A Voice System - Frequently Asked Questions

VoIP Technology

Q. What is VoIP?
VoIP stands for Voice over Internet Protocol, and is a technology that permits delivery of Voice Communications through wiring enabled for data.
Q. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using VoIP for business?
VoIP's chief advantage for business is that it allows the business to realize cost savings by leveraging the same network circuit for voice and data services. The primary disadvantage of VoIP is that circuit outages, if they occur, will impact both data and voice service. A Voice System works with our partners to put in place cost-effective back-up systems that minimize the likelihood of an outage.
Q. What kind of Quality of Service can I expect with VoIP?
"Quality of Service" implies a business-grade level of service where measures are taken to ensure that Voice Calls take precedence over Data delivery, thereby minimizing the potential impact of circuit overloads to your daily operations. A Voice System leverages Best Practices for Quality of Service and will work with you to ensure that your business maintains service levels after migrating to a new phone system.
Q. Does VoIP support fax machines?
Fax services will function as normal after transitioning your business to VoIP. Fax enhancements are availabe to integrate email systems with fax services.
Q. Will I need new phones to cut over to the VoIP system?
In some cases new handsets will be required to transition to a VoIP system.
Q. What kind of reporting can I expect to get on phonecalls?
Reporting will be provided to show inbound and outbound telephone usage per extension. Customized reporting may also be available.
