Today’s businesses, from the biggest ones down to smaller enterprises, need some form of telephone systems. As part of the modern complex communications systems, phones are integral to selling, the lifeblood of any business. This is true to every business all over the world’s big urban centers, including Melbourne.
Up until recent times, the Internet was predicted to take over all forms of communications. However, it had been an undeniable fact, a discovery, that the telephone cannot be replaced as of the moment given its value in immediacy, intimacy and warmth in a person-to-person communication, be it in a business deal or a personal conversation. Basics In technical language, the telephone and the whole system of telephony is defined as a system of telecommunications where the phone is used in transmitting speech and other sounds between two points (either sending or receiving) with or without the use of wires and cables These days, the non-use of wires mostly refers to the modern technology where transmission and receiving of messages (voice, video, fax, and data) are connected with computers and their hardware and network systems. They have also been doing the traditional functions of phones, aside from their own line of functions in relations to so many things (commerce and trade, medicine, education, and many others.) With the advent of the digital age and the computers, the differences between the telephone and telecommunications have been seen to overlap and are difficult to distinguish. Some telephone terms Traditionally, telephone systems Melbourne are structures that comprise telephone equipments and devices with the traditional job of communicating one another, either on a personal level or as part of a business transaction. Given that the system is here to stay for some time yet, some basic terms need to be refreshed. POTS is Plain Old Telephone Service and usually refers to the older standard low speed and limited bandwidth analog service. This system had been servicing hundreds of years for most of households and business groups. PSTN is the Public Switched Telephone Network which is used all over the world. The old analog trunks and other parts of the systems are now already replaced entirely with digital technology which includes today’s cell phones. It is the main systems that interfaces with POTS. PBX/PABX is the acronym for Private Branch Automatic eXchange which is also known as a phone switch. The main function of the switch is to route and interface with multiple internal phone extensions to the PSTN. Usually, this happens in an office whose phone line is still in analog. Intro to VoIP With a VoIP phone system, the big advantage is the easy installation. All it needs is a special phone adapter which is plugged into power and the Internet router. (Some have SIP phones that can bypass adapters.) With its use that depended through Internet connection, VoIP can integrate some applications that once were done with computers. The system also has features in both landlines and mobiles (caller ID, visual voicemail, 3-way calling, and others). The telephone systems of big metropolitan centers today like Melbourne are already at par with the best systems anywhere in the world today.
