NBN Compatible Telephones
NBN is the Australian National Broadband Network. It is an upgrade to the national communications infrastructure so that eventually, every house and business has the best in high-speed reliable internet connections across the country. It is made up of satellite, wireless and cabled technologies so that eventually the whole country has an integrated communications and internet system even in more rural and remote areas. What some people are concerned about is whether the equipment they currently use is NBN compatible or whether they are going to have to spend money on new equipment. That is where the help of a skilled telephone line technician can come in handy.
Analogue telephone systems and NBN compatibility
Often businesses especially, but even homeowners, have invested money into their current phone system. If those telephone systems are partially analogue based technologies then there is a concern that some may not work correctly when connected to a network that is completely digital. In most cases, this impacts business owners the most. When they have lead-in cable installation that connects them to the NBN will their expensive phone systems work? Having problems with the phones will affect a lot of business and negatively impact productivity and cost them money.
Unfortunately, this worry has led to some people preying on the worry of business owners to sell them completely new more modern phone systems, when it might not have been required. Some existing office phone systems will work fine with NBN. If you have a system for example that connects with PABX onsite, then this is a digital system and it will work when NBN comes your way. The problem is a lot of service providers do not have a lot of experience with older phone systems so just do not really know how they will work. They recommend investing in new equipment just because they are more certain about that.
Dedicated technicians offering expert advice
It makes sense to look for a committed and experienced telephone line technician so you can make sure your existing system can integrate with NBN. With the right company, you can find out for sure what phones are NBN compatible, whether your cordless DECT phones will work, and whether you need to invest money in a completely new system. With the right people, you can make sure the transition is smooth and comes with as little downtime as possible.
NBN needs digital connections
As well as requiring a lead in cable installation before you can connect to the new network you also need your communications system to be able to connect with the digital connections. An old analogue dial phone is not something that can connect to it. But it does not mean that you have no time to work something out. Even when NBN is up you have a grace period where the old ISDN and analogue lines are available and receive servicing, giving you time to switch or update if you need to.
