When Cloud Isn’t the Right Fit
Cloud telephony and unified platforms like Teams or Zoom don’t suit every organisation. For sectors like hospitality, healthcare, and maritime operations, a stable, self-contained phone system is not just preferred—it can be mission critical.
Litenet specialises in designing, maintaining and modernising on-premises telephone systems where reliability, cost-efficiency, and control are essential.
On-Premises vs Cloud: What’s the Difference?
Cloud Telephony: Hosted in a remote datacentre and charged per user, per month.
On-Premises Telephony: Hardware resides within your own environment. No per-seat rental—just shared line capacity and full system control.
With on-premises systems:
- A few SIP trunks can support hundreds of extensions
- Long-term costs are often lower than cloud subscriptions
- Internal-only calls still work during internet outages
Especially valuable for larger sites where not all users need simultaneous external calling.
