PTI’s VoIP Telephone Systems
IP telephones (or IP endpoints) perform the analog-to-digital and/or digital-to-analog
conversions and can plug directly into the LAN or WAN. VoIP system vendors usually
offer a variety of IP telephones so you can choose different models based on various
segments in your user population. Your engineering department may need multi-line
handsets with easy conference call capabilities. A pumphouse needs a phone with fewer
bells and whistles but good, loud sound and a rugged exterior. Receptionists need
handsets with many more fixed feature buttons so that they can handle calls quickly
and accurately.
WiFi phones use signals much like those used by cordless telephones.The WiFi phone
receives signals which allow you to wirelessly connect to the network via wireless
access points (APs). Unlike traditional cell phones, the technology of WiFi phones
allows them to transmit data at really high speed, but areas of coverage are limited
by the reach of the AP being utilized.
