An Industry Accepted Approach to Direct IP Peering for IP PBX and VOIP
by SIP Forum
As enterprises and service providers migrate services to VoIP, a new demand has emerged for IP peering, or an end-to-end VoIP connection, between enterprises and services providers. Today’s Voice over IP (VoIP) communications systems offer customers a wealth of advanced features, as well as the ability to easily add new capabilities as requirements change and evolve. IP PBXs in particular have gained strong traction in the marketplace, and by most accounts IP PBX deployments have now overtaken traditional TDM-based PBX deployments. Moreover, service providers are rapidly evolving their networks using VoIP technology to improve efficiency and deploy new services. |
Critical Steps for Successful VoIP Deployment
Among the top ten steps for successful VoIP deployment are these three initial steps: 1.Identify the potential benefits of migration to VoIP 2.Determine the optimal IP PBX system design (IP enabled, converged, or client server), for the system configuration requirement. 3.Perform an audit of the current LAN/WAN infrastructure to assess design weaknesses that would degrade real time voice communication. |
How VOIP works
by FCC
Internet Voice, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is a technology that allows you to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (or analog) phone line. Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number - including local, long distance, mobile, and international numbers. Also, while some services only work over your computer or a special VoIP phone, other services allow you to use a traditional phone through an adapter. |
Improve VoIP management with these best practices
by TechRepublic
A successful voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) deployment requires careful consideration of and adequate planning for the system's long-term management requirements. Your deployment and integration plans must identify the methods and technologies through which you will monitor, support, and maintain reliability across the VoIP network. Voice traffic is considerably more sensitive to network conditions than normal data traffic and your management plans account for this fact. |

The Business Benefits of SIP
by AT&T
More and more people are talking about Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), with most references being made in the context of Voice over IP (VoIP). The implication is that SIP and VoIP are related, even one and the same. This latter perception is extremely limiting, for although there is a relationship between SIP and VoIP, SIP transcends VoIP. SIP is becoming a unifying force for the next generation of business communications, |
