Network Infrastructure to Support VOIP from PBX to Handset

Our recommended solution design always features a robust business class network smart / managed “switch” (normally a market leading Cisco SMB switch which can virtually separate the VOICE network traffic from the DATA traffic between the PBX and the IP Handsets that give priority to VOICE traffic (QoS = Quality of Service)), provide “Power over Ethernet”, security, and other QoS features that prioritize delay-sensitive services such as voice and video, simplify unified communications deployments, and help ensure consistent network performance for all services over 1 wire to the desktop.

We supply IP phones (“in house” VOIP – desktop to PBX) that suit your budget and desired quality and features such as gigabit pass-through, omni-coverage with autofocusing microphones for boardrooms, or are wireless.

We typically supply proven models from vendors like Positron, Yealink, Polycom, Cisco (authorized partner), Jabra (authorized reseller), & Fanvil as well as paging solutions (analogue or IP) from leading providers such as Bogen & Cyberdata.

SIP Trunking Solutions (VOIP for "telephone lines over the internet")

With IP ready PBX’s like the PBX’s listed above, your business can now take advantage of SIP Trunking solutions.

SIP Trunking is an innovative IP voice solution which provides businesses like yours with customized next generation voice services. By replacing/augmenting your costly PRIs and traditional analog lines, SIP Trunking simplifies your company’s telephony infrastructure and saves you money!

Manage the same call capacity with fewer lines (or “channels”)
Enjoy Capacity On Demand: accommodate any call volume by only paying for what you need, when you need it
Create a local presence and eliminate long distance charges by selecting local phone numbers in over 1000 cities across Canada

In all cases, our recommended solution includes either a dedicated circuit for VOICE traffic (typically our Internet Service) or a Cisco Meraki router in which we give priority to SIP trunking heading out to the internet, as well as “reserve”/dedicate a portion of your total available bandwidth to the SIP trunks. All Meraki routers also feature backup connectivity (either USB, or USB+WAN2). We offer fail-over 4G backup only internet solutions as well as full time redundant connections and load balancing.

We offer business quality solutions from 2 vendors for whom we are representatives.

100% Hosted IP PBX Solution

Some businesses don’t wish to invest in or maintain a local hardware PBX.

Where there is sufficient internet bandwidth available, this pay as you go / hosted PBX as a service may be the perfect solution for your business.

We are authorized dealers for a SW Ontario Hosted PBX Provider that offers top quality service, and has redundant data centers, all located in our region, so latency will be low and calls won’t be being routed through “for example” California call centers like some other Hosted PBX providers do.

You will need (and we will design / advise / supply as necessary):

A sufficient internet connection at each location or for each device that will use the Hosted PBX (depends on number of extensions per site).
A router such as our Cisco Meraki offering to do traffic shaping (& fail-over/redundant capable) to maintain quality of service for VOIP (typically provided on monthly payments as well).
Sufficient internal Network Infrastructure (switch(es)) to Support VOIP from PBX to Handset (typically also included with the router purchase/monthly payments)

You pay a monthly extension fee (which always includes “access” – i.e. each extension user can be on a call at the same time), only per minute usage fees apply on top of this (no inclusive flat fee per trunk offering with Hosted PBX).

Option 1 (Standard): “Bring”/Own your own extension (these could be IP phones you already own, or new ones you acquire from us as part of implementation). – $20 per month

Option 2 (Bundled): A basic IP extension / phone is included in the monthly fee (several options available). – $25 per month

+ preferred usage (per minute): Inbound calls: 1.2c, Outbound Canada Tier 1: 1.5c, Outbound Canada Tier 2 and US 2c.

+ Options:

Extra telephone #’s (DID) (existing or new). $5 per month
Toll Free # (‘s) $8/ month + usage at 2.9c/minute.
Extra voice mailboxes (guest), no telephone handset associated with it, voicemail to email included: $10 / month.
Emergency Failover 4G Internet (Rogers) Backup (Meraki Router Compatible) (device normally purchased or financed with router or rent $15/mo), pay if used only at $10/GB
If an additional number or different number is to be displayed as caller ID for outbound calls, an additional standard SIP trunk must be ordered to accommodate that
