Will VoIP Equipment Replace Traditional Telephone Systems One Day?

By Carrie Schmelkin, TMCnet Web Editor


With the advent of VoIP equipment and a slew of heightened features with each piece of technology, VoIP equipment might quickly replace the traditional telephone system one day, according to some industry experts. 

Dave Dadds, deputy chairman of the Federation of Communication Services, recently explained that there is little point in buying a system that depreciates in value over a cloud-based, hi-tech version such as VoIP. Moreover, he suggested that eventually the "vast majority" of businesses will eventually switch to VoIP and VoIP equipment will soon become a "default" option for companies.

Commenting on the benefits of VoIP solutions, Dadds stated: "You can use your phones anywhere in the country and anywhere in the world just by plugging them in and loading the application."

In addition, it is much cheaper to purchase VoIP over rival systems as the capital expenditure is significantly lower.


One company that is poised to meet the rising demand for VoIP solutions is VoIP Supply, North America’s leading provider of VoIP equipment. VoIP Supply, a division of Sayers Technology Holdings, boasts offerings for businesses, service providers and resellers. In addition to a comprehensive product catalog, the company offers technical support, extended warranties, device configuration, installations and logistical services. 

Recently, the company announced that is has expanded its Polycom (News - Alert) device offerings with the addition of the Polycom SoundStation Duo IP Conference Phone. Whether your business is thinking about migrating to VoIP services or is already a proud user of VoIP, the Polycom conference phone works in both environments. The Polycom SoundStation Duo is a dual mode analog and VoIP conference phone offering support for both telephony platforms.

“Customers needing more board room device choices can look to innovative industry leader Polycom ,” said Garrett Smith (News - Alert), chief marketing officer at VoIP Supply, in a statement. “The flexible SoundStation Duo works with the service you have now and what you plan to have; future proofing your investment.” 

VoIP Supply is a three-time INC 5,000 honoree and in 2007, was ranked number 45 on the Entrepreneur Magazine’s Hot 100 fastest growing companies in the U.S., according to company officials.
