VoIP - IP Telephony White Papers

VoIP — the Access Dimension

Overview For a given voice quality, VoIP does not offer a particularly efficient transport solution. This becomes a concern in any bandwidth-constrained part of a network, in particular, a copper-based, access network. VoIP access systems need to be carefully designed if they are to offer an acceptable combination of quality and efficiency. This paper identifies and quantifies the various issues which need to be addressed in undertaking such a design, and suggests possible solutions. The challenges of distributing VoIP within the customer premises are also addressed, with specific and different solutions being proposed for the business and residential environments.

Call centres lag behind on IP adoption

The transport mechanism is not really a selling point because people are happy enough with the quality of the telephony network. So, asks Anthony Plewes, why have they resisted the temptations of VoIP?
