of you may have seen the big box hanging on the wall or sitting on the floor full of circuits boards.
Today these systems are typically much smaller being nothing more than a software driven network device. About the size of a small Firewall or Ethernet switch.
Hosted / Cloud Based
Our Hosted Telephone Systems are based in the “Cloud”, somewhere other than your premise. The “Cloud” refers to our local data center (secure with redundancy built-in).
Since the “brains” are located elsewhere, you never actually own the system. You pay a monthly fee to use the service being provided. In some cases you may buy or rent the actual telephones themselves.
Reliability of your new VoIP system depends on primarily three factors
- The Quality of your Local Area Network
- The Quality of your Internet Connection
- Proper Design and installation of your new system
How do I choose the right solution for my business?
- We start with a technology review and assessment of your goals and long-term objectives
- Discuss benefits of Hosted, Cloud and Premise based solutions
- Perform an internal and external network assessment to determine network readiness for VoIP implementation to ensure VoIP is technologically feasible for your business
- Prepare initial recommendations and budgetary numbers
- Perform system demo and review technology and network assessment findings
- Make changes as determined during previous meeting and prepare final proposal
- Present final proposal and determine next steps
