Summer Power Outages

It's summer in Central Florida, which means that with the thunderstorms, we have power outages. Although the power outages don't cause the same problems as lightning, they can still cause problems for older phone systems.

Power outages can cause problems with older phone systems because when the power goes out, older phone systems can lose their programming. This is because the on-board battery, which keeps the phone system programming safe, over time,will start to fail.

The battery failure is not normally detected until the power goes. The good news is that although the system will need reprogramming, there is normally no permanent damage to the system and the on-board battery can be replaced.

If you have an older phone system and have questions, call ATS Phones 321-207-0084, for assistance and advice. We keep you connected to your customers.

Just lately, it seem that every conversation is about oil, gas and rising prices. The one sure thing is; the more we talk about them, the faster they climb, or it seems that way.

Rising costs have a significant impact on Travel, which affects businesses in many ways. It's costing more to visit customers and customers are more reluctant to visit you, and, if you run a delivery or service company, the pain is even greater. This has prompted business, especially small business, to rethink how they do business.

When these issues have risen in the past, the promise of technology to over come them, never really met expectations. Today, that may have changed. Most people carry more technology on their person than what took man to the moon. The technology can tell us where we have been, where we are going, and talk or communicate with everyone and anyone instantly, any where in the world.

Summer Lightning

With this weeks weather, hot steamy days and late afternoon thunderstorms, it seems summer has arrived in Central Florida. It's that time of year when we get busy. Not just a heavy work load, the majority of calls are emergencies, due to lightning taking out the phone system. The lightning doesn't even need to be that close, a lightning strike over three miles away can still cause damage if the system is not adequately protected.

There are three things you should have to make sure you have the highest level of protections for your phone system. First, make sure you use a surge protector with battery backup (UPS); secondly, make sure the UPS and the phone system is well grounded; and thirdly, adding surge protection fuses on the incoming telephone lines adds an extra line of defense.

VoIP installation and service

Would you want a Butcher to do a Bakers' job? When it comes to IT networks and PC's, the IT guys are the best. If you enjoy messing around with networks and PC's then great, but if you need it to work and stay working, call the IT guys. That said, why do the IT guys try to install phone systems?

Yes, the IP in VoIP is a network protocol and, yes, the IT guys need to know and have a say in what runs and how it runs over the network, but the phone system is still very much the domain of the telephone guy.

In the last few years I've taken out more VoIP system, that were installed by IT guys, than I've installed myself. There was nothing wrong with the systems, in fact, they had considerable more functionality than the digital systems we replaced them with. It comes down to customer expectations and experience.

With VoIP, the expectation seems to be cost savings, although it is not the only expectation. The customer will expect the system to do all the things their old system did and more. Telecom experience will be needed to ensure expectations are met.
