Vecta on Voice

Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) has the potential to reduce voice
telephony charges dramatically for many companies by
eliminating the need for a separate connection-oriented
voice service. Special
Internet Telephones connect directly into a company's LAN
or conventional telephones can be connected via an
adaptor to laptop or desktop computers. In both cases,
calls are made over the packet-switched Internet data
network.

| Today's
communications providers offer voice and data
services over wireline and wireless networks.
Voice networks, despite extensive deployment of
digital technology, still require a circuit to be
established and maintained during the call
between the call originator and receiver. This
circuit, on wireline systems at least, is capable
of much greater data transfer rates than are
needed for voice alone. Data networks use the
much more efficient packet switching to route
data. Converting voice to Internet Protocol at
the user terminal exploits this greater
efficiency and reduces cost. Companies can use Virtual
Private Networks to avoid international and other
long haul voice call charges. Those who still
have dedicated - owned or leased line - voice
networks should re-assess their economic
viability in the light of these developments.
Individuals and
small businesses can readily combine their
broadband connections and services from firms
like Skype to reduce their communications costs
significantly.

over IP will shift corporate long haul voice
telephony off expensive voice tariffs. In the
longer term, 3G handsets
will connect transparently to either in-office
systems that intercept local or intra-company
traffic or cellular base stations operated by the
wireless players. Already companies should ensure
that their networks are ready for IP Telephones
even if they cannot yet justify replacing their
digital PABXs. |
