In the devastating wake of Hurricane Ian, many companies in Central Florida are taking a close look at their telecom infrastructure, especially their business phone system. Across the area, thousands of customers – both business and residential – are still experiencing phone issues weeks later.
You may have noticed an interesting dichotomy when it comes to how effective your local infrastructure is. Cell phone service was restored in most areas in a matter of days, but standard “landline” telephones are still down in many places as of this writing. This can become a serious problem.
While most adults now have a smartphone, plenty of Central Florida businesses continue to rely on a specialized business phone system for their day-to-day operations. Unfortunately, this equipment often uses outdated infrastructure. That includes old-fashioned copper wiring.
Florida’s unique geography has often contributed to difficulty when it’s time to upgrade and update its telecommunications. No telecom firm wants to be responsible for the expensive “last mile” cabling that links businesses and homes with the rest of the telephone network.
Although it costs the big telecom firms only a few cents a month to provide a service for which they charge hundreds of dollars, they are hesitant to invest in robust technology that could weather our annual storms better. The end result is a major disruption for companies like yours.
Future-Proof Your Business with the Univerge Blue Business Telephone System
At the same time, a new business telephone system has often been at the bottom of the list when it comes to potential investments. Business leaders may feel that there’s no distinctive reason to update their phone system, especially if they haven’t received any complaints about their current solution.
Now, the writing is on the wall.
If you want a business phone system that will stand up to the test of time – and the increasing odds of super-strong Category 4 and Category 5 hurricanes – it’s time to meet the Univerge Blue. It is a business phone system like no other, and it has the potential to change the game here in Central Florida.
