Say Farewell to Your Old Phone System

Nowadays the old phone system is actively replaced with new VoIP-enabled phone system marking the move into the next stage of mainstream enterprise telephony. Let`s have a look at the key points of this migration process.

Updating Legacy PBX

Not long ago the center of a business phone system was a large box room filled with mystery boxes and copper wires running PBX to deliver calls. It was very expensive to install this system, moreover telephones and long-distances services were expensive too. With the advent of VoIP phone system has become much cheaper, though copper-enabled phone system is still considered the most reliable method of transferring calls.

Companies which don`t want to get rid of a traditional PBX system, can install a VoIP gateway into legacy PBX for making cheap international calls over VoIP lines.

Cloud Computing Reshaping UCC Scene

Cloud also facilitates the move towards creating mobile environment in the company. We live in a society where professionals are eager to have possibility to work at any time no matter where they are, using any mobile device. Cloud based UCC solutions give them access to data from anywhere which adds functionality which is too difficult to ensure with traditional on-premises solutions. The employees can make local and easy international calls, share files and documents, communicate with their coworkers from anywhere.

Internet Packet and VoIP

Millions of Internet users around the world come across packets every day without even realizing it. You use them when you are reading this article, write an e-mail, make cheap international calls or Google for your favorite actors. The Internet is based on something called a packet. What should ordinary users know about it?

Data shipped over the Internet is divided into small parts (bytes, kilobytes, etc.). Parts of a file ranging between 1,000 – 1,500 bytes are called packets. They have footers and headers which contain information what the packet is about and hot to create a whole file.
