Historic Church IP Phone System Deployment Case Study

This case study details the deployment of a new IP phone system at a historic church built in 1893. The church faced significant challenges due to its status as a preserved site, which prohibited traditional installation methods that would involve construction or alteration of the building. Nuance Inc. recommended the use of NVT Phybridge Power over Ethernet (PoE) innovations to implement the new system without disrupting the church's structure. The deployment was completed in just one and a half days, significantly faster than the anticipated months-long process. The use of existing CAT3 infrastructure allowed for a non-invasive installation, preserving the church's historical integrity while modernizing its communication capabilities. The new system mitigates issues related to power outages and memory loss that plagued the previous Nortel system, ensuring reliable communication for the church's current and future needs. This case exemplifies how innovative technology can facilitate upgrades in sensitive environments.
