VOIP & IP Telephony
Research, case studies and best practice into VOIP and IP telephony.
Rapid Increase in VoIP Subscribers
The penetration of broadband internet has rapidly grown in recent years and this has given a boost to VoIP business across all nations in Asia. The 2008-2009 report on global VoIP industry shows that China is now the most active country for VoIP business.

How many IT departments and office workers have wrestled with unpredictable performance of VPN links across the Internet? How many times has the solution been to 'buy more bandwidth' (and spend more money) on the network?
According to Gerard Neiditsch, Mallesons' Executive Director Business Integration & Technology, the catalyst for the firm's VoIP deployment was, initially, replacing legacy PABX's in Australia.
Most Recent VOIP & IP Telephony
LG-Nortel’s Chris Karagiannis outlines the key IP issues for SMEs: including the importance of building converged platforms on a properly provisioned LAN, with an easy upgrade path.
At what point is the Australian SME market at in relation to pure IP Telephony? How close are we to the converged ‘nirvana’ where Voice, IP services and IP Telephony can be effectively bundled?

What leads organizations to adopt VoIP or unified communications, and what business benefits actually accrue as a result?
Although vendors are keen to push the functionality of IP telephony and unified communications, potential cost savings are still apparently an important trigger for organizations making the switch from conventional telephony.

Introduction
As voice and data networks continue to converge, it has become widely accepted that Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) will replace existing Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTN) and become the primary means for real-time voice-based communications. The move to full IP-based infrastructure has been more gradual than initially anticipated, due in large part to concerns surrounding the reliability and quality of service of VoIP applications. Users reasonably assume that replacement technologies will minimally be able to meet quality of service standards set by the existing PSTN.

Implementing Voice and Video over IP for iPhones and Smartphones
Introduction
The Apple iPhone promised to create a whole new end-user experience for multimedia mobile communications—and it has. In particular, the recent release of the iPhone 3G has created a groundswell of interest in applications for mobile voice and video over IP. However, mobile networks, which introduce delay and packet loss, as well as devices with limited CPU and are prone to high levels of acoustic echo, present challenges to developing high quality VoIP and video applications to even seasoned media processing experts.

Unified Communications Merges With IP Telephony In 2007
by Elizabeth Herrell with Simon Yates and Christine E. Atwood
Executive Summary
IP communications has evolved from a replacement technology for business telephone systems into unified communication (UC) applications that improve worker productivity and reduce business delays in reaching key decision-makers. With renewed emphasis on business benefits for acquiring UC, IT managers can further justify investments in IP communications based on savings from simplifying the management of their communication applications and the ability to connect to others quickly regardless of device or location.
