<p>Do you work in an compact enviornment, such a a row of cublicles and find that the sound of your neighbors conversations are interrupting you from doing your job? Have you ever considered implementing a sound masking system?</p>
<p>Like light, sound is a wave and spreads out in all directions from a source. Hard surfaces reflect it, walls block it, and soft surfaces absorb it. Other sounds can cover it up. But unimpeded, sound can travel relatively far.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Interwest is now a certified partner for Speech Privacy Systems. They manufacture a product called the "Voice Arrest" system. This speech privacy system provides the highest quality of sound masking available on the market today. Check them out at <a href="http://www.speechprivacysystems.com/">http://www.speechprivacysystems.com/</a>, and give us a call to schedule a demo and evaluation.</p>
<p>Key Features:</p>
<li><em>Quieter Sound Masking</em> &ndash; More privacy per decibel.</li>
<li><em>More Targeted Sound Masking</em> &ndash; The VoiceArrest system targets human speech, making it much more efficient than above-ceiling systems with large speakers.</li>
<li><em>More Uniform Sound</em> &ndash; Sound Masking should be invisible, and that requires a very high level of uniformity &ndash; something that&rsquo;s much more difficult to achieve if the speakers are hidden in acoustically-challenging plenum spaces.</li>]]></content></entry><entry><title>SIP Trunk Advantage Training Video</title><category term="Broadvox"/><category term="Dialtone"/><category term="NEC SIP"/><category term="SIP"/><category term="SIP Trunking"/><category term="voice"/><id>http://www.interwestcorp.net/our-blog/2012/11/28/sip-trunk-advantage-training-video.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.interwestcorp.net/our-blog/2012/11/28/sip-trunk-advantage-training-video.html"/><author><name>Webmaster</name></author><published>2012-11-28T17:57:37Z</published><updated>2012-11-28T17:57:37Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="userContent">Take a look at this new video explaining the advantages of switching to Broadvox SIP trunks for you business.
