TRUSTED BY

Hypercloud is Connection Technologies’ hosted VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone system. It replaces traditional landline phone systems with a cloud-based platform that delivers enterprise-grade calling features over your internet connection. No expensive hardware, no maintenance contracts, no physical PBX boxes — just smart, reliable business telephony that works from anywhere.

Whether your team is in the office, working from home, or on the road, Hypercloud keeps everyone connected through a single business phone system with one set of numbers.

How cloud-based telephony works

Cloud-based telephony routes your voice calls over the internet instead of traditional copper phone lines. Here is how it works in practice:

1. Your business phones (desk phones, mobile app, or laptop softphone) connect to our cloud platform via your internet connection
2. When someone calls your business number, the call is routed through our secure data centres
3. The call rings on whichever devices you have configured — desk phone, mobile, laptop, or all three simultaneously
4. All features (voicemail, call recording, auto-attendant) run in the cloud with no on-site equipment needed

The result is a phone system that is more flexible, more feature-rich, and typically 30-50% cheaper than a traditional landline setup.

Key features of Hypercloud

Hypercloud includes everything a modern business phone system needs:

Call management

• Auto-attendant — professional greeting that routes callers to the right department
• Call queuing — manage busy periods without losing callers
• Call recording — record calls for training, compliance, and quality assurance
• Voicemail to email — receive voicemails as audio files in your inbox
• Call forwarding and transfer — seamlessly move calls between team members

Flexibility

• Mobile app — make and receive business calls on your smartphone using your office number
• Softphone — turn any laptop into a business phone with our desktop app
• Hot desking — log into any desk phone with your profile and extensions
• Multi-site — connect multiple offices under one phone system with free inter-site calls

Analytics and integration

• Call analytics — real-time dashboards showing call volumes, wait times, and peak hours
• CRM integration — connect with Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and other platforms
• Microsoft Teams integration — use Hypercloud calling within your existing Teams environment
• Wallboards — display live call statistics for contact centre and sales teams

Hypercloud vs traditional landlines

With the UK landline network being switched off by 2027, every business will need to move to an internet-based phone system. Here is how Hypercloud compares to what you have now:

Cost:

• Traditional PBX: £3,000-£20,000 upfront hardware + £100-500/month maintenance
• Hypercloud: £0 upfront, from £8-15 per user per month, all-inclusive

Features:

• Traditional: basic calling, voicemail, limited hunt groups
• Hypercloud: 50+ features including call recording, analytics, mobile app, CRM integration, auto-attendant

Flexibility:

• Traditional: tied to one office location
• Hypercloud: work from anywhere — office, home, mobile, any internet connection

Scalability:

• Traditional: adding lines requires engineer visits and hardware changes
• Hypercloud: add or remove users in minutes through the admin portal

The 2027 landline switch-off: why this matters now

BT and other UK providers are switching off the traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) by 2027. This means all copper-based landlines will stop working. Every business in the UK needs to migrate to an internet-based phone solution before this deadline.

Waiting until the last minute risks disruption, higher costs, and limited support availability as demand surges. Businesses that switch now benefit from:

• More time to train staff on the new system
• Better deals and more installation slots available
• Immediate cost savings from lower monthly fees
• Access to modern features that improve productivity today

Internet phones for business: what you need

To run Hypercloud, you need:

Reliable internet: A stable broadband connection with at least 100Kbps per concurrent call. For most businesses, standard fibre broadband is more than sufficient. We can assess your current connection and recommend upgrades if needed.

Phones (optional): You can use dedicated VoIP desk phones, your existing mobile phones via our app, or laptop softphones. Many businesses use a combination.

That is it. No server room, no PBX hardware, no maintenance engineer visits. Everything runs in our secure UK data centres.

Yealink Desk Phones: Enterprise Hardware, Zero Hassle

Connection Technologies is an official Yealink partner. Every HyperCloud deployment includes access to the full Yealink range of IP desk phones, conference phones and headsets — pre-configured, tested and shipped directly to your team.

Why Yealink? They are the world’s largest manufacturer of SIP phones, trusted by millions of businesses globally. Their hardware is built for enterprise use but priced for SMEs.

Recommended Yealink Models for HyperCloud

All Yealink phones are auto-provisioned — plug them into your network and they connect to HyperCloud automatically. No manual configuration required. We handle firmware updates and security patches remotely.

HyperCloud Mobile App: Your Office Number, Everywhere

The HyperCloud mobile app turns your iPhone or Android smartphone into a full business phone. You can make and receive calls using your business number, access voicemail, view call history and transfer calls — all from your pocket.

Key mobile app features:

• Business caller ID — outbound calls show your office number, not your personal mobile
• Seamless handover — start a call on your desk phone, switch to mobile when you leave the office
• Push notifications — never miss a call even when the app is in the background
• Voicemail & call history — access your full business voicemail and call logs
• In-app directory — find and call any colleague with one tap

There is also a desktop softphone for Windows and Mac — ideal for remote workers and hot-deskers who prefer working from a laptop with a headset.

Built-In AI: Smarter Business Calling

HyperCloud includes AI-powered call intelligence as standard on all business plans — not as a paid add-on. Here is what you get:

AI Call Transcription

Every inbound and outbound call is automatically transcribed using advanced speech recognition. Transcripts are searchable, timestamped and speaker-labelled. You can search across thousands of calls for specific keywords, customer names or topics — invaluable for compliance, training and sales coaching.

Sentiment Analysis

HyperCloud’s AI automatically scores the emotional tone of every call. If a customer sounds frustrated or unhappy, the system flags it for manager review. Over time, sentiment trends reveal patterns across teams, products and time periods — helping you improve customer experience proactively.

AI Virtual Receptionist

Go beyond basic auto-attendant with AI-powered call routing. The virtual receptionist understands natural language requests — callers can say “I need to speak to someone about my invoice” instead of pressing numbers on a menu. Calls are routed intelligently based on context, not just button presses.

Smart Call Summaries

After every call, HyperCloud generates an automatic summary with key points, action items and follow-up recommendations. These summaries sync directly with your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics) so your sales and support teams always have complete, accurate records without manual note-taking.

HyperCloud Pricing

HyperCloud pricing is transparent, all-inclusive and designed for UK businesses of every size. There are no hidden fees, no per-minute call charges for UK calls, and no long-term contract lock-in.

All plans include free number porting, free setup and UK-based support. Desk phones are available from £55 per handset or can be included on a rental basis. No minimum contract — monthly rolling available.

Who Is HyperCloud For?

HyperCloud is designed for UK businesses that want enterprise-grade telephony without the complexity, cost or IT overhead of enterprise platforms. It is ideal for:

• Small businesses (1–20 users) — professional phone system with auto-attendant, mobile app and call recording from under £9/user/month. No IT team required — we manage everything.
• Growing SMEs (20–100 users) — scale up instantly as you hire. Add users in minutes, open new offices on the same system, and get the analytics and CRM integrations that drive growth.
• Multi-site businesses — connect all your locations under one phone system with free inter-site calls, centralised management and consistent customer experience.
• Remote and hybrid teams — your staff work from the office, home, client sites or on the road? HyperCloud treats every location equally with the same features and the same number.
• Businesses replacing legacy PBX — the PSTN is switching off in 2027. If you are still on traditional landlines or an ageing PBX, HyperCloud is the simplest, most cost-effective path forward.

If you are a smaller team looking at all your options, our small business phone system guide compares HyperCloud against every other UK provider for teams of 1–50 users.

How to Switch to HyperCloud

Migrating to HyperCloud is straightforward and typically takes 1–3 weeks from enquiry to go-live:

1. Free consultation — tell us about your business, team size, current setup and requirements. We recommend the right HyperCloud plan and Yealink hardware.
2. Number porting — we handle transferring your existing business phone numbers from your current provider. This takes 5–10 working days with zero downtime during the transition.
3. Hardware setup — if you are using Yealink desk phones, we pre-configure and ship them directly to your team. Plug in, power up, start calling.
4. Training — we train your team on the system, mobile app and admin portal. Most users are comfortable within 30 minutes.
5. Go live — your numbers switch over seamlessly. We monitor the transition and are available for any fine-tuning in the first few weeks.

HyperCloud works seamlessly from office, home or anywhere with an internet connection
