Centrepoint Technologies launches new telephone system with hybrid capability for VoIP and PSTN calling

CenterPoint makes simple, low cost and effective telecommunication systems perfectly designed for the small-medium sized business market and Centrepoint Technologies, recently released the TalkSwitch 48-CVA, a hybrid telephone system that offers combined access to the traditional, publicly switched telephone network (PSTN) and voice over IP (VoIP).

With the TalkSwitch 48-CVA, businesses can maintain their connections to the PSTN for local calling and switch to built-in VoIP connections for long distance and inter-branch calling. Multi-location businesses can significantly reduce long distance charges, as well as improve productivity across all locations. The system, designed for businesses with 1 to 32 users per location, includes features such as 3-digit dialing between branches, seamless call transfer between locations, and easy access to IP network services such as Internet calling. All calls, whether PSTN or VoIP, can be made using any standard analog phone.

"Demand for VoIP has been rising dramatically in the small business market," said Jan Scheeren, President and CEO, Centrepoint Technologies. "It's a big market, with over 6 million businesses in North America, but until now there hasn't been a phone system that adequately addressed it. To capture small business, you need prices that even the smallest businesses can afford. You need a system that's easily installed and configured by the users themselves. You need a mix of PSTN and VoIP connections in one system. TalkSwitch 48-CVA fits those needs."
