Premise Based VoIP Phone Systems
Office Telesystems offers premise based VoIP phone systems for Dallas Fort Worth and nationally. So what are premise based VoIP phone systems? Simply stated, premise based VoIP systems have your system server on site, rather than in the cloud. For many companies, a significant network equipment upgrade or additional network cabling is required to implement a cloud VoIP phone system. This can make a cloud VoIP phone system with VoIP phones cost-prohibitive for many businesses. With this, many companies opt for a premise based VoIP phone system, which can utilize analog, digital or VoIP phones. Examples of a premise based VoIP system are from NEC, Avaya, Mitel, Grandstream and other brands we support. Premise based VoIP phone systems are still very relevant in the business marketplace, representing as much as 50% of the phone system market today.
As stated, a premise based VoIP phone system is a system that can support analog, digital or VoIP technology that has the server on site, rather than the server in the cloud. A premise based phone system can also utilize devices such as conference phones, wireless options and fax machines or servers. It utilizes traditional phone services from your carrier, such as analog lines, PRI and SIP trunks, the latter a VoIP phone line. As mentioned previously, though much of today's technology marketing is geared toward cloud VoIP phone systems, a recent research study shows premise based VoIP systems still retain as much as 50% of all new and current system purchases today. Many premise based VoIP phone system implementations utilize a mix of digital and VoIP telephones at the main office and can utilize analog, PRI, or SIP (VoIP) trunks for phone lines. VoIP technology is optional and can be used where needed, such as a 2nd office utilizing the same system server with a VoIP link to the main office server, or one or more separate servers linking back to a main server via a VoIP link. This could save you from a substantial cost in re-cabling. Check out our Products page for all of the premise based VoIP phone systems we offer, such as NEC, Avaya, Grandstream and Mitel.
