TDM PBX:
the Past and the Present

What is TDM & What is TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) is a method of transmitting
TDM PBX and receiving multiple signals over the same medium. It allows
telephone companies to migrate from analog to digital and is
widely used in ISDN telephone lines and PSTN networks.

TDM PBX system, as a commonly used proprietary business phone


system, uses physical switches to route calls over copper wires. It
is designed as a cabinet with different boards to perform certain
functions. In other words, it relies on telephone lines and technical
equipment to work.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 01


A Brief History of TDM has been in use for generations and is generally regarded as a
TDM PBX reliable means of business voice communications.

The first generation of PBX required calls to be directed manually.


Later on, automated switchboards became the norm with cost cut
down and additional functionalities offered. TDM PBX systems were
first introduced in the 1960s and 1970s and became widely used
in the 1980s and 1990s, allowing multiple calls to be processed
over a single telephone line. These systems provided a wider range
of features, including call routing, call waiting, call forwarding, and
voicemail, making them an attractive option for businesses.

However, the advent of IP-based PBX systems in the late 1990s and
early 2000s marked a major shift in the telecommunications industry.

The Rise of VoIP and Instead of sending data packets over a traditional circuit-switched
IP PBX network, VoIP converts voice into digital data packets that can be
transmitted over your local area network (LAN) and the external
wide area network (WAN) to enable phone calls. Simply put, VoIP
uses the Internet rather than physical switches to route calls.

No need to connect to physical phone lines. Supporting virtually


any internet-connected device. Increased flexibility in scaling up or
down. A way more diverse feature set. The list of benefits goes on.
IP PBX has been gaining strength, especially in the past decades,
with the enhancement of the network infrastructure.
Voice over Internet Protocol

Instead of an overall migration, there are also a number of


companies opting for the integration of TDM with IP telephony,
either hybrid PBX or VoIP gateways, to reap the benefits of IP
without completely replacing their existing equipment.

There are still some businesses using TDM PBX systems for legacy
reasons or because of their preference for
the reliability and security of traditional
telephone networks.

Is TDM Dead?

Why Are TDM Phone TDM systems have been in place for quite a long time. Using
Systems Becoming dedicated telephone lines with existing infrastructure ensures

Obsolete? the reliability of TDM telephone systems. The audio quality is


consistently solid, but only basic calling features, such as call
routing, hold, voicemail, and conference calls, are available. Also,
phones must be connected to available phone jacks, which means
you will also need to increase the outlay for lines and additional
equipment.

To make things worse, these systems are becoming increasingly


expensive to maintain, especially since it gets harder to find
replacement parts. There was little or no further development in
this technology, making it more difficult to meet the various new
needs emerging from the times.

At the end of the day, the new, modern VoIP technology determines
the demise of the legacy TDM technology.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 03


Carriers Are Phasing Out The switch-off of ISDN and PSTN technology began several years
ISDN/PSTN While Vendors ago and is still ongoing in many parts of the world. The pace of the

Sunsetting TDM PBX transition varies depending on the carrier, the country, and the level
of adoption of IP-based communication technologies.

Major carriers like AT&T, Verizon, BT Group, Deutsche Telekom, Telstra,


and many others around the world are retiring this service for that:

The advancements in VoIP eliminate the need for physical


phone lines.
It is more cost-effective for carriers to replace these aging
networks than upgrade them.
Retiring this Service
In some countries, it is encouraged or required to shut off
these services.

Overall, the phase-out is a multi-year process that will continue to


evolve in the coming years.

With this downward trend and shrinking market demand, several big-
name vendors, including Panasonic, Samsung, Nortel, and Shortel
have discontinued their legacy PBX systems in recent years. The
majority of the industry has been shifting focus toward IP telephony
or cloud-based voice solutions over the past two decades. It is just
a matter of time before TDM PBXs are completely replaced by these
more modern and efficient communication technologies.

Why Are Lots of Businesses Although TDM is reaching the end of its life, this old technology
Still Hanging on to TDM apparently has a long tail as a lot of TDM-based systems are still

PBX? working just fine and businesses simply do not like changes.
According to our recent poll on LinkedIn, 61% of respondents said
that over 50% of the customers in their local markets are still using
TDM PBXs. What holds them back from the upgrade?

They simply don't see the benefits and don't care about the fancy
features.
It is somewhat difficult for organizations to realize the productivity
gains and value for money that comes with an IP PBX when their
existing phone system can still serve their basic calling needs. As
long as there are no major issues causing business disruption,
even in some cases, the user experience is not that smooth and
satisfactory, these "minor" issues can be ignored or tolerated.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 04


They are afraid that the existing equipment will become redundant.
Many businesses have already invested in their TDM PBX systems
and the associated infrastructure significantly. A complete overhaul
can be a time-consuming and costly process. This is especially true
for larger organizations that have more extensive networks and
require significant hardware upgrades and system reconfiguration.

They believe that TDM is a more reliable means of business


communications.
TDM PBX has a proven track record. It operates on dedicated phone
lines, which simply means consistent call quality and fewer cyber
threats. In contrast, IP PBX requires a stable internet connection to
Value for Money Reliability
function properly, so it can be a problem for businesses that do not
have access to high-speed internet.

Existing Hardware Investments The migration may raise objections from within the company.
Management may worry about staff training and the learning curve
of a new system. Many IT professionals and other employees are
Skeptical Employees already familiar with TDM PBX systems and may prefer to stick
with what they know. The operations team may be concerned about
infrastructure hassles and system downtime.
Deployment Timeline
Some transition processes can be years, with several challenges
along the way.
Vertical Demands During the transition, there may be some downtime as the new
system is installed and configured. In some cases, the existing
legacy infrastructure may not be compatible with IP ones, which
requires additional investment in new equipment and infrastructure
to ensure a successful switch.

TDM PBX is the preferable solution for certain verticals.


For example, the hospitality industry, including hotels and resorts,
often has complex communication needs due to the large size
of their properties and the need to connect guests with various
departments and services.

Instead of expensive IP endpoints, many small to medium-


sized hospitality businesses tend to deploy more cost-effective
analog phones for every room, so the upgrade inevitably involves
connecting these legacy devices to the IP-based system, adding
extra integration and configuration complexity to the task..

"If It Isn't Broke, Don't Fix It"
Attitude

The question "should companies stay with TDM or make the move
to SIP" is not a hard one to answer. VoIP is a clearly better option
either from a technical perspective or in terms of value for money
and usability. However, organizations are not likely to replace legacy
TDM PBXs until they relocate, the business outgrows the current
system, or the PBX just breaks down.

It takes a combination of education, clear communication, and


a well-planned transition strategy to persuade customers into a
sooner migration. Yeastar is committed to helping channel partners
accelerate these decisions and win more project opportunities.
Here are some materials that can help you use to clear up customer
concerns and demonstrate the value of IP PBX.

8 Signs That Your Outdated Here is how your TDM phone system presents more business risks
TDM Phone System is than you ever thought possible.

Hurting Your Bottom Line


1 You have to spend a fortune to scale the system.

How much did you spend on expanding your TDM PBX system the
last time you had a surge in call volume or staffing? Guess it was
not a small amount.

Purchasing new hardware to extend your TDM PBX can be costly.


Because your system is configured with a fixed number of analog
telephone lines, you need to bring additional phone lines into your facility,
which also means adding new boards into the system, thus making the
system bulky in size. Since supported phone lines are sold by the board,
you usually have to purchase more capacity than you need.

2 It is a daunting task to add new phone lines.


Complex Wiring Configurations
TDM relies on hardware and phone lines to carry your voice traffic,
so you need to contact your phone service provider every time you
want to bring in new lines. It could take weeks or over a month to
complete the cabling work required to support TDM connectivity,
which also involves complex wiring configurations and may require
shutting down the system temporarily.

In contrast, with IP-based phone systems, you can increase the


number of call appearances on a SIP trunk via self-service web
interfaces or by simply opening a ticket with your carrier.

3 You are locked to a single vendor for the overall architecture.

Worse yet, not only do you have to purchase boards that may
exceed actual needs, but you also have to buy them from the same
vendor as the rest of your components to ensure compatibility.

TDM technology is frequently proprietary, which means you simply cannot


shop around for the best prices and add one vendor's fix to another's TDM
system. There is no competition and little choice in products.

It is also risky to stick with the old TDM system given that more and
more vendors ring the death bell of the TDM PBX every year. The
parts will become more difficult to find and qualified technicians
for support will also be fewer.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 07


4 You need dedicated IT staff to keep the system running properly.

Having a TDM system involves constant in-house management,


maintenance, and configuration. Otherwise, you are risking business
interruptions due to system outages that fail to be remedied in time.
Especially for small businesses, it is pretty bad value for money to
have someone take care of this very system.

For MACs (moves, adds, and changes) to the existing settings, you
also need to contact your telephone service provider in advance.
Therefore, maintenance contracts become a necessity to keep
everything working as your vendor or service provider is your only
backup when things get problematic.

5 You are struggling to manage different phone systems in multiple


locations.

If your organization plans to add a new building, you will need to


purchase an entirely new TDM infrastructure as TDM PBX systems
limited in the number of physical ports available are designed for
a single location. The complex wiring configurations make it even
harder to replicate across multiple locations. It is also challenging
from a maintenance standpoint also, as any changes or updates
may need to be performed at each location individually.

6 Your employees are tied to their desks to make and receive calls.

TDM PBX systems are typically not designed with mobility in mind.
They are often limited to physical desk phones connected to the
PBX system via hard-wired connections, making it difficult for
employees to work remotely or on the go. Your employees also
have no access to advanced features like softphone applications,
presence, and instant messaging.

While some TDM PBX systems may offer limited remote access to
voicemail or call forwarding, they are often not as robust or flexible
as modern IP phone systems.

7 Your phone system cannot fit into today's business


communications ecosystem.

Are you using customer relationship management (CRM) systems?


What about contact center software or Microsoft Teams? Are these

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 08


systems working together or in silos?

You may be able to purchase additional hardware to support certain


phone capabilities, such as intercom functionality, but as TDM PBX
systems use proprietary software that is not compatible with other
systems, they are often limited in terms of the number and type of
integration options available. Even minor alterations to the system
require knowledgeable and trained technicians to manage and
control.

8 Your phone system fails from time to time, causing business


interruptions.

TDM PBX is susceptible to hardware malfunctions. Components


Hardware Malfunctions such as power supplies, line cards, and central processing units
can fail, as well as the software used to control them, causing the
system to go down. Configuration errors, changes without proper
testing, and landline damages can also lead to system crashes and
failure.

Depending on the severity of the failure, it may take significant


time and resources to troubleshoot and repair the system, further

Cost Analysis of TDM to If you have already invested heavily in TDM PBX infrastructure and
IP Migration not want to incur the additional costs associated with replacing
everything with an IP PBX system. In this case, it seems to be
more cost-effective to continue using TDM PBX until the end of its
lifespan. However, the decision not to upgrade could end up costing
you more.

According to Nemertes' 2016 Unified Communications Total


Cost of Operations research, those with a mix of IP and
TDM spend $735 per end unit (i.e., phone, audio bridge, etc.)
on average, compared to only $677 for those with an all-IP
environment.

Organizations of all sizes saved an average of 8% per year in


operational costs by upgrading to all-IP. Large enterprises with
more than 1,000 sites saved 26% per year upon completion
of their IP deployments, according to the survey of 299 IT
executives.

The decision to migrate from a TDM PBX to an IP PBX system


depends on the specific needs and circumstances of every
organization. A thorough cost-benefit analysis can be helpful in
determining whether the switch is financially viable and likely to
provide significant long-term benefits.

in cost savings.

Debunking 8 1 “My phone system is working fine so there is no need to plan for

Misconceptions about an update now.”

TDM to IP Migration
It is not just about fixing current issues, but also about preparing
for future needs and potential issues. PSTN/ISDN will be
completely shut down in the very near future. As TDM technology
is becoming outdated, it can be increasingly difficult and costly to
find replacement parts and support. In terms of functionality, by
not upgrading, you could also miss out on great opportunities to
improve call efficiency and business operations.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 12


2 “I have to ditch my TDM PBX to take advantage of VoIP.”

Moving to a VoIP system doesn't necessarily mean sacrificing


your investments in the existing system completely. By taking
a hybrid or phased approach, you can still reap the benefits of
VoIP while minimizing disruption to your business. For example,
acting as a bridge between these two networks, a VoIP gateway
can be a cost-effective way to integrate TDM PBX into VoIP
networks.

3 “It is complicated and labor-intensive to implement an IP PBX


system.”

It doesn't have to be. There are several ways to simplify the


process and reduce efforts. The choice of vendor and solution
has a significant impact on the complexity of adoption. Cloud-
based hosted solutions managed by a third-party provider can
future minimize setup and configuration. Many modern IP PBX
systems are typically designed to be easy to use and require
minimal training with user-friendly management and user
interface.

4 “The audio quality of VoIP is not good enough.”

Admittedly, the audio quality of VoIP might be affected by the


bandwidth and the device used. However, most VoIP providers offer
a lot of different protocols and codecs to ensure the call quality of
VoIP is as good as landline-based calls. In the rare event that there
are audio quality issues, that normally indicates a need for support
or an issue with outdated phones, instead of an inherent flaw in
VoIP.

5 “IP PBX is not as reliable as TDM phone systems.”

People are wary of VoIP because it runs over the Internet instead
of physical phone lines. However, IP PBX uses quality of service
(QoS) technology to prioritize voice traffic over other types of data
traffic. With built-in redundancy and failover capabilities, even in the
event of a disaster or outage, the system can automatically switch
to a backup location or system to ensure that calls continue to be
processed.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 13


6 “Routing calls over the Internet will potentially jeopardize
security.”

IP PBX generally leverages modern security measures to safeguard


the system and protect the privacy of voice traffic. For example,
Modern security encryption is widely used on IP PBX to ensure that calls are secure
measures: and can't be intercepted or eavesdropped on by third parties, as
well as firewalls to block unauthorized access and protect against
cyber-attacks.

Encryption Firewalls 7 "Switching to VoIP means you have to change your phone
number."

With number porting, you can rest assured that your phone number
will stay the same, no matter what type of phone system you use.
Be sure to check with your provider to make sure your number is
eligible to port. In addition, by using IP PBX, you can easily add
virtual phone numbers for other locations or use cases to establish
a local presence in different areas without having to physically
office there.

8 "The migration is a lengthy process with downtime that could


cause business disruptions."

How long it is likely to take depends on the size of your business,


the complexity of your current phone system, and the specific
features and capabilities you want in your new system. A
knowledgeable and experienced provider will help you better
understand and streamline the entire process. Careful planning
and execution can also minimize potential downtime.

4 Practical Tips on 1 Develop a Comprehensive Migration Plan Ahead

Upgrading from TDM PBX


Determine the pace of your migration and outlines the specific
to IP PBX
steps and timelines. Do you prefer a complete replacement with an
all-IP approach or a phased transition with the TDM phone service
working in parallel? To what extent are you locked into contracts

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 14


with your current telephony providers? What kind of deployment
model is suitable for your company? Is it premise-based, cloud-
based, or hybrid? Are there any additional equipment, cabling,
and power requirements? Do you have enough phone lines and
handsets to support the number of employees on the new system?

2 Assess Your Network Capabilities

The quality of VoIP voice calls is heavily dependent on the


network. Perform a thorough assessment of the existing network
to determine whether any network upgrade or extra capacity is
needed. Any network latency or jitter can result in poor sound
quality or dropped calls. Pay particular attention to connection
reliability, data bandwidth, the maximum call volume, etc. Besides,
you may need to set up VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) or
prioritize your voice traffic with appropriate QoS (Quality of Service)
settings to avoid the effect of network congestion and improve
overall call quality.

3 Secure Your New IP PBX System

Plan Network
Unlike TDM PBX, an IP communications solution shares the
network with data and other applications, which requires prevention
against VoIP hacking and attacks coming from the Internet. In
addition to the basic practices such as using strong passwords and
keeping the system updated, it is essential to block unauthorized
Security Test Run
access with the firewall, restrict the use of outbound calls from
each vulnerable end-point, disallow anonymous incoming calls, and
set up alerts to notify you of any breaches.

4 Conduct a Test Run Before the Final Migration

Test every aspect of your network and IP PBX system before the full
implementation, particularly hardware and software components,
internal and external calling, audio quality, significant features,
compatibility of trunks and endpoints, and 3rd party integration.
It would be great if your administrator and employees can have
a trial of the new system to see if it is easy to manage and use.
Furthermore, a roll-back plan that allows for turning things back to
the TDM option can also reduce risks if the VoIP system doesn't
perform to your expectations.

The company was using a Panasonic legacy system for the past
30 years. After it was announced as discontinued, the company
realized it was time to migrate to a modern UC solution to connect
the distributed teams and optimize work efficiency.

Yeastar | TDM Upgrade Accelerate Kit 26


Solution
After a deep probe into the customer’s situation, FICEK ANNA, Yeastar’s certified distributor in Poland, successfully helped
the customer migrate from Panasonic to Yeastar P560 (Enterprise Plan).

At the very beginning, the customer operated Yeastar in parallel with the old Panasonic system for a month and gave it a
trial run. The flexibility, ease of use, and the broad range of features were the primary selling points to the customer after
experiencing Yeastar in person. Adopting the new Yeastar solution for a year, everything works like a charm and once again
proves to be the right decision made.

that CPA chooses Yeastar is its proven interoperability with any third party analog or VoIP systems. In this project,
Yeastar products interoperated well with analog trunks from Telecom Argentina Company, Fanvil IP Phones, speakers,

Solution

As a public institution, GAM was required to solicit proposals from multiple vendors. And Yeastar won the RFP on all
counts: functionality, ease of use, flexibility, and cost.

With the help of GTTCO, the Jordan-based Yeastar Distributor, a complete Yeastar UC solution of two P570 PBX (with
Enterprise Plan subscribed), four K2 IP-PBX, together with 134 Yeastar TA FXS Gateways were successfully deployed
to on GAM’s dispersed offices to build a connected communications network. Upon deployment, the organization’s 500
