BT Micro – The ‘Office-in-a-Box’ Telephone Solution

The BT Micro System is the premier product for Small businesses, that require broadband communications as well as feature rich voice services and data networking.

BT Micro is a practical, convenient and affordable "office in a box" communications solution for the smaller business. It brings voice, broadband and data communications together in one box with dedicated helpdesk support. The Micro boasts the extensive call handling features you would expect from a telephone system with both wired and mobile DECT extensions (so you can roam on the phone!). But it also includes an integrated ADSL modem (for connection to the internet via broadband), a four port router, a firewall and Wireless LAN capability. And, on top of this, it has the ability to grow to support up to 8 handsets.

The fully featured telephone system has also been designed to exploit Voice over Internet Protocol technology (VoIP), with the capacity to support 2 VoIP 'virtual' phone lines (phone calls made over your broadband connection) in addition to a single standard PSTN line*. All lines work in the same way, regardless of whether they are PSTN or VoIP. The benefit of VoIP lines is their potential to save you money on calls.

BT Micro could help your business:-

  • By bringing broadband access to your workforce - extending access to the internet and email to everyone, and also opening up new opportunities from e-commerce.
  • Improve call routing and call handling - allowing you to handle those all important calls more effectively.
  • With voicemail - making people and services accessible, 24 hours a day. Calls are answered even when there is no-one there.
  • Built-in LAN - giving you the ability to connect PCs and share resources such as printers, (either wired or wireless).

All this in a streamlined contemporary desktop design that is an attractive feature in any office.
