Does Voice over IP Telephony Spell the End for Traditional Phone Systems?

Landlines are still available from most phone companies. However, Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is quickly supplanting traditional phone service as new accounts are set up. While traditional phone service isn't necessarily dying out, VoIP is an easier and better maintained service type.

Voice over Internet Protocol provides landline service by sending the phone signals through an internet connection. You can use a regular phone with the service by plugging the phone into a special adaptor. This is available for home use or for IP phone systems for small businesses.

The question really isn't about whether VoIP spells the end for traditional landline systems. It's about how long phone companies are willing to keep traditional phone service alive given its upkeep costs. 

The wiring that Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) uses has been deteriorating, and fixing or upgrading the wiring is costly. Because most phone companies now offer internet service along with phone service, it's more cost-effective for them to combine the two and use VoIP. So VoIP isn't necessarily pushing POTS out of the way -- it's more like VoIP presents an easier route for providers to use.

If you're interested in IP phone systems for small businesses, contact Affordable Telephone Systems for a consultation.

VoIP Phone Systems - Affordable Business Solutions

In business, it's important to keep your costs as low as possible and profits high. Fortunately, VoIP business telephone systems are designed to help you achieve both of these goals. Continue reading to learn more about how VoIP business telephone systems in Ventura are the most affordable solution for your business.

Long Distance Calls

If your business is like most businesses, you have to make regular long distance calls to suppliers and customers. If you are still using traditional phone lines, your long distance calls can quickly add up and become an expensive aspect to doing business. On the other hand, VoIP business telephone systems utilize the Internet for long distance or international communication, which costs a fraction of traditional long distance calls.

Reduce the Cost of Travel

If you regularly have to make visits to customer or supplier sites, the cost of traveling can be one of the most significant expenses of doing business. However, VoIP business telephone systems in Ventura offer video conferencing as the premier solution. Instead of having to travel to the site for an in-person visit, you can utilize video conferencing and accomplish the same goal without ever leaving the office. This same feature can be used to increase productivity by simplifying collaboration.

Increase Productivity

The old phone systems worked by assigning a phone number through a dedicated line. You had to be stationary in the office if you wanted to use the same number. However, VoIP phone systems offer number portability, which means the phone can use the same number from anywhere as long as it has the right connectivity. As a result, VoIP business telephone systems in Ventura are designed to move with you on the go and increase productivity.

For the best business telephone system in the Ventura area, call Affordable Telephone Systems. They will help you assess your needs and get you the right phone system at the right price.

Small Business Security Systems - Can you afford not to have one?

It's your small business and you've worked hard for it. Don't you think you should protect your livelihood and investment with a security system? In any case, every small business benefits from installing a security system. The following information explains a few of those benefits and why a security system for your small business is simply a necessity.

Keep Bad Guys Out

Small business security systems are designed to prevent unauthorized entry into your business. Burglars and nefarious individuals are always looking for ways to get their hands on your goods. However, small business security systems are designed to act as a deterrent to thieves and can be used as evidence in court.

While the Cat's Away…

Do you really know if your employees are stealing? Are they being honest with their reported time? While the cat's away, the mice will play; but small business security systems provide you with an eye on your business and employees at all times. A camera system can bolster customer service and increase productivity even when you are not physically there.

Deter Shoplifting

A small business security system can also deter shoplifting. By placing a spot monitor close to the door and a sign letting your customers know they are under surveillance, you will greatly reduce shoplifting in your business. The savings your business realizes from reduced theft can be used to reinvest in other areas of the business.

Get Insurance Savings

Several insurance companies offer reduced premiums for businesses with small business security systems. In most cases, these savings will eventually pay for the cost of the small business security system within a few years.
Since your business is your livelihood, it's important to protect your assets with small business security systems. In addition, it will offer you a greater peace of mind.

How Does Bandwidth Affect Your Voice Over IP Experience?

IP phone systems for small businesses have changed the way everyone communicates. These systems reduce costs, increase productivity, and offer several new and innovative features, such as video chat. Instead of having to run additional phone lines, IP phone systems for small businesses only require a high speed Internet connection. With all of the amazing benefits of IP phone systems, it's important you understand how bandwidth can affect your experience.  

What Is Bandwidth?

Bandwidth reflects the amount of data transferred over an Internet connection each second. Bandwidth is measured in bits per second, and the majority of connections have a scale of megabits per second. Before you choose one Internet provider over the other, it's important to make sure you understand its specified maximum bandwidth. If the quality of your phone calls over your IP phone system in Ventura is suffering, it could be the bandwidth or other factors that combine to limit the bandwidth for your phone.

Downstream and Upstream Bandwidth

Anytime your computer, phone, or other system accesses the Internet, information flows to and from the device. When data flows from the device, it's called upstream. When data flows to the device, it's called downstream. In most cases, more data is flowing to the device, which is why the majority of Internet providers prioritize downstream bandwidth. However, several VoIP calls, video chats, large data transfers, and remote access require much more upstream bandwidth. If your IP phone is suffering from low quality, you may want to increase your upstream bandwidth.
