The conventional telephone network outlasts

The conventional telephone network outlasts

In the history of modern telecommunication systems, in the sectors of mobile telephony and Voice over IP and the exceeding success of these systems, one must wonder where our classic landline phones still fit in. The pressure on this market has clearly risen, while most providers offer lower priced packages with VoIP and or mobile contracts, than with fixed-line connections.

Despite the change in the marketing sector, the conclusion that DECT phones will seize to exist or lose their meaning at one point, is just not true. Even if a decline of landline telephony is still happening to some extent, the phones of todays fixed line network will often do the same trick. Mobile standards like SMS, Voicemail, or call number dispaly, etc. are no longer subject to mobile telephony alone, because newer generations for our classical house connection telephones can just do all of this. Apart from that, main line still provides a significantly better voice transmission quality compared to most of mobile phones linked to mobile communications networks and above all, compared to VoIP-Phones.

What we see in the vicissitude of the telecommunications market and the hardware to use, is the steadiness of our main line phones and connections. The time of the abolishment of landline telephony (with Gigaset) will eventually never come.

Even as technical standards advance visual telephony, not only for telephone confernces and bureau applications, but also for the home user, will be becoming a trend and an effortable achievement. If video telephones as future household investments truly become the product of demand, what could come to us not so far from now, landline will definitively not only remain but expand its position.
