Telephone Systems - Business Backbone for a Country

The telephone systems Australia had come a long way since its first manual exchange in 1880 in Melbourne and the automatic version in 1912 in Victoria. Today, with its state-of-the-art technology provided for by the world’s top phone systems providers, Australia is in step with the world’s leading economies.

The telephone has always been a partner and a guide to a country’s progress in business by way of its strides in communications. With communications, business grows faster, with the resulting interchange in commerce and industry in any part of the world.

Without the discovery and use, plus the speed of communication afforded by the phone, today’s businesses might still be a horse-and-buggy operations and could be working only just as fast.

System basics

Known just barely vaguely by the general public, a phone system as we know it is simply a connection for communications between two parties. (Nowadays, there is such a thing as conferencing which involves more than two parties.) These connected people are usually business people or people with personal interest on the others as relatives or as friends.

The components that make up the whole system is very simple (or had been made simple through years of innovations and upgrades and developments) and can be simply explained as well.

Components

First, there is the base unit. This is the infrastructure that controls the whole phone system. Metaphorically, this might be referred to as the heart of the system. This is where you can determine the many features you may add to your system.

This is also the basis where you can determine the number of phones it can have and the number of lines that it can handle as well.

Handsets

The handsets are the actual units one uses in making and receiving calls. This is the most representative image of the phone. Before, black was the only available color (dependent on the materials used in making it).

Today, almost all kinds of colors are available. They also come now in a variety of sizes, styles, forms and capabilities. They also come in many tiers in pricing. They are sometime broken down as basic, mid-level, and high-end, as well as those used as receptionist sets and conference table units.

Wiring

This, actually, is the most important aspect in a phone system. If you plan to have your company grow in the future, you need to plan ahead even before installing your present system. They call this as “future-proofing” your system.

You may need to check on the places where you will install your extra lines or extra units in the future. With present planning, you will avoid unnecessary expenses in the installation of additional equipments, devices, wirings, and all that to accommodate your present (future) communications requirements. 

Installation is the most time-intensive part in setting up your phone system. For savings, you can have your provider make this a part of their service, including personnel training of your employees. As it is, your company shall be part of a burgeoning group of business enterprises, all of which are using the modern telephone systems Australia.
