PHONE SYSTEMS

Phone Systems

We stand behind the advanced technology of the Norstar Compact ICS telephone system (CICS), and the Norstar Modular ICS (MICS) telephone system. We have been servicing Fredericton, NB for the last 4 years and would be happy to submit a quotation or answer any questions you might have.

The Norstar ICS telephone system is packed with well over a hundred powerful features, like an integrated Automated Attendant which easily answers your calls and routes them to the right person or group. And if you equip your ICS with Calling Line Identification (CLID) and subscribe to the service from your local telephone company, your Norstar telephone’s LCD Window shows you the number (and name, where available) of the person calling. This convenient feature means you decide whether to take the call or return it later with the simple touch of a key.


With Direct Inward System Access (DISA), you can dial in to your Compact ICS telephone system remotely to use system features, direct dialing to internal sets, and cost-saving outgoing lines. Other standard features include:
• Auto Daylight Savings Time
• Paging
• Music on hold (MOH)
• Automatic Phone Set Relocation
• Toll Restriction

Fibre Optic

What are the advantages of Fiber Optics?

•Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money.
•Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire.
•Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable into your cable TV box.
•Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire.
•Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone conversations or TV reception.
•Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires. Again, this saves your provider and you money.
•Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks.
•Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire hazard.
•Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground.
