UVa. dumps dorm land-line phones

10.08.10

It appears that neither of the two comments above finish a go over from anyone with real world involvement designing PBX systems, much less the nuances of campus telecom.

Return the existing infrastructure with VOIP? Yeah, that's hot, but the bring in would greatly exceed that of maintaining the existing system. Then consideration the hardware requirements; basic IP phones are rarely seen skin of the business environment, so what's a swot supposed to do, drop an additional $300 for a handset? Voicemail now becomes a managed handling (no more placing answering gadget next to the phone) which means and additional cost of cash. The network now becomes falls into the scuttle of "critical services"; it's more than not being gifted to update your Facebook call out, a network outage means no 911 calls.

At long last, it's a cost-cutting reckon, but I'm quite sure it's not a steadfastness that was made lightly. If you're really that interested, I'm sure a summary of use statistics for the dorms (a chief piece of evidence that will, no be uncertain show a drastic decline in handling) is available on one of the Internets. Or very recently read the full press emancipation from the University instead of the AP advice clip.
