VOIP PBX

Just like an alternative solution of hosted, you need a consistent connection to the internet. There are monthly costs for your SIP TRUNKS, these are cheaper than ISDN and not for each user like hosted. This option means you have physically bought the system and it is onsite. Initially, the cost is more but if you look at the big picture, generally over 5 years, money will be saved depending on your situation.

What are SIP TRUNKS?

This is what we use to replace your ISDN lines. Basically, it’s what your phone system needs to allow multiple phone calls at the same time served by an internet connection. SIP TRUNKS can be added to an existing system if the system is up to date.

What do I need to consider?

As you own the telephone system you need to maintain it. You can pay for a maintenance contract with your supplier. You also should think about power back-ups and any updates it requires. Like most technology, there is a shelf life and one day your system will need to be replaced. Unlike hosted it’s the system itself that needs an internet connection not each handset. So traditional telephone cabling can be used which helps in older buildings with poor cable infrastructure.
