A premise-based VoIP solution is one in which a customer makes an equipment investment with the intent to have their IT department operate and manage the telephone system. It’s a VoIP phone system that is located and maintained at a physical location (office or otherwise). The service provider merely provides the phone service to all of the devices.
A hosted VoIP phone system is one that is housed and maintained by a third party service provider that delivers PBX services over an Internet connection. The only physical hardware that you are responsible for maintaining are your desktop VoIP phones. In a hosted solution, you hand off control and responsibility to the VoIP service provider, and they manage the VoIP application at their facilities.
With so many VoIP providers to choose from, it may not may be easy to select the one that fits your needs. To select the right solution for you, we will assess your calling habits, your location, your budget, and the knowledge of your technical staff to ensure that you make the right choice for your business.
Basic VoIP
Unless you are working in a large enterprise environment, have multi-site concerns, or need an advanced setup, a basic VoIP implementation will suit your needs. What makes VoIP unique is the ability to make unlimited calls within the U.S. and Canada without paying anything other than a flat rate per month.
Anatomy of a Basic VoIP Phone System
Each component plays a critical role in the functionality and benefits you will receive from your VoIP system.
- Your LAN is at the center of your deployment. It acts as the connector and transport mechanism for your entire system.
- Your VoIP PBX is the quarterback. It manages your VoIP phones, call control, and connection to voice services
- Your Internet connection is utilized by your VoIP service provider. It sends and receives your VoIP calls. Your VoIP PBX has a special PCI card that allows you to also be connected to the PSTN for local calls and failover.
- VoIP phones are all that most will ever see of the system. They are the end points that give your users access to voice services.
