Cordless Telephone Systems

Cordless Telephone Systems: The Freedom to Do Business

For many people, the idea of being able to walk around and do other tasks while you are on the phone and conducting business is something they can’t do without. Cordless telephone systems can offer the solution for companies who are not able to function without its employees being able to move around constantly.

Although cellphones offer the same idea, they can’t be connected to a telephone network system like the cordless phone and do not have the same business motivated features.

Cordless Telephone Systems are ideal for:

  • Factories
  • Retail stores
  • Airports
  • Hospitals
  • Large offices
  • Conference centres
  • Business and university campuses

Depending on the type of cordless telephone system your company chooses to install, it can offer the employees anything from 600 to 15 000 cordless extensions. This system can also be incorporated into a network for land lines.

In an office environment, an employee will use the network of low-power radio base stations to provide continuous coverage, both indoors and outdoors. These radio base stations are unobtrusive units that provide area coverage and capacity, and when an employee walks around while talking on the cordless phone, the call is handed from one base station to another without the employee even noticing it.

The number of base stations to be used depends on the size of the area that needs to be covered as well as the amount of traffic that should be handled by these base stations.

The coverage of the base stations used in cordless telephone systems will depend on the environment it is placed in. It can reach between 30 and 50 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors. Between the cordless phone and the base station, the best channel is automatically selected.

Thanks to modern advances and constant technological improvement, the talk time of cordless phones and especially those connected to professional telephone systems has been improved by several hours and when the phone is on standby it can last for several days – all of this on one battery charge.

For a manager on the factory floor that needs to monitor the progress of his line workers while keeping in contact with top management regarding the quantity and quality of the products manufactured, it makes complete sense to rather make use of a cordless telephone system instead of a traditional system. While he is moving around and ensuring the workers are productive, he can give real time feedback to the person on the other end of the phone while still being able to use his hands and move around. He is not forced to be at a desk where he won’t be able to keep an eye on the production line.

The cordless telephone systems allow for conference calls just like a traditional system and if you miss a call because you are not available or possibly on a conference call, the digital answering machine will help you out.
There are many reasons why cordless telephone systems are becoming more popular among business owners. Besides the fact that it can increase the overall efficiency of an organisation, it is an excellent and cheaper alternative to installing phone extensions in every office.
