VoIP Overview

IP networking is the backbone of the Internet and has become the common denominator for today’s communications, including voice and video. Today, more and more enterprises are fast replacing their legacy circuit-switched communication networks with scalable and easier-to-manage IP-based communications solutions. A study by Gartner Research concludes that enterprises adopting VoIP will discover that migration to IP telephony with advanced applications and business processes dramatically increases the value of the convergence. Despite the initial slow start, service providers are now fast adopting and integrating these new technologies with their existing legacy facilities and management systems.
