What is VoIP?

VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) transmits voice calls over IP networks using an internet connection instead of traditional telephone lines. These systems convert analogue voice signals into digital data by compressing sound into smaller packets, which are then transmitted over an IP network to devices such as smartphones, computers, and tablets.

For businesses, VoIP allows call routing through a secure, internet-connected data centre, removing the need for physical hardware on-site. This internet-based solution is straightforward to install, with no initial connection fees, and offers easy maintenance and upgrades. Its flexibility ensures the system can expand with your business and provides robust call management features.

Cloud-hosted IP phone systems offer reliability that conventional phone systems often lack. For businesses that depend on call tracking, support for hybrid work environments, and detailed call analytics, adopting IP telephony is an excellent way to enhance operational efficiency and reliability.

Julia Connely

I have had difficulties using Horizon on my mobile and Carl has helped me to get the new hub connected with a lot of patience. Found out that my broadband provider had to give permission for connection as it wasn’t their hub I was using anymore. He has been very calm throughout.

Mac McGlone

I spoke with Carl after my system was down. He guided me through the problems and kept me informed. The follow up was excellent until the problem was resolved.

Richard Davies

We recently changed from a standard broadband line to a leased line with Fidelity. It was installed within two months of signing (and that included the Christmas/New Year break), so much quicker than we expected. And it is far superior to our old line. A very efficient service.

Marco has helped a great deal on the problem and has helped to improve the services after discussion, some of which I did not realise were available. He kept in touch until we were fully happy.
