Convergent Networks Announces New Product Features that Cut Voice over IP (VoIP) Network Infrastructure Costs by 75%
Convergent Networks, the leading provider of broadband voice infrastructure for cable providers and telephone companies, today announced that its ICS2000 and Commando™ media gateways are now shipping with integrated Session Border Control (SBC) functionality, as well as a new feature that allows transcoding between different digital telephony standards. Telephone and cable companies use media gateways to provide Voice over IP (VoIP) phone service to their customers. SBCs allow VoIP communications to pass through Network Address Translation (NAT) firewalls, including those installed on virtually all consumer and business routers. Convergent is the first manufacturer to offer a media gateway with an integrated SBC. In the past, VoIP carriers had to purchase separate, expensive SBC hardware to enable their transmissions to traverse NAT. The cost of SBC hardware, per subscriber, has typically been three times the cost of media gateways. ...

Some web telephones can't reuse numbers
Kirsten Dixson was proud to be an early adopter when she signed up her career coaching business for Internet-based telephone service earlier this year.

Glitch-Free VoIP
Even though bandwidth testing reports that my baseline SBC Yahoo ADSL connection has 1.3 Mbps downstream (and, more importantly for purposes of this discussion, 300+ kbps upstream) speed, folks on the other end of the line still sometimes experience glitches when I'm talking to them over my BroadVoice VoIP line. Part of the problem is that BroadVoice employs the G.711 codec, which delivers pretty good quality but also consumes nearly 100 kbps of bandwidth. But in the absence of other LAN-to-WAN traffic, that wouldn't be a problem given the bandwidth capability of my upstream link....

The PBX Is Dead; Long Live VoIP
The private branch exchange (PBX) has been the reference standard for business telephone systems for decades, but of late, its age has been showing. While the computer industry has changed vastly, telephone systems until relatively recently have changed only superficially. They are expensive, proprietary, and often so arcane that only factory-authorized dealers have the remotest clue how to manage them. This, coupled with the emergence of open source Voice over IP (VoIP) technology, leaves PBX on the verge of obsolescence. In this article I'll look at Asterisk, a Linux-based open source softswitch, and why it heralds the end of PBX....
