The change of technology for the systems of BEYER in 2002/2003 promted us to think about our achievements of the past and the challenges in the future. Did we follow the right path and will future technologies fulfil our requirements? Will end users be able to implement our technologies?

It begun so easily. BEYERs vision. The stereotype sound chip in the telecommunications systems (PBXs) should be replaced by real music.

1985 we developed the first devices with analogue tape streamer and named them . The first customer was Heinz Nixdorf. Soon, we recognised that analogue control was unusable for the telephone on-hold loop and so, the was changed to digital controller within the same year.
1986/1987 the following companies decided a co-operation with WOLFGANG BEYER KG in a fast sequence: Siemens, Telenorma, SEL, Hagenuk and Rheinelectra. The musical on-hold loop had become acceptable.
1988 the Deutsche Bundespost ordered the first unit for testing – with great success. From this time on, our product range is installed on the various PABX of Deutsche Telekom under the brand ROBOTEL.
1989 we introduced our first for the function 'first message' (announcement before answering) for relieving the switchboards. Simultaneously, the brand became registered trademark. In the course of the years, solutions became known all over the world. BEYERs new customers in this year became Ericsson, Northern Telecom and DeTeWe.
1990 the first devices for self-recording came on the market.
The following years stand for continuous development of high-quality technologies and permanent enlargement of regular customers. Our main attention was always delivery according to schedule, generous service and detailed training.
1992 Patent on devices for soft music-announcement fade in. First for self-recording from CD.
1994 the first in Liliput-design for connection to PHILIPS-PBXs octopus 180 i and M 26 and integrated modules for the SIEMENS Hicom 100 E systems.
1996 to 1999 the drawing logo became a brand symbol. Different registered designs and patents for professional devices for music on-hold and messages.
