IP Telephony


Like those phones you see, and hear, on 24 and The Office? That ring is so recognizable. Cisco phones are being used at so many places now – schools, offices, colleges, department stores, hotels and more.

Cisco’s commitment to the technology has allowed us to partner with the industry’s leading vendor for IP Telephony and offer solutions that utilize and protect your Network investment.

Our approach to IP Telephony is to design, implement, and maintain a Telephony solution that will enhance your communications practices today and grow with you for tomorrow. We take full advantage of your current Network investment. Our experience lends to your success by recommending best practices for your Telephony implementation.

Telephony 101: IP Telephony differs from Voice over IP (VoIP). Voice over IP (VoIP) defines a way to carry voice calls over an IP Network including the digitization and packetization of the voice streams. IP Telephony utilizes the VoIP standards to create a Telephony system where higher level features such as advanced call routing, voicemail, contact centers, etc., can be utilized. IP Telephony has been around for several years now. It is a proven technology that, when implemented correctly, improves communications between administration, staff, students and community. IP Telephony can also integrate your surveillance, access control, bell, paging, wireless and internal/external IP communications.


Example: City School District

Overall, DataServ installed 1,200+ Voice Over IP phones in 24 locations, two call managers in separate locations, as well as a full Network upgrade for a district with 19 school buildings that spans 20 square miles. This included a layer three switch upgrade that connected 24 facilities via fiber. In addition, DataServ created IP Telephony eLearning tutorials to offer online as supplementary training after the in-person training was complete, given that this project provided a phone to every teacher. Benefits of this project include enhanced security, communications and ultimately cost savings for the district.
