Integrating Voice and Data networks
IP Network infrastructures, which already
exist in the majority of companies, can now
carry voice along with data. Designed to
support Convergence via modular structure,
the Hybrid IP-PBX systems allow a
harmonious migration towards VoIP,
allowing voice and data communication to
work within the same network.
Voice-over Internet Protocol
(VoIP)
VoIP is the latest proven technology for voice
communications where packets of digitally
compressed voice are sent over IP data networks,
which gets converted back to voice once it reaches
the destination. By leveraging existing data networks,
VoIP can bypass PSTN and therefore avoid all costs
associated with PSTN calls no matter how far the
distance and how long the conversation. In addition,
VoIP also allows for more advanced telephony
solutions and applications.
VoIP is an ideal solution for site-to-site
communications between multi-site offices and retail
chains - as well as for networking branch office and
remote office employees, small office/home office
(SOHO) workers, and home sales personnel, allowing
for flexible working environment and lowering cost.
