voip networks

Setting up voip networks takes care and attention.  Your IT manager is critical in defining how the voip networks should be designed.  They will know the answers to the following questions that have to be asked before considering VoIP for your office:  Are the routers and switches in the networks Layer 3 or 4 compliant?  Is the QOS feature in all active devices switched on? Has a LAN-WAN audit been performed recently that records all the elements of the network(s) and identifies any potential bottlenecks for data?

The reason for these queries is that voip does introduce additional constant traffic onto your current infrastructure.  If your ERP, CRM and email applications are already taking up a high capacity then adding voip networks won’t impress the Finance and Sales Processing staff if their computer screens slow down.

Telephone Systems Direct specialise in advising our customers on the pros and cons of voip networks.  They are right for some organisations but not necessary for many.  The typical use for voip networks with our clients has been in connecting home worker extensions and linking small offices together via existing broadband circuits.  These voip networks still have TDM call distribution at the ends of the voip networks and operate satisfactorily.
