How Hubtel can help
IT support and hosted telephony for schools and academies
Schools and academies have embraced digital transformation in the education read moresetting not only in the curriculum but also in adopting best practise solutions usually found in the private sector.
Here at Hubtel IT, we specialise in IT support in Birmingham for local schools. Our services are tailored to meet the demanding needs of the education sector.
With the rise of academy status schools, unified communications and technology can provide collaboration cross-campus to streamline tasks that have previously been labour intensive. However, at Hubtel IT we do recognise that digital transformation does pose a security risk to schools and academies which is why we make sure cyber security is central when specifying hosted telephony and IT solutions. We would recommend Cyber Essentials to schools looking for a baseline measurement of their cyber security.
Hosted Telephony for cross-campus Collaboration
Schools and academies can reap many benefits from a hosted telephone system, especially cost-savings. A hosted telephone system is extremely cost-effective as one central system can serve unlimited schools, making this a superb solution for academies looking for scalability.
Robust Cyber Security
Schools and academies are among the growing sector of organisations seeing a rise in cyber crime and without resilient and robust cyber security, the safeguarding of students’ and staff’s personal data is compromised. Hubtel IT provides cyber security solutions such as Cyber Essentials accreditation, firewalls, antivirus protection, and real-time monitoring of end points to ensure critical data is safe and secure from cyber threats.
Ethernet Circuits
Reliable broadband is essential for schools and academies, with more and more learning being taught and sourced online. At Hubtel IT we provide dedicated broadband circuits that are exclusively yours, with failover technology behind them for added peace of mind. We also offer super fast fibre broadband, either direct to your local cabinet (FTTC) or direct to your premises (FTTP).

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve got lots of happy clients. Read our Google reviews to see what our clients say about us.
I’ve heard I can get broadband without having to pay line rental?
That’s right. As technology advances it’s now possible to get a broadband connection without the line rental element, which means you only pay for the broadband and not the line.
This type of broadband is called SoGEA and it’s important to remember that it’s a data connection only. So, you won’t be able to make telephone calls in the same way but it will still be possible once you’ve upgraded your hardware to the latest tech.
A more in-depth explanation about SoGEA can be found on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fF-RUvos4c and in our news article: http://hubtelit-co-uk.stackstaging.com/sogeabroadband/
How do I move my telephone system from ISDN to the Cloud?
If your existing telephone system is still relatively new then it’s likely that it will be compatible with Cloud based technology. In that case, we simply port your existing telephone numbers into the Cloud and program your hardware to adapt.
Older telephone systems will need to be replaced before moving to the Cloud. Given the long term efficiencies of Cloud based telephony, replacing your system sooner rather than later needn’t be a barrier to switching.

What makes a good password?
Passwords should never contact personal information or be so predictable they can be guessed. Good passwords are at least 14 character long and contain a mix of lowercase, uppercase and punctuation. Stay away from single words and opt for phrases instead.
Cyber security should be at the heart of your IT set up and your password is your first line of defence against hackers. Don’t be tempted to go for something just because it’s easy to remember – cyber crime is not going away.
How often should I replace my computer?
General rule of thumb is every 4 years, but that is subject to your usage and specification of the computer to start with.
Businesses who are hardware heavy should consider a Rolling Replacement Plan so that the cost and installations can be managed efficiently.
Is it possible to take work calls from my mobile phone?
All current telephone systems are compatible with a system-specific app that, once downloaded to your mobile phone, will enable your mobile to function as if it was your office desk phone.
