Telephony Solution
Free
Long Distance
uses
the Internet or your private network for long distance voice and
fax
communications and saves thousands of dollars monthly. Instead of
paying your long distance carrier to route long distance calls between
offices, any IP data network can route the calls using a technology
called Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) or Internet Telephony.
It doesn't matter if you are using the Internet, a private Intranet,
ISDN, DSL, frame relay, leased line, wireless or satellite for your
data communications network, as long as it uses the Internet Protocol
(IP).
If
you make frequent long distance calls to a remote site, you already
know the charges can add up quickly. is
here to help you maximize the investments you've already made in
your data and telecommunications network infrastructure by bridging
them together to provide toll-free communications.
is
available in analog and digital models ranging from one to 60 ports
and can connect directly to phones, fax machines, key systems, PSTN
lines, or a PBX to provide real-time, toll-quality voice connections
to any office on your VOIP network.
For
Avaya™ Communication Manager environments, extends
the call features of a centralized Avaya media server and provides
local office survivability to small branch offices of up to 15 users
using analog or IP phones.
What
is VOIP?
VOIP
lets you make toll-free long distance voice and fax calls over existing
IP data networks instead of the public switched telephone network
(PSTN). Today businesses that implement their own VOIP solution
can dramatically cut long distance costs between two or more locations.
That
Was Then...
For
the past 100 years people have relied on the PSTN for voice communication.
During a call between two locations, the line is dedicated to the
two parties that are using it. No other information can travel over
the line, although there is often plenty of bandwidth available.
Later,
as data communications emerged, companies paid for separate data
lines so their computers could share information, while voice and
fax communications were still handled by the PSTN.
This
Is Now...
Today,
with the rapid adoption of IP, we now have a far reaching, low-cost
transport mechanism that can support both voice and data. A VOIP
solution integrates seamlessly into the data network and operates
alongside existing PBXs, or other phone equipment, to simply extend
voice capabilities to remote locations. The voice traffic essentially
ˇ§rides for freeˇ¨ on top of the data network using the IP infrastructure
and hardware already in place.
