As VoIP solutions developers make their mark in the network equipment arena, the established Tier 1 telecommunications equipment manufacturers (TEMs) are fighting back. From the traditional circuit switched legacy, we are used to ubiquitous dial tone and services availability. We happily (it’s all relative) paid the price for proprietary, monolithic equipment to ensure five, six, and even seven ‘nines’ availability. Such characteristics are demanded of VoIP equipment today and there is a convincing argument that there should be no compromise with VoIP products. Come along to this enjoyable, entertaining session to learn (from an insider) the key attributes needed when choosing voice boards to build your resilient, high availability VoIP solutions.

The high cost of customer acquisition is the biggest hurdle independent VoIP Service Providers such as Vonage or Packet 8 are facing against incremental VoIP offerings from Telcos and MSOs. The Phone-Ready PCs would come preconfigured with VoIP (hardware and software), allowing customers to simply plug-in their current phone (or fax) into the PC, and thus be ready to use. .The Phone-Ready PCs will enable easier deployment of Internet telephony services to consumers, as well as small to medium businesses (SMBs). This deployment will decrease the cost of subscriber acquisition and increase revenues across the value chain.
This session will look at the innovative silicon and software technologies as well as entire ecosystem and a viable business model for PC OEMs to start offering incremental voice services with pre-configured Broadband data service.
