ISDN has been one of the staples of communications for Australian businesses, but it’s reaching its end-date.

As part of the NBN roll-out and ongoing decommissioning of Australia’s legacy networks, the ‘Telstra Business Voice ISDN’ carriage products will progressively be switched off between August 2019 and December 2022.

ISDN must be replaced with modern VoIP-based technology to keep business phone lines and systems working.

The questions is: what comes next?

Which alternative is right for my business?

With the fast approaching retirement of ISDN, you can replace your phone systems with one of two options:

1. Hosted PBX – Replace ISDN and all of your dedicated phonesystem/PBX hardware with a Hosted PBX, which provides you with:

• Voice calls in & out (along with call routing features)

• Interactive voice recording (for example: press 1 for ‘sales’,2 for ‘support’ etc.)

• Voicemail (on a subscription model)

• Modern handset and mobile app

2 . On-Premise/SIP Trunking - You can replace your ISDN lines with SIP Trunks over a data network connection and upgrade/replace your dedicated phone system/PBX, along with your handsets, to be compatible.

ISDN END OF LIFE IS HOSTED PBX OR SIP TRUNKING THE RIGHT SOLUTION?

Hosted PBX Business locations that do not require advanced contact centre functionality are best placed to move to a fully hosted PBX/Phone System solution. With Hosted PBX residing securely in our cloud, it removes the need for you to manage and operate your PBX hardware systems and multiple SIP trunks on your premises.

On-Premise/SIP Trunking Business locations that have very specific, highly-advanced contact centre functions (such as voice recognition AI), bespoke internal software application integrations etc. are better suited for an On-Premise PBX/UC solution with SIP trunks.

OUR HOSTED PBX SOLUTIONSDelivered across the internet or our private IP network, our Hosted Private Branch Exchange (PBX) cloud-based unified communications (UC) solution eliminates the need for physical phone systems and voice carriage connection spread across your premises. Your phone system is hosted in our highly available and secure cloud platform with handsets or softphone app connecting over our private wide-area network or internet connection.

The solution provides enterprise-grade UC features, such as reception consoles, IVR, voice and video soft clients, instant messaging and presence, all at one low predictable monthly spend. To compliment your implementation, we can also deliver a cloud-based contact centre system for agent call queue monitoring, call statistics reporting, call recording and more. High-quality handsets are supplied, which simply plug into the local area data network and connect securely back to the Hosted PBX in our cloud.

Brennan IT can deliver an integrated, advanced phone system experience or a simple monthly fee with no large capital outlay and separate support services contracts.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

SIMPLIFIED MANAGEMENT

Whether you’re setting up, changing vendors or integrating cloud

applications, a hosted PBX provides flexibility to change or set up in

a matter of days.

SAVE COSTS & INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

A hosted PBX eliminates IT costs for the upkeep and administration of a

PBX. Close internal skill gaps and free your IT team to focus on more

strategic IT projects by outsourcing.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT

Our soft clients, web portal, receptionist console and call centre

console can be accessed directly over the internet. This means your business

is always on wherever you are.

GROWTH & SCALABILITY

With a traditional PBX system you need to buy more than you need to anticipate future growth, but a Hosted PBX is scalable, allowing you to grow one user at a time.

OWNERSHIP AND CONTROL

The phone system is owned by you, allowing for bespoke customisation

and independant upgrades.

Brennan IT has a long history of deploying, upgrading and supporting dedicated PBX platforms, voice lines and contact centre software for Australian customers. We can deploy or refresh a PBX either at your head office site or host centrally in our secure datacentres. We are skilled in UC platforms manufactured by world leading vendors NEC and Cisco.

Voice carriage capacity to our on-premise dedicated phone system can be fully supplied by Brennan IT and include SIP trunking and ISDN (being phased out by 2022).

SIP is delivered over data connections that are used for internet and wide-area-network (WAN) connections – which you’ve more than likely already got. By merging voice as another application on these data connections, the existing ISDN lines are no longer needed. SIP Trunk ‘lines’ are dynamically created and removed as required on the data network and we use ‘Quality of Service’ wherever possible to help ensure perfect voice quality. We can design SIP trunks and UC platform in highly available (HA) deployment in two diverse locations with automatic failover. HOME PREMISE 1
