BandTelecom, VOIP business telephone systems using Grandstream GXP-2000

Band Telecom use broadband communications to provide a fully featured low cost telephone service, designed to meet the needs of business users and professional services providers.

Whereas traditional telephone systems typically require local equipment with attendant installation and associated annual line rental and maintenance costs, Band Telecom use the latest VOIP technology to enable specially designed telephones to be connected to the same local area networks as are used for computer internet access. Via broadband, the telephones are connected to secure telephony servers in a secure Canary Wharf facility in London Docklands.

In addition to removing the need and associated overhead of local telephone equipment cabinets, the granularity of remote telephony server architecture enables a telephone system to be expanded, by the simple addition of telephone terminals, as and when required at less than £150 each, inclusive of set up and first year warranty. Band Telecom VOIP services are ideally suited to both single office and also distributed organisations, including those with employees working from home. With free inter-company calls and most local, national and international calls being charged at 1.2p per minute, telephone costs can significantly be reduced. Transferring calls to either a local extension in the same location or a remote extension hundreds of miles away, is both seamless and transparent to the user, with multi-way secure conference calls being easy to set up.

The system provides direct dialling from Microsoft Outlook and other PC contact management software. Voicemail is a standard system feature with messages being accessed by telephone or transmitted as an audio file to a designated email address, anywhere in the world. Incoming calls can be configured to ring in a pre-determined sequence in different locations until a call is either answered or diverted to voicemail. Fully itemised billing is also a standard call management feature, which enables call traffic to and from individual numbers to be monitored and accounted for. Optional voice recording can also be enabled as required for security and training purposes.
