Telephone Lines
The telecommunications industry is changing
VOIP, IP, SIP, ISDN
VOIP, IP, SIP, ISDN, Cloud, Hosted Telephony and so on. So what do they mean?
We’ll keep it light-weight but if you want us to get in to the nitty-gritty we’d love to do so. Just ask!
In the mean time…
-
CLOUD = Computers Located Over Universal Datacentres (it’s not really - we just made it up but it does sum cloud computing quite well we think)
-
VOIP = Voice over Internet Protocol
-
IP = Internet Protocol
-
SIP = Session Initiated Protocol
-
ISDN = Integrated Services Digital Network
-
Hosted Telephony - Telephone systems hosted in data centres
-
Data Centre - Secure buildings with dedicated internet access enabling many large computers to provide various services to businesses, government and individuals.
Analogue
The analogue telephone line provides us with a range of uses from normal speech through to fax services, broadband and alarm monitoring services. You can add more lines (known as multi-lines) on to a telephone system when you need more than one telephone conversation outside of your office environment.
With the introduction of new technology people are unsure which line they may require. If you’re confused then let us help you, all we need to know is what your requirements are and we’ll advise you on which line is best for you.
There are used to be two types of telephone lines; analogue and digital (ISDN2e and ISDN30e).
But this is changing and rapidly. If you have these old lines then let Z1 Telecom explain the pending changes - contact us now.
