There’s another advantage of VoIP. Rather than being limited to fixed groups of numbers in your local area code, you can add as many numbers as you like. These can be in any dialing area, including overseas numbers and non-geographic numbers such as 0845.

You’ll normally have existing numbers that you want to keep. These can be “ported” to your VoIP lines and added to any new numbers you need. Once you’ve done this, you’ve broken free of the constraints of where your telephone lines are physically located. Calls to your numbers can connect anywhere with an internet connection. This makes moving office extremely easy, and is good for disaster recovery: in the event of fire or flood calls can be instantly routed to your disaster recovery site.

We think there are considerable advantages to VoIP over ISDN, and recommend you look into whether your business can benefit. If you need any help, please give us a call.

Public networks and fixed-line operators are steadily turning to VoIP to leverage the potential of Internet technology and businesses are able to converge their voice and data networks in a single structure. As well as the obvious cost efficiency implications, this also has significant impact in terms of the added functionality that IP telephony over data networks can provide.

Fixed line legacy telephone systems are closed, proprietary systems with limited intelligence. They can only enable one service (voice) and client devices (phones) are hardwired to the infrastructure. Making amendments, additions or other changes to the overall infrastructure, whether it’s new phones for new users or a change of numbers is often very difficult to achieve.

IP PBXs on the other hand are open systems (computer servers) that process telephony signals in the same way as data. IP PBXs and their client devices (IP phones, PCs or notebook PCs) connect to the network and calls can follow users around the network and other IP networks in the same way as email does. IP-based communication is essentially about building flexibility into all forms of communication, as well as unifying communications on a single platform that is pretty much future proofed.
