Summer is a common time for Twin Cities businesses to schedule office renovations or relocate their office to another location. Among the most important components of a successful move is ensuring your telecommunications infrastructure transitions seamlessly. Even a few hours of downtime can lead to missed client calls, disrupted operations, and lost revenue. 

Central Telephone Sales and Service provides Twin Cities businesses with comprehensive telecom relocation services. But we do more than move your physical phones; we can provide essential telecom services to get your new office up and running with minimal downtime. 

Quick Answer: Moving a Business Phone System

The most important services your business needs to relocate your telecommunications infrastructure include: 

  • Relocating Business Phones

  • Setup Network Wiring

  • Installing Cloud-Based Phone Systems

  • Installing Indoor Cellular Boosters

How to Move a Business Phone System: A Checklist

If you are planning a move, it’s a good idea to schedule your services around 60 to 90 days before the target move date. That gives our team plenty of time to ensure there is no disruption in service during the move itself. By following these checklist items, you can ensure your entire telecommunications system is covered and ready to go after the move. 

1. Relocate Business Phones 

Relocating business phones involves a few different steps, including: 

  • Creating a detailed roadmap for the move

  • Determine what equipment or wiring is available at the new location

  • Choose which equipment to move from your old office

  • Pack up and move the items

  • Reinstall the phone system and equipment at the new location

2. Setup Network Wiring

Network wiring setup may be needed at the new location to ensure your system works properly. If your new location only has copper wiring, it may not be sufficient to support modern telecommunications equipment. Our team can help you determine if you need new wiring, which can include: 

  • Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Wiring

  • Screened (Foil) Unshielded Twisted Pair (F/UTP) Wiring

  • Shielded with Foil Twisted Pair (S/FTP) Wiring

  • Fiber Optic Wiring

Central Telephone Sales and Service can handle the installation of any of these wiring types, keeping your telecommunications system covered by one company throughout the entire relocation process. 

3. Install Cloud-Based Phone Systems

If you want to switch to a cloud-based or VoIP phone system, we can handle that, too. Because voice and data can coexist on the same network, these solutions are better for operation costs and reduce infrastructure complexity.

These systems are scalable and integrate with other programs and systems, making it easy for your agents to answer and transfer calls and pull up client records. Plus, next time you move, it will be even easier to relocate your phone system. 

4. Install Indoor Cellular Boosters

Not all buildings are created equal, and many construction materials can interfere with cellular service. If you are worried or already know that your new location will not allow clear cell phone calls or other cellular services, Central Telephone Sales and Service can help install indoor cellular boosters.

This usually involves installing a distributed antenna system (DAS) in your space, which provides a uniform cell signal throughout the building.
