Communications

IP telephony and video conferencing

We design and install the whole communications ecosystem: IP phone system, desk and cordless phones, mobile extensions, video meeting rooms and the network that keeps it all running without drop-outs.

What usually goes wrong

  • Calls that drop or sound bad

    It's almost always the network: no priority for voice, overloaded WiFi or a consumer router.

  • Customers who can't reach anyone

    Without queues, schedules or diversions, calls are lost whenever reception is busy.

  • Awkward video meetings

    A laptop on the table, echo, and nobody can hear the people at the far end of the room.

  • Everything separate

    An old phone system, personal mobiles and a video intercom that don't talk to each other.

The whole ecosystem

IP phone system

Cloud or on-site, with extensions, queues, schedules, voicemail and call recording if needed.

  • Welcome message and menu options
  • Ring groups and queues
  • Opening hours, holidays and diversions
  • Call statistics

IP and DECT phones

PoE-powered desk phones and DECT cordless handsets for moving around the premises or hotel.

Mobile and computer

Your office extension in a mobile app or on your computer: make and take calls on the company number from anywhere.

Video meeting rooms

Camera, microphones, speakers and screen sized to the room, compatible with the platforms you already use.

Video intercom and paging

Video intercom and PA announcements integrated with the phone system: open the door from your desk phone.

A network ready for voice

Voice VLAN, priority (QoS), PoE and UPS, so calls sound clear and keep working during a power cut.

Cloud or on-site phone system?

Both work well; the right choice depends on your size and how you work.

CustomisationWhatever the provider allowsFull, including open source options

We work with Grandstream (UCM phone systems, IP and DECT phones, video conferencing and intercoms) and with open source phone systems such as Asterisk or FreePBX, whichever fits best.

For hotels and restaurants

In a hotel, telephony is part of the service: phones in rooms, a front desk handling several calls at once, housekeeping and maintenance reachable on DECT handsets, and automatic wake-up calls or alerts. In a restaurant, bookings mustn't be lost because the dining room is full.

  • Room and front-desk phones
  • DECT for staff on the move
  • Queues and diversions at peak times
  • Integration with the management system, where compatible

How we do it

  1. 1

    Analysis

    Number of users, sites, call flow, meeting rooms and network condition.

  2. 2

    Design

    Phone system, handsets, numbering plan, menus and meeting rooms.

  3. 3

    Installation and migration

    Network, handsets and configuration; a planned switchover so no calls are lost.

  4. 4

    Training and support

    We train the team and adjust menus and hours as the business changes.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my phone numbers?

Usually yes. The phone system connects to your operator's lines and the numbers stay the same; we check your current service before planning the switch.

What if the power or internet goes down?

With a UPS on the network and critical equipment, phones keep working during the outage. If the internet drops, incoming calls can divert automatically to mobiles.

Does it work with Teams, Zoom or Google Meet?

Meeting rooms are equipped for the platforms you already use. We can also deploy an open source option such as Jitsi if you'd rather not depend on a provider.

Can calls be recorded?

Technically yes. If calls are recorded, callers must be informed and recordings handled in line with data protection law; we recommend checking with your adviser.
