What Your Peers Are Saying About Microsoft Teams

Communications Manager
One of our main issues today is the future of telephony. We have different solutions and technologies in place to satisfy various needs. For example, the office does not have the same requirements as the production area. We have decided to harmonize telephony worldwide using Microsoft Teams telephony. However, we are uncertain about the best approach for the production area, which has minimal needs (just making and receiving calls) and currently uses simple DECT phones. We are considering whether to continue with DECT, switch to DECT linked to Teams, or use smartphones with Teams. Can someone share what they use in their production areas?
IT Analyst
As we modernize and consolidate services, it's important not to lose sight of the core purpose behind them. In a manufacturing environment, telephony serves as a critical fallback communication tool—often the only means of reaching emergency services when all other infrastructure fails. Additionally, some manufacturing operations require hotline telephony, where simply lifting the handset automatically dials preset numbers. Given this, we must minimize potential points of failure and ensure seamless interoperability between modern and traditional systems. My take would be, 1. Implement a hardwired PBX system for hotlines, ensuring reliable emergency communication. Use fixed phones for common services and DECT for cordless extensions in the production plant to maintain mobility without compromising reliability. 2. Integrate the PBX system with Teams or an IP telephony (IPT) solution to enhance interoperability. 3. Leverage smartphones as an additional option where applicable, keeping in mind that most off-the-shelf models are not intrinsically safe for use in production areas. This approach balances cost-effectiveness with functionality—eliminating recurring subscription costs for plant extensions while maintaining a unified number plan. Moreover, DECT provides nearly double the coverage of Wi-Fi, operates on a separate frequency to prevent interference, and contributes less to floor noise, making it a more suitable choice for industrial environments.
