In business, moving office can be a stressful time. No matter how much planning you seem to put in to moving office, there’s always something which is forgotten or which goes disastrously wrong.
One of the cries for help we often receive is when our customers have forgotten to order telephones or internet and have either moved in or are days away from moving office. In an age where we’re all connected and rely on phones and internet to keep our businesses running, it’s a bit of a show stopper to any business move when you’re not able to communicate with the outside world.
Let Summit take the stress out of moving! We’re experts in Internet relocation and Phone relocation. Our project team will work with you every step of the way, from pre-qualifying your prospective offices when you’re looking to move, right through to making sure you’re online with fibre internet and our hosted phone system before you move in.
Here’s a checklist to help you plan your move
- Before you sign your lease, submit a Service Qualification to ensure fibre internet is available in your building.
- Allow for enough power and data to each desk. We recommend 2 Data Points and 4 Power Points per workstation.
- Ensure that you allow 60-90 business days to have your fibre internet installed.
- Submit your number porting so that you can take your numbers with you.
- Make sure you’ve allowed enough space for your current staff + your growth plans of at least 20%! There’s nothing worse than having to do it all again in 12 months.
- Plan, check your plans, re-plan and then execute!
If you’re thinking of moving, make sure you reach out to our team so that we can take the pain out of moving office for your telecommunications needs.

Business phone systems can be very confusing. There are so many options, acronyms and tech talk out there.
With more than 15 years in the business phone game, I have come up with a simple plan for business owners to follow when facing this challenge.
Start off with an outline of the features and capabilities you and your business require. Consult the different teams, departments and job functions and build a prioritised list of system features in categories.
“Put yourself in the phone call.” Close your eyes and imagine you are a phone call to your business. Try to define how you would like to be treated.
- Would you like to speak to a real person or press 1 for Sales, 2 for Accounts etc.?
- How long are you prepared to wait if nobody is available?
- Would you like to listen to information about the business or would you prefer some nice music while waiting?
- If no one is available would you like your voicemail to be emailed?
Business phone features have changed a lot over the past few years. With the introduction of Cloud Phone Systems the feature set is huge and can give your business the edge in productivity. Here are some phone solutions that can help streamline your business communication and give your callers a better experience.
- Work from anywhere, anytime – Enable your staff to work from anywhere with the option of a desk phone or softphone on a PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad or Android device.
- Call recording – Great for call quality control and compliance for sales and support teams.
- Multiple Offices, One Phone System – No longer do you need a phone system for each office. A Cloud PBX enables all your sites to be one phone system.
Determining what you need will make your discussions with business phone system providers faster, more productive and ensure a better outcome for your company.

With the rollout of the NBN progressing at a much faster rate since the Government announced the NBN Multi-Technology Mix, the disconnection of standard telephone services such as PSTN and ISDN will now be complete by 2022.
Is your phone system NBN ready? Many businesses are being caught out with the NBN rollout finding out after the fact that their current analogue phone system, key telephone system or traditional pabx is not NBN compatible.
With the arrival of the NBN, your business will need to move from traditional PSTN and ISDN telephone services to IP or SIP telephone services.
Summit has designed a number of ways to make the migration to an NBN Compatible Telephone System as painless as possible. We have an expert team who will work with you to Project Manage your move to an NBN Ready Phone System.
Hosted Telephone System
The easiest way to get a NBN Compatible Telephone Service is using a Hosted Phone System, Hosted PBX or Cloud PBX. With a Hosted PBX, the only equipment required in your business is an Internet Connection and the Phone Handsets on the desk. The Phone System lives in the cloud inside Summit’s Secure Datacentes. FlexPBX from Summit Internet offers you phone bill certainty with Unlimited Standard Local, National and Mobile calls for just $39.95 per user, per month.
PSTN or ISDN Gateway
If you want to keep your existing phone system, such as NEC Xen, NEC Topaz, NEC SV8100, LG Aria, Nortel BCM, Commander Phone System, Siemens PABX, Avaya IP Office, LG IPECS, Samsung PABX, Mitel, Alcatel PABX, Hybrex Phone System or Panasonic PBX, then you will need a PSTN or ISDN Gateway.
A PSTN or ISDN gateway allows you to connect your traditional phone system to the Summit IP Voice Network to be NBN ready.
Summit Internet offers a range of PSTN and ISDN gateways for Voice over IP Telephony on the NBN and work closely with a number of Traditional Phone System Technicals to install and configure your phone system to be ready for the NBN.
Don’t get caught out and be cut off. Speak to us now to move on to a NBN ready phone solution.

When Sunshine Coast Sports & Exercise recently moved in to a new office, they did so without a phone system able to support their business.
Summit Internet through partner Lucidity IT enabled Dr Will Craddock and his team with the FlexPBX Hosted Phone System getting them active within days, not weeks. New phone numbers were issued within 24 hours and handsets shipped to site within 7 days.
“This system is truly awesome! It’s the most flexible phone system I’ve ever seen. The team at Summit Internet were able to assist us with our call flow setup as well as enabling our business with softphones using Counterpath Bria on our iPhones. I would recommend this to any new or existing business looking for a new phone system.”
Dr Will Craddock, Director – Sunshine Coast Sports & Exercise
