Line Phone Systems

When you have an older office with older infrastructure and may have been using brands such as: Avaya, Lucent, Nortel, Panasonic, Toshiba, Norstar, Comdial and others it is likely those were using Line Telephone Circuits.

Line Systems Benefits 

• Extremely user-friendly when setup properly
• Has a “HOLD” Feature that can hand off calls to others in the office (not common today)
• Can call out using a different telephone number easily (not easy today)
• Can run on Traditional Phone Wiring (no wiring upgrades required)

 

Line Telephone Cons

• Can not easily have remote workers
• Can not easily have mobile Apps

Why would you want a Line Telephone System?

A line phone system is able to feel and work much like an older phone system you may already be comfortable with rather than a more modern system that will feel clunky and difficult.   If your office had a phone system installed prior to 2011 than it is likely being run on traditional phone wiring rather than modern data cabling.  Therefore, each wire run would need to be converted, adapted and likely replaced to handle today’s modern IP PHONES.  Line Phone Systems often have access to phone systems that will still run over these wires.

 

IP PBX Phone Systems

If you have a new office with modern and updated wiring but do not want to pay for your phone system forever you have a few choices.  You have a Cloud Hybrid System (with onsite HUB-SBC) or an IP PBX Processor unit.  These systems give you a lot of modern features but also many are friendly for remote workers and some even mobile apps.     These systems are one of the most commonly produced system today that is for on-premises and run IP Phones.

PROS

    • These phones can use Digital Voice Lines – Modern (Business VoIP) called SIP an HD Voice Call that is often lower in cost than traditional Lines.
    • You get modern features (based on the brand you select)
    • You get an affordable office phone systems ( often lower costs – providing you do not need to upgrade wiring)
  • NOT All brands support: Remote workers and Affective Mobile APPs 

 

Cons

• • • These phones require up-to-date modern wiring ( data cabling )
    • These phones work over your network and are subject to network issues
    • These phones should be setup by an expert rather than a Managed Service Provider (IT Guy) or DYI as to get more comfort and better call flow requires trained telecom professionals.  These phones have a myriad of settings and those settings make the system more or less user-friendly.
