A hosted PBX is an advanced fully featured business phone system.  The system is located in one of our high availability data centres, and the phones connect to the system over the internet.  The customer does not need to make the large investment to purchase and install their own on site system.  A separate maintenance contract is not required for any moves, adds and changes.   The hosted system is fully supported by our technicians. 

If you already have a VoIP phone system, we can probably reprogram your phones. 

If you already have an older analog PBX (eg Nortel Norstar, Mitel) , we are not able to use the existing phones which use incompatible obsolete technology.

In some cases, we are able to use regular analog phones through an ATA (analog terminal adaptor), but generally VoIP phones will open up the additional functionality of the system, and are relatively inexpensive.

In general,hosted PBX services will be cheaper than installing an onsite system using traditional analog copper lines from Bell or Telus. In addition, our hosted PBX services will usually have increased functionality and flexibility improving business productivity.

You will need a reliable high speed internet connection.  We recommend 100k of upload and download capacity for each simultaneous conversation, which leaves a safe margin of error.  In most cases, the upload speed on cable and DSL high speed internet is the limiting factor.

Most Cable /DSL internet services have a much higher download speed than upload, so it is usually the upload speed that is the limiting factor.  Older Cable/DSl services generally had an upload speed of 600-800kb/s.  This would support 6-8 conversations for voice based on the 100k rule if the internet connection was dedicated to voice calls.  In a business environment where the internet connection is shared betwen the VoIP traffic and general office internet use, we would reduce this by a factor of 2 resulting in   3-4 channels (simultaneous calls).

Many business internet connections now have 2-4mb upload speed or higher, which would typically support 20 channels of voice calls and business internet traffic.

Many of our customers come to use having had bad experiences with other VoIP solutions.  For high quality VoIP you will need a reliable internet connection, and dependable hosted PBX supplier.

Assuming that you have a decent internet connection  (see "What sort of Internet Connection do I Need?", our network is engineered so that calls  have comparable voice quality to analog lines from Bell or Telus.  

VoIP providers are mandated by the CRTC to offer 911 service.  VoIP technology offers 911 service which differs from the traditional 911 services on landlines.    Prodosec maintains your physical address in our system. 911 emergency calls are routed to a national call centre where callers are asked to confirm the physical address on file before being transferred to the closest emergency access point. This process will take more time than calling from a traditional landline where the location is already known.
