If your Southern California business empire includes locations that can operate with four total voice phone lines or less (this describes almost every small, customer-facing retail business on the planet) then there are new wireless business phone systems available that you should look at if you're in the market for a new phone system.
The best thing about these new business wireless phone systems is they operate just like regular phone systems with incoming phone lines in hunt or roll-over, have intercom, auto-attendant and voicemail but largely need almost no wiring. Because labor to install phone wiring can be very expensive, wireless business phone systems can save business owners a great deal of money.
Removing Voice From Your Data Network Solves Expensive Problems
A decade ago every business had two separate wired communications networks in their office that they had to pay to maintain; a phone wire network for voice communications and a data wire network for computer communications. Then someone (I can't remember who exactly) had the great idea of eliminating the cost of the phone wire network by connecting their office phone system over the data network.
That was a good idea in theory but it really didn't save small businesses much money and actually created expensive problems. The biggest problem created was poor voice phone call quality for small businesses that could not afford QoS ("quality of service") upgrades to their data networks to ensure that phone calls always got priority of data transmissions.
New DECT "Static Free" Wireless Technology Reinvents Cordless Business Phones
Most everyone that still has a landline in their home accesses that landline dial-tone with a cordless phone and understands the shortcomings that older cordless phone technology can bring to a phone call. Static, disconnects, interference with WiFi devices and "dead-zones" are just a few of the problems associated with the older 2.4 gHz, 900mHz and 5.8gHz.
Business phone system manufacturers seem to have selected DECT over other wireless spectrum technologies as evidenced by the AT&T SynJ® line built for small businesses and PolyCom's KIRK Wireless Solutions build for any sized business.
The DECT technology wins over older technologies due to increased range, call clarity and extended range when using DECT repeaters.
How Will Your Business Incorporate DECT Wireless Phones?
The technology is built to be a modularized solution that augments your existing PBX phone system or it can entirely replace it. If you have an existing business phone system that you'd like to get a couple more years out of contact your equipment provider to see what cordless phone option they have to offer.
