Benefits of Enterprise VoIP Networking:
Savings
The existing multi-site data network will be used for connecting local and remote branches over the data network. The VoIP Gateway is used to access the IP network, allowing long-distance and international calls at significantly reduced rates. The cost of leased telephony lines can be reduced and with the converged voice/data network, surplus bandwidth may be exploited by telephone calls instead of data usage.
Increased Productivity
Subscribers can take advantage of the VoIP network from home or on the road by calling the nearest branch from their residential VoIP gateway or via the local PSTN or trunk-based media gateway. The call will be routed via the VoIP network, dramatically improving productivity at little or no extra cost.
Increased Availability & Enhanced Features
VoIP combined with the PSTN offers a reliable alternative to pure legacy PSTN, allowing communications even during a local disaster. For added reliability the media gateway will also serve as a PSTN gateway, offering alternative routing via the PSTN in case of IP network failure or degradation.
Reliability (Routing and Fallback)
If connectivity is degraded or lost with the IP network, the Mediant 1000 and the MediaPack will automatically continue to route calls via the PSTN using the Phone to IP Routing function until the IP connectivity is restored. The Mediant 1000 and the MediaPack can function completely independently of a Softswitch and both support "lifeline" switching. In case of power or network failure, they will switch calls to the PSTN/TDM interface seamlessly.
