When to Use OM vs. OS Fiber
Consider these points:
- OS can accommodate more than one communication signal at longer distances compared to OM.
- OS transmits thousands of communication signals over several miles. This extended distance enables protection through isolation. If lightning strikes one end, the charge does not transmit down the line.
- In the past, OM was the choice for shorter-reach applications like data centers or enterprise-level networks. For these applications, clients typically avoided OS because the necessary network connectors (modules found in the switches) were expensive. Today, prices are lower, making OS a viable consideration.
- OM1 and OM2 are not recommended for new installations, only Moves/Adds/Changes (MAC) to existing installations.

The Trouble with Poor Cabling Installation
Why use a qualified cabling contractor like Advanced Global Communications? The risks are too great for any organization devoted to safety, performance and professionalism. You potentially risk injury (leading to death or major injury from falling off a ladder), legal ramifications and reflecting carelessness or poor decisions.
Qualified contractors understand local codes and ordinances pertaining to which type of cabling is supposed to go where. For example, in most cases installing PVC-jacketed cabling in a building’s return air-handling spaces, known as plenum, is prohibited. When burned or exposed to extreme heat, PVC emits toxins and harmful particulates. This poisonous mix is dangerous to anyone nearby or those responding to an emergency.
Failure to comply could mean severe fines, a lifetime of reputational damage or ripping out existing cabling for replacement with compliant lines. Better to have peace of mind by contacting a qualified contractor.

Avoid Cabling Conflicts
Labor represents the bulk of data-cabling costs. Therefore, when scheduling all the work involved in your construction project, it’s best to add data cabling from the outset, along with painting, drywall and other trades. This enables effective management of labor (both time and costs) and enables us to design a network that makes the most sense for your building.
Real-life conflicts we have seen
For example, what happens if our teams arrive (as asked) as the floor is being installed or was finished several hours ago? We may not have permission to work on newly installed flooring for another 24 hours. Or, it’s impossible to be on ladders while flooring is underway. Poor timing or communication means cost overruns and inefficiencies.
Data-center location is important to network designs. Ideally, it should be placed in an area that enables shorter cable runs to reduce costs. If we become involved midway through construction or some later phase, this may be impossible. We could be forced to locate your data closet/room/center in an area that does not enable greatest efficiencies.

Stress Less with Cordless
Are you constantly on the move at work? Examples are busy stores, carry-out counters, warehouses and factory floors. People often juggle internal or outside calls or serve customers in person. You may even hear shouting as the pace intensifies. Before you know it, everyone is out of rhythm due to missed calls, long hold times or overall poor management of calls.
Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Advanced Global Communications knows the right telephone system can mean the difference between a good day versus one everybody would rather forget. We understand modern handsets, unified communications and monthly plans. We discover ways to customize them to achieve efficient, productive workplaces based on employee roles, what your callers want and other conditions. Our teams may even lower your monthly telephone costs by 50% to 70%.
Click this link: telephone system handsets. Our lineup of Yealink models is a big factor in making these custom solutions a reality.
Yeah Me, Yeah Cordless!
One model that can be especially beneficial to insanely busy places is the Yealink SIP W60P Premium Wireless DECT IP Phone. DECT is an industry term that means Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. This phone is ideal for employees who leave their workstations frequently to juggle tasks. The phone’s Li-ion battery affords 30 hours talk time and 400 hours standby time and is equipped with quick-charge technology.
Why SIP is Super Cool
As a cloud-hosted solution, the Yealink cordless set uses SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) signals only to communicate. Therefore, it will not operate over a traditional analog or POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line as well as the analog station port of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX). If connected to an analog/POTS line, the incoming 49 volts would damage the phone when it rings.
“Our cordless model is yet another SIP option to unleash employee productivity despite challenging environments.”
Advanced Global Communications Team
Designed to address the evolving needs of Internet Protocol (IP) communications, SIP is discrete technology within the family of Voice over Internet Protocols (VoIP). SIP enables user sessions that involve multimedia — voice, video, messaging, etc. — in addition to maintaining and ending each session. These experiences happen in real time between two or more endpoints over IP networks using an Internet connection.
Looking at the broader implications, SIP opens whole new dimensions of communication, collaboration and “getting it done” in today’s fast-paced era — including your demanding workplace. SIP can benefit organizations with numerous branches or remote workers who rely on multimedia communications. Our cordless solution is yet another SIP model to unleash employee productivity despite challenging environments.
Stronger Hardware, Greater Scalabilities
Now looking at our cordless set option, the Yealink W60B base features an upgraded chip for enhanced capabilities such as support for up to eight handset units, eight SIP accounts and eight concurrent voice calls. This powerful device allows for greater scalability for your voice collaboration.
Compact and Aesthetically Pleasing
The W60B base fits nicely in any office, whether on a desk or mounted on the wall. With a recessed power-cord slot, the W60B is small and sleek — like a work of art. The base integrates naturally into your work environment without adding clutter.
