Frequently Asked Questions
A business phone system is like the brain behind making and receiving of calls for an organization. Also known as a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), it is often a mix of hardware and software that handles routing and switching of calls between a business and the telephone network.
Originally, the 'PBX' was nothing but a switchboard operator. It's name originates from the way it interacts with the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).
Today, phone systems such as the SolSwitch, have evolved into suites of Unified Communications tools that cover a wide range of corporate telecom needs.
As the name implies, cloud-based phone systems are hosted in the cloud. This means you get all the features and functionality of a VoIP system without the need for on-site equipment. This reduces on-premise data center costs (such as UPS and generator sizing) and complexity while providing a flexible and scalable solution.
Sunwire can provide you with a local number to any area in North America, a toll-free number or short codes for SMS texting.
Although each company has a unique set of communication requirements, the most popular items that businesses typically look for in a communications platform include:

- Reliability/Redundancy: We understand the importance of ensuring your business is operating as best as possible. Sunwire provides advanced support options, high-availability and load-balancing systems as well as a wide-range of additional redundancy options.
- Features/Functionality: Systems must perform so much more than tasks of just a phone system. The SolSwitch has 100s of customizable unified communication features and functionality.
- Security: Sunwire is SOC 2 compliant in order to provide you with the utmost peace of mind. As a Cybersecurity and IT provider, Sunwire's experts are very familiar with safeguarding information.
- Costs: The main reason companies move away from traditional systems to VoIP systems are for cost-savings.
