Voice Compatible Cell Phone is Must to Have

VOIP conversations require typically between 16k-64k depending upon compression levels, so the data wiring infrastructure of a typical office running CAT5e cabling can share the same 100M cabling for both voice and data. Voice is prioritized over data to protect call quality, and dozens of phone calls could be made simultaneously without noticeably affecting data speeds. Using a shared wire infrastructure saves on wiring installation costs as well as wiring maintenance costs.

Although many manufacturers will argue that they can now perform this functionality via TDM technology and web interfaces, it was VOIP systems that brought this ability to the forefront with industry changing ease. For any company that knows their phone system technicians on a first name basis, the ability to administer your own system will dramatically alter your total cost of ownership. Reduction in MAC charges have made the VOIP systems highly desirable simply because they cost less to maintain. System administration is now something that can be internally for over 95% of programming changes.

The ability to have a single receptionist to handle calls for multiple locations can often pay for a system within a year. Allowing employees who were previously tied up with answering calls to move to income generating activities can prove to be a financial coup depending on company size and configuration.
