From reel to reel recording systems to digital call recording – ComputerTel charts its 25 year timeline

Report this content

A telecommunications company celebrating 25 years in business has charted its milestones alongside World events since 1988 – offering people a real trip down memory lane.

ComputerTel started business in 1988, maintaining reel to reel recording systems for banking and finance companies in London’s Square Mile. Says Phil Haynes, Managing Director and founder at the company: “These reel to reel machines were state of the art audio recording equipment, taking up a huge amount of space yet having, by today’s standard, very limited storage.

“Within 6 short years, ComputerTel was selling the World’s first 64 channel digital voice recorder. This saved businesses lots of physical space as well as offering more storage capacity.

“When you look at the size and capabilities of telecommunications equipment now, it is truly mind blowing. We are very excited to see what the next 25 years’ worth of technology in the business brings!”

Mr. Haynes adds: “Our visual timeline shows how far technology has come in such a relatively short space of time, as well as reminding us of some of the World’s important events during this time. When ComputerTel was established, Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, Robin Beck was number one in the pop charts with ‘First Time’ and text messaging hadn’t yet been used on mobile phones!”
