What is a Key System?

Posted on by

A Key System – also known as a Key Telephone System (KTS) – is a very basic and traditional form of telephony primarily used by small and medium businesses.

Ideal for businesses with less than 30 users, traditional Key Systems include a central controller and multiple telephones. Each telephone has a button for every phone line.

Key Systems have been around in some form since the 1930s, but remain in use today despite new technologies. Many businesses decide to keep their Key System because they are simple and “just work”. By opting out of the VoIP trend, they are missing out on modern features and advantages.

For this reason, Bicom Systems created the IP Key System – Tradition Reinvented. Learn more about IP Key Systems here.

key systemsIt seems at times as if Key Systems have been around since before Alexander Graham Bell, certainly the dust that has grown up on them over the years is proof of this. And still they work. Well – almost!

For sure, I can still get the spare parts from Panasonic and Nortel’s BCM. However, my service provider is apparently stopping all TDM service in 2020. I asked my dry cleaner this morning as I picked up the laundry what he’s going to do.

His reply, as with just about everything he does, as he runs back and forward between the shop counter and the storage, was simply, ‘clean-up’.

Understandable, but not exactly with much direction, and this seems to be the case with about a quarter of the country. Here’s the news, to repeat some puns, “You’re going the cleaners!”

It’s a problem though. He’s not got time for a VoIP system. He just needs something to carry on working.

The Key System has a glorious history in Telecommunications using Line Presence as a feature that every customer could understand.

For this reason, we sat down and tried to find a solution. With Bicom’s Key Systems, we sought to provide tradition re-invented. You are able to use modern VoIP capabilities without having to retrain your customers on how to use their phone.

You have shiny new phones, yes. You have a choice of providers for your calls with much less cost. But for the user, they can still just pick up and make a call. Pick up and receive a call then transfer the line. It works.

Features, such as auto provisioning for your phones along with true Plug & Play capability, creates a winning combination.
