Current System Configuration

  • Two offices connected via a high-speed wireless connection for data applications
  • A local ISP is able to provide a 10MB fiber Internet connection

Challenges

  • Due to their antiquated phone systems at each location, they must maintain each system separately as well as provide dial tone services to each
  • This company is located in a rural area; they don’t have access to T1 technology
  • Therefore, they must bring in their dial tone services via analog POTS lines
  • They wish to consolidate their offices under one single-image telephone system by leveraging their point-to-point wireless connection
  • They would also like to increase staff efficiencies by giving them tools to work from home
  • They require a solution that saves them money on a monthly basis as they’ve had to reduce their staff and cut costs considerably

Solutions

  • Install IP phone system at main office
  • Deploy IP phones to both offices
  • Deploy IP phones to home offices equipped with broadband Internet service
  • Provision (11) SIP trunks terminated via 10MB fiber Internet connection
  • Keep (2) analog POTS lines for backup
