Kilvington Solicitors

Went to Kirby Stephen in Cumbria today to Kilvington Solicitors.

I had to take out a Samsung 7030 and replace it with a Samsung 7100.

This meant reprogramming the system from scratch.

All went well and tested fine.

Then the long 156 mile drive home. 

Another long day in the life.

Out early again tomorrow to my weekly networking meeting at BNI Birmingham.

Idris Elba

Returning to Idris Elba's office tomorrow to install and test some additional Cat 5 points.

Another early start and a long day in London.

Pleased that the tube strike has been called off.

Traffic will still be heavy though.

B.T. Turning off ISDN

This is no delayed April Fool, In a recent announcement BT said they were going to turn off ISDN services by 2025 (That is less than 10 years and time flies)

What does that mean for customers with ISDN? It means that sometime in the next 10 years they have to move to SIP and for many this could mean a whole new phone system as well.

Some phone systems can be upgraded to support SIP and therefore you would only need to find a SIP Trunk provider, other older or cheaper systems cannot be upgraded to SIP and this could mean you need to buy a whole new phone system or use a cloud based phone system.

Fortunately we provide both services and can assist you with the transition, we can even port your existing BT numbers so you can retain historical/valuable phone numbers.

SIP Trunking also known as VoIP Termination works in much the same way as ISDN in that it connects your on-premise phone system to the Cloud so you can make and receive calls. It is nearly always a lot cheaper than ISDN for line rental and call costs.

A Hosted Phone System is cloud based, on site you only need handsets, the brains part is in the cloud. Because the handests are connected to the cloud via the internet you can even have handsets for remote workers that are connected to your main system, this has many benefits, free internal calls, no messing about with expenses for calls/lines, and using Telestat in your office you can see what they are doing along side your office based staff.

If you require any assistance or further information please give us a call at Comms2Comms.

UK to rush in new surveillance law under banner of 'emergency legislation'

Civil liberties group cries foul as government renews bid to force telcos to retain communications data.

The U.K. government plans to fast-track a new 'emergency' bill requiring telcos to retain communications data.

In a statement on Thursday, the government said there is an urgent need to usher in new rules after the European Court of Justice invalidated the EU's Data Retention Directive, which stipulated that member states must store individual citizens' voice call and SMS records, emails and Internet usage and make the information available to law enforcement agencies.

It is worth pointing out though that this happened in April, which begs the question: why has it taken several months for it to become an emergency?

"As events in Iraq and Syria demonstrate, now is not the time to be scaling back on our ability to keep our people safe," said Prime Minister David Cameron.
