| VoIP is big business today. Everybody is
talking about it, but is everyone doing it? When most people
hear the term VoIP they think free phone calls over the
internet. While that is possible, there is not much use for
Internet phone calls in the business world.
In a professional environment call quality
(QoS) is important.
The Internet has a very high latency rate and is not
designed for real-time transmission. So what is all the
noise about?
Where to use VoIP
If your company has remote offices that are connected via
a corporate WAN, like an IP gateway, you could benefit
greatly from VOIP. Since you are paying for a full time
connection for data, now you can use that same
"pipe" to make calls too. The savings really add
up if your remote office is international. Also remote
users, such as sales or marketing people may benefit from
VoIP too.
Still, you must evaluate the up-front cost of going over
a packet switched network with the ever falling costs of
long distance over a voice switched network. If you spend
over $800 per month on long distance several carriers offers
rates as low as 3 cents per minute.
Should you decide to use VOIP TeleVantage can easily meet
the challenge by adding VOIP to the PBX server. With
TeleVantage you do not need new $400 IP phones, nor do you
need to tax your LAN infrastructure. Just install the boards
and licenses, then make a call.
