VoIP products have so much potential! Our team continues to collect unique features of these products and help you take full advantage of them. Check out what we have to share this quarter:
Jabra continues to add to their PanaCast line and if you havenât checked out the PanaCast 50 yet, you are really missing out!
The PanaCast 50 offers 4 vibration-free speakers for crystal clear high-definition audio. Plus, it counts the number of people in your meeting rooms for you! Its intuitive software anonymously counts heads and instantly notifies you when your customized guidelines are breached. How cool is that?
Are you looking for a better way to monitor your speakers? Look no further! Check out Algo’s 8198 Satellite Speaker! This device automatically detects the connected satellite speakers and continuously monitors them. With this feature, you will be able to supervise the speakers for connectivity and operational assurance with fewer network drops!
Did you know that the Cisco 8800 Series is made with closed-loop plastic containing 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin? It is not only eco-friendly but also secure and compliant with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA and PCI. This is extremely important for all businesses!
The recording feature always comes in handy when you need to review your meeting or share out the whole presentation with your team. The Konftel 300IP conference phone not only allows you to record the meeting, but also store them right on an SD memory card. Reviewing and sharing your meetings are easier than ever!
What do you think about these features? Do you know about other cool features of VoIP products? We want to know!
Is VoIP worth it for a small business? The short answer is 100% Yes! In fact, VoIP makes the perfect communication solution for all-sized businesses, big or small. Letâs look at the reasons why VoIP phone systems make sense for your business:
You will be able to reduce the communication expenses by handling all your communication needs for offices, mobile and data services with one single provider. This not only saves you money, but also saves your precious time!
For a hosted VoIP service, your provider will manage and maintain the network, hardware and all for you. Let the experts do the job for you so you can focus on your core business!
By taking advantage of the VoIP features such as automated attendant/ customer service, voicemail to email, remote or virtual extensions, and more, you will be able to increase your work efficiency and productivity.

A VoIP phone system grows with your business! Whether you are dealing with a seasonal demand spike or adding a new branch office, a VoIP system can get you up and running quickly without having to invest in additional lines or hardware.
Thatâs not all! Learn more about how a VoIP Phone system works and other VoIP benefits here.
The key is to have a stable internet connection! Since VoIP relies 100% on your network bandwidth, if you don’t have sufficient bandwidth, your VoIP service wonât be good either. Depending on the number of concurrent calls your business requires, you may need to increase the bandwidth for a better communication experience.
Is VoIP reliable? You asked. As long as you have sufficient network bandwidth, an up-to-date network router, and a backup Ethernet cable, your VoIP service can be just as reliable as your traditional landline!

As the number of Microsoft Teams and Skype for Business users grows exponentially in recent years, many customers are looking for ways to integrate their existing analog and non-certified SIP paging and access control endpoints to these platforms. Letâs take a look at the challenges and how we can help to solve them.
The biggest challenge is that analog end-points can not be certified for a SIP-based platform like Skype for Business and Microsoft Teams.
And for SIP based IP Paging/Access Control products, very few vendors are certified because Skype for Business does VoIP over User Datagram Protocol (UDP) instead of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which means these IP endpoints must be designed specifically to support the platform.
Luckily, thereâs a perfect solution for this! Pattonâs SmartNode Gateways and eSBC are certified with Skype for Business. They can convert analog Paging Systems and endpoints to Skye for Business (SfB) certified SIP connectivity to the Microsoft environment. The units can also act as a bridge between standard, non-compliant, SIP Systems and endpoints to interoperate with Skype for Business.
Using your existing amplifiers, speakers, specialized end-points and wired infrastructure is easy with Pattonâs SmartNode solutions and it can really save you a fortune!
Additionally, in the case of standard SIP-based systems, using Patton SmartNodes gateways also means these devices can be addressed by Skype for Business together with other SIP based communication platforms.
Learn more about Pattonâs SmartNode Gateways and eSBCs on our website or give our VoIP experts a call at 1-800-398-8647 today!

Are you using Microsoft Teams and your calls keep dropping or being cut out? Or maybe you are tired of hearing the robot-like, delayed voice sounds? Donât get discouraged! Here are a few things you can do to avoid the frustration:
Using dedicated Microsoft Teams phones, headsets, web cameras and other devices can help you ensure a smoother calling experience. These devices are optimized for Microsoft Teams and some of them even come with a dedicated Teams button for ease of use. Here are a few example products:

See a Teams Phone comparison chart in this blog post to learn more!
Make sure your call traffic is prioritized across the managed networks by deploying Quality of Service (QoS). Without QoS, your call can end up being the lowest priority, which means the poorest call quality.
Is your device running at maximum capacity? Check your device to make sure you have enough memory and maybe free more space to improve your Teams performance.
Did you know your WiFi networks arenât necessarily configured to support real-time calls? If you are using WiFi, itâs important to check your WiFi networks and make sure they are optimized to support Microsoft Teams for a high-quality experience. Here are some factors to consider:
