Mobile Unified Communications: Delivering on the Promise of FMC Seamless Mobility
This whitepaper explores the value of merging unified communications (UC) with fixed mobile convergence (FMC) and examines various deployment scenarios. The paper subsequently highlights the need for a universal mobile unified communications client for mobile terminals such as single-mode Wi-Fi phones and dual-mode Wi-Fi/Cellular phones. Finally an overview of the key features and architecture of the mCUE� universal mobile UC client from D2 Technologies is reviewed.
SIP Trunking Benefits and Best Practices
Back in the days of wireline telephony, when all phone calls went over the PSTN, businesses would purchase �trunks� � a dedicated line or a bundle of circuits � from their service provider. Today, we have adapted the concept of �trunking� to the IP-enabled landscape resulting in lower telephony costs and rapid return on investment (ROI) plus the opportunity for enhanced communications both within the enterprise and with vendors, customers and partners.
A SIP trunk is a service offered by an ITSP to use SIP to set up communications between an enterprise PBX and the ITSP. A trunk includes multiple voice sessions � as many as the enterprise needs. While some see SIP as just voice, SIP trunking can also serve as the starting point for the entire breadth of realtime communications possible with the protocol, including Instant Messaging, presence applications, whiteboarding and application sharing.
The potential for a rapid return on investment is a key driver of SIP trunk deployments. However, maximum return on investment can be achieved when you extend VoIP outside of the corporate LAN. In terms of infrastructure purchases, SIP trunks provide an immediate cost-savings. They eliminate the need to purchase costly BRIs, PRIs or PSTN gateways.
The productivity benefits with SIP and SIP trunking are also significant. By extending the SIP capabilities of the corporate network outside the LAN, satellite offices, remote workers and even customers can use VoIP and other forms of realtime communications applications to break down barriers of geography to share ideas and increase productivity.
