Voice Over IP
More and more businesses are switching to VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) for their phone service. VoIP enables multiple sites to share one phone identity with the outside world. It makes extensions in all locations look and act like physical extensions of one in-house PBX (telephone switch) and allows a centralized (human or automated) attendant to answer and route calls.
By leaving this functionality to a host machine in the cloud, subscribers a) avoid capital commitment and upgrade responsibility and b) get built-in disaster recovery; should some event prevent employees from coming into work, VoIP's location independence, just like email, enables workers to answer their calls from any broadband connection.

Pros and cons of wireless home security systems
Unlike wired security systems that run through your phone lines and can require more extensive installation, wireless systems can be installed in a matter of minutes as a quick and painless DIY project. “Convenience is the major reason people switch to wireless,” says Du, and it’s hard to argue against a 10-minute setup when the wired option requires professional installation of wires underneath your house.
However, convenience doesn’t necessarily come with added security. Going from wired to wireless security means potentially exposing yourself to outside attacks if you don’t do it right. “You don’t need to enter a house to cut the wire with wireless,” the way you would with wired security, warns Du. Without taking the proper security precautions, you could be leaving your home open to intruders who can jam your system and enter your home without your sensors picking up their presence
Installations
Duties of Line Installers and Repairers
Telecommunications line installers and repairers typically do the following:
- Install, maintain, or repair telecommunications equipment

- Pull cables in underground conduit
- Install aerial cables, including over lakes or across rivers
