Voice
over IP delivers cost savings and new applications
It is well documented that properly implemented
VoIP solutions can deliver significant cost savings
for enterprises. While the initial costs may be
substantial, IP Telephony solutions are cheaper
to maintain and to operate in the long run than
traditional implementations relying on analog or
switched digital phone service. The long-distance
savings alone can be significant.
Toll bypass is not enough - VOIP applications create
competitive advantage for many organizations. VoIP
allows for the creation of new types of powerful
applications. Enterprises increasingly turn to Voice
over IP technology because of applications such
as unified messaging, IP conferencing or virtual
call center implementations with remote agents.
And this is where we come in. SoftComm provides
the tools and solutions that let you make the most
of Voice over IP. Our flagship telephony product
solution, VOIX, provides you with the flexibility
in customizing the whole system based on your needs,
at minimum costs.
SIP
¨C VoIP, Converged Telecom Made Easy
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is becoming
a strong catalytic force that is shaping today¡¯s
telecom industry, quickly gaining ground in the
Voice over IP world.
Used both in the enterprise and carrier spaces,
SIP¡¯s main purpose is set up and tear down sessions.
Due to its roots in standard Internet protocols
and architecture, SIP is more efficient in initiating
and terminating connections than other protocols.
SIP¡¯s strengths include simplicity and synergy
with other standard IP protocols such as HTTP,
DNS, RTP, and SDP. SIP enables developers to interact
with telephony resources the same way they interact
with Internet resources, thereby greatly expanding
the access of the web developer community to computer
telephony.
Why
You Should Consider SIP
¡¤ SIP is a request-response protocol that represents
a modular approach to IP telephony, free from
underlying protocols or architectural constraints
¡¤ SIP is enabling the Next Generation Network
(based on modular CO (Central Office) architecture
¡¤ SIP can be used as the integration technology
behind modular telephony architecture
¡¤ Can be readily integrated in various architectures
and deployment scenarios
¡¤ Easily scalable and extensible. For example,
Presence and Instant Messaging (IM) have been
created through SIP extensions
¡¤ Software-based, open and lightweight, allowing
organizations of all types to support the new
breed of SIP phones along with soft phones, analog
phones, desktop PCs, and mobile devices and PDAs
¡¤ Quickly gaining attention and visibility due
to major technology supporters, including Microsoft
(SIP is the framework behind Microsoft¡¯s Messenger)
¡¤ Widely regarded as the successor to H.323 for
IP-based telephony
