Voice over IP (VoIP)

The term “Voice over IP” describes the usage of IP-based data networks for

telephony. It is possible to distinguish between two different types of VoIP:

■

Telephony via Internet provides cheaper charge-models for telephone services.

For telephony directly via the Internet, only the cost of data transmission is

incurred. Various Gateway providers can provide crossover into the PSTN

(“Public Switched Telephone Network”) for a fee. As well as standardised pro-

tocols such as SIP and H.323, proprietary protocols such as the Skype network,

are used. Voice and service quality via Internet is often indeterminable,

because you are dependent on the communication lines of various service pro-

viders. which have been optimised for data communication

■

Telephony via Intranet enables joint usage of existing infrastructure for

telephony and for data communication. Integrating the two communication

networks into a single communications network can provide considerable

savings. The OpenCom X320 gives users all the features of system telephony

through its use of an IP-based protocol. Furthermore, the standardised SIP pro-

tocol can also be used on the intranet. The control of the data connections

used makes it possible to define exactly the voice and service quality.

VoIP telephony over the Internet using the OpenCom X320 provides you with the

following options (see also

SIP Telephony

starting on page 103):

■

You can use low-cost “SIP trunk lines” with your existing Internet connection

■

You can use the services of a SIP gateway service provider to access the public

telephone network (PSTN)

■

Automatic fallback (bundle overflow) to ISDN connections in case of the

breakdown or over-occupancy of the SIP connection

VoIP Telephony via intranet with the OpenCom X320 offers the following possibil-

ities:

■

Use of IP-based system telephones and of SIP telephones connected to Cat5

twisted-pair ethernet cables

■

Use of IP-based system telephones and of SIP telephones via VPN, RAS, Branch

or WLAN connections
