Office phones
have either analog or digital operating systems.
Office phones come in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes, and in both digital and analog operating systems. Analog and digital not only refers to the type of phone, but also a specific feature on the phone. This means that a phone can have both analog and digital features.
Analog
Analog is process in which the phone translates audio input into electronic pulses. We have used analog devices for decades, from our land line telephones to televisions that required a accurately angled antenna to clearly receive stations. However, because analog is so simple and has translation size limitations, you can only get so much out of your device before it cannot handle anymore.
Digital
Digital is a more recent form of technology that actually breaks down input signals into binary format, which is then translated into 0s and 1s for sending. The best asset of digital is that it provides clarity by putting the original signal back together as it is meant to be, thus fixing any discrepancies that may have occurred in translation of the audio.
Office Phones
When choosing office equipment, it is extremely important to be sure you have the right type of equipment to get the job done effectively and efficiently. A small office without a lot of telephone calls going in or out can get the job done just fine with analog phones. However, larger offices with telephones that are frequently used may require a digital phone system simply because it can handle a higher amount of data going in and out. Plus, with the added clarity of digital, both employees and customers will be able to more clearly communicate.
