VoIP phone systems, broadband, managed IT and CCTV for businesses across Ballymena and mid-Antrim
Ballymena is the commercial heart of mid-Antrim, a town with deep roots in manufacturing, agriculture and retail that continues to evolve as a modern business centre. As the largest town in the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council area, Ballymena serves as a regional hub for thousands of businesses, from family-run farms and independent shops to major employers in engineering and food production. Drakos Systems delivers enterprise-grade communications and IT solutions to businesses of all sizes across the Ballymena area.
The town's strong manufacturing heritage means many local businesses rely on robust, dependable communications to coordinate operations across multiple sites, manage supply chains and stay connected with customers. Our VoIP phone systems replace outdated landlines with modern, feature-rich communications that include call routing, voicemail-to-email, conference calling and mobile integration, all at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems.
Ballymena's economy is remarkably diverse. The town centre is home to a thriving retail sector anchored by the Fairhill Shopping Centre and Tower Centre, alongside independent businesses that give the high street its character. Professional services firms, accountants, solicitors and estate agents all need reliable phone systems and fast internet to serve their clients effectively.
The agricultural sector remains a cornerstone of the mid-Antrim economy. Farms, agricultural suppliers, livestock markets and food processing businesses across the Ballymena area face unique communications challenges, particularly around broadband connectivity in rural locations. Our business broadband solutions include options specifically designed for rural businesses, from bonded connections to 4G and 5G router solutions that deliver reliable internet where traditional fibre cannot reach.
Ballymena's industrial estates, including Woodside Road and Pennybridge, house a concentration of manufacturing, distribution and trade businesses. These operations need communications systems that can handle high call volumes, connect warehouse and office staff, and integrate with existing business software. Our solutions are designed to scale with your business, whether you have five employees or five hundred.
Connectivity across the Ballymena area varies significantly. While the town centre benefits from good fibre coverage, businesses in surrounding villages and rural areas often struggle with slow or unreliable internet. We work with multiple network providers to find the best available connection for every location, and where fixed-line options fall short, we deploy alternative solutions that keep your business connected.
For businesses that depend on uninterrupted internet access, we provide failover broadband solutions that automatically switch to a backup connection if your primary line goes down. This is particularly valuable for businesses running cloud-based software, VoIP phone systems or online payment processing where even a brief outage can mean lost revenue.
Protecting business premises is a priority for companies across the Ballymena area. Our CCTV and surveillance systems provide high-definition monitoring with remote access, allowing business owners to view live footage and recordings from their phone or computer. Whether you need cameras for a single retail unit, a farm outbuilding or a multi-building industrial site, we design and install systems tailored to your requirements.
Our managed IT services provide ongoing technology support and cybersecurity protection for Ballymena businesses. With cyber threats increasing year on year, having professional IT management is no longer a luxury reserved for large corporations. Our managed service plans give small and medium businesses access to enterprise-level security, monitoring and support at an affordable monthly cost.
Many Ballymena businesses are surprised at how affordable modern VoIP phone systems are. The cost of VoIP installation has dropped significantly, and the ongoing savings compared to traditional phone lines are substantial. Businesses choosing the right VoIP system typically save 40-60% on their monthly phone bills while gaining features that were previously only available to large enterprises.
