By using the existing data network to deliver converged voice and Internet services, you can eliminate capital expenses and see an immediate reduction in maintenance and support expenditures. Depending on your plan, long-distance costs for students are eliminated or extremely reduced.

Converging your voice and data networks allow you to remove old PBX connections from residential buildings while still providing dedicated safety phones in hallways and common areas.

VoIP phone systems can be easily expanded as you grow. While traditional PBX systems often forced technicians to unplug every user from a phone network, transport the entire system to a new building, then set up the whole system over again, with VoIP the process is simple. Adding new users is as easy as copying a text file. As long as new buildings have Ethernet, users can even handle moves themselves by simply plugging a phone and adapter into a network port.

Apogee maintains a database of every subscriber address so that our system can automatically pass on accurate information when connecting a caller to local emergency call centers. This enhanced 911 service will display current address and phone number information to emergency dispatchers when users dial 911 from their VoIP phone.

Instead of investing in traditional analog equipment, blending your voice and data services allows you to eliminate the costs of maintaining aging PBX systems, end age-old contracts with the Telcom giants and refocus your capital resources where you need them the most.

You receive one monthly bill from one provider and students call a single toll-free support number to access Apogee’s customer support team. Apogee handles all maintenance and support so your staff can focus on the mission-critical tasks of the university without the burden of managing a residential phone system.

Because our digital adapter is the size of a paperback novel and connects to any standard phone, it can easily travel anywhere in the world - bringing a local number with it! Whether students are studying abroad or calling between regional campuses, free local rates will still apply.

Our VoIP service is fully supported by teams of expert customer support technicians available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our call center is locally trained and managed and specializes in issues specific to student living in a high-density campus environment.
