That means that your company's communication network is greatly simplified, saving you money on equipment, personnel and changes. nexogy provides features and capabilities beyond what is available with traditional separate voice and data networks. nexogy is robust enough to allow you the ability to manage call through the web, have your voice mail forwarded to email, use selective forwarding or find me/follow me so important calls are never missed or to set up notification by email, cell or pager to alert you when someone has left a message.
The amount of bandwidth you need is determined by your voice and Internet needs. LDT offers Business DSL, T-1, NxT1 and T-3 access to accommodate your traffic.
Yes. You can start with analog phones and LDT will provide you with port adapters on the Integrated Access Device (IAD). As your desk phones need replacement, simply replace them with an appropriated IP handset (available from various manufacturers) to get even more user-friendly features from your system.
A small amount of signaling bandwidth is used to establish a session between the two extensions. Once a session has been established between the two extensions, no further bandwidth is needed on your T-1.
A computer or software is not required to use your phone. However, users may access their phone features through a web portal, using their current web browser. The web portal allows users to personalize calling features and manage calls without the need to remember cumbersome flash and star enabled codes. Also, we can provide a SoftPhone that emulates your Cisco IP Phone functionality for even more portability.
In most cases, there will be no downtime. In most cases, we can install our equipment parallel to your existing equipment while porting your phone numbers (DIDs). (If you are not porting existing numbers, this is not an issue.) There may be a brief interruption of existing LDT Internet service while LDT installs the Integrated Access Device (IAD).

Taxes may differ by state and/or municipality. Additionally, the
type of service being provided can also affect the amount of tax
on your bill.
State Communications Services Tax
State Communications Services Tax is levied on all long distance
calls and local service as well as some services and features that
can vary by your state. For Florida, this combined tax includes a
state sales tax rate of 6.8% plus a gross receipts tax rate of 2.37%,
for a combined state communications services tax rate of 9.17%.
State Tax on Equipment
Equipment that has either been purchased or leased is subject to state
sales tax. The current Florida rate is 6% plus any additional
discretionary surtax which varies by county.
Local Communications Services Tax
Local governments collect tax from product purchases and from
telecommunication service use, which may include equipment,
installation, maintenance as well as local and long distance service.
Each local taxing jurisdiction may levy its own local tax rate on
communications services. While the state and gross receipts tax rates
stay fairly constant, local tax rates can change frequently.
Gross Receipts Tax
Gross Receipts Tax is a tax on total revenue and must be paid by
telephone companies. Pursuant to Chapter 203, Florida Statutes,
a tax is imposed on gross receipts from utility services that are
delivered to retail customers in Florida. As mentioned above, for
Florida customers the gross receipts tax is integrated into the State
Communications Services Tax.
Universal Service Fees
Certain telecommunication services are subject to a Universal
Service Fund (USF) Fee. This rate is established by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and the proceeds are used to
support telecommunication services to low income families,
local schools, libraries and health care providers in your community.
This rate is variable and typically changes quarterly. The USF applies
to state-to-state and international calls and is also assessed on
local service in the form of a per line charge. Recently, the FCC
has subjected bundled VoIP services to USF charges.
