What to do about VoIP
In many quarters there is confusion about what VoIP will mean for telephony and telephone systems. Further below is a more detailed description of options, but briefly :
- Telephone services will be carried over the Fiber Network as Voice over IP (VoIP).
- Many customers are being told by certain parties that the arrival of VoIP means their existing telephone system is unsuitable and must be replaced. This is incorrect ! (and that is putting it politely).
In the vast majority of cases systems using traditional lines can be upgraded or fitted with adaptors.
The option of system replacement is entirely the choice of the system owner and cannot be dictated.
If customer systems are currently using VoIP trunks they are ready for the VoIP right now. - Hybrex Systems CAN be used on the Fiber Network ! – recent systems are easily, or already, optioned for VoIP.
Older systems can be upgraded or adapted.
For more detail on the subject – see the below.
Let’s look at options for Hybrex Systems:
1. You have an old analogue Hybrex BX telephone system.
An option available is: if you have a larger number of handsets that are still usable then you can install a GDS system with one or more special cards to keep some of the old handsets, then buy new ones as desired/required. The GDS can be equipped with VoIP trunks, with or without Indial, and a good package for cost effective calls from the ITSP. The analogue system could also use what are called Analogue Telephone Adapters (ATA’s). These devices again are already in use by carriers such as Optus who provide standard trunks from a broadband connection.
2. You have a larger G1 or G1E system
(10 or more phones).
3. You have a G2 system
4. You have a GDS system
5. You have Basic Rate ISDN
6. You have a Primary Rate ISDN
7. You have VoIP trunks already
Some of the above may seem a little daunting but your Hybrex dealer or Hybrex Australia will be happy to explain your options with no obligation and put your mind at rest.
