17 August 2011, Whatever it is let's keep it that way...

We are nearing the middle of this financial year and it has to be said that the lack of media coverage of the so-called 'recession' is proving to be making a difference. We have noticed a considerable rise in new telephone system installations and the NEC SV8100 is proving to be a fantastic solution for any type of business. With contact centre solutions, call management packages, desktop management suites and presence making it hard to beat! With the introduction of the SL1100 we are now able to offer a medium to large business solution to our smaller customers. So far this year we have increased our customer base for both maintenance and new installations in Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Sheffield, Birmigham, London and now moving across to East Anglia! We have also noticed an increase in customers wanting the 'complete package', as we can offer a total building solution using our Technology Team which includes CCTV, Access Control, Structured Cabling and Fibre Solutions. Imagine that - one point of contact for all your technology needs and management!

20 August 2010, Website Access Issues

We would like to apologise to any customers who experienced issues accessing our website from Thursday 12th August to Monday 16th August. This was due to an issue with the server our website is hosted on - service is now restored and we are monitoring the situation and the 'issue' is being investigated further.

11 August 2010, Supporting the Air Ambulance....

At Principal Communications Uk, charity is close to our hearts. We have over the years supported both local and national charities and community projects. The Air Ambulance Service is a charity and receives no funding from the government. Therefore to show our support and appreciation for their hard work, this year we will be donating a percentage of our profits to our counties Air Ambulance.

29 December 2009, End of Year update

We have had a very busy and innovative year. Through our associations with Island Telecom Group, P&O have now adopted our server solutions and we have this year rolled out 3 InteGrate servers (Fire Notification) and 2 wake up servers across their fleet. We have installed many new NEC solutions throughout the UK and supported many customers all over the world. We have completed many cabling projects for both our customers and other dealer/resellers and although CAT6 is greatly talked about, we are still seeing many requests for CAT5e. All our installations carry our 5 year guarantee! We thank all of our customers for their business and look forward to working with you in 2010.

31 January 2009, Bridging the gap between technology

We are proud and excited to announce the release of a new application, which has been designed, built and developed by ourselves. The product, called integrate and its feature rich bigger brother called integrate plus were the brainchild of senior engineer Steve Henstock. This idea came about after ITG approached us to integrate a fire detection system with an NEC Philips telephone system. The protocol offered by the fire detection system was not compatible with the PABX interface so Steve called on his vast years of experience to develop a solution to interface between the two systems, and with the help of our developer it's here!

integrate in its standard form takes messages from the fire system (or indeed any type of detection/security system) and converts them into telephone calls to notify key staff or members of the public that an incident has been detected and advises them via messages as to the correct action to take.

integrate plus takes this a little further and can email key staff and send text messages for DECT phones to speed up the reaction time.

The possibilities of this product are endless and we are working with several clients to develop it further to meet the extraordinary needs that were once impossible. More information and screenshots to follow......
