Next Generation NetworksCommunication systems have changed dramatically in the past several years. IP Communication systems are vital to the efficiency of remote teams, mobile sales and field forces, collaborative work, managing multi-site environments cost effectively, and to the development of valued-added services for your customers.

VoIPVoice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) or simply IP telephony is the new hot technology for transmitting speech across data networks like Local Area Networks (LANs). Over the years closed networks, such as LANs, have experienced an almost constant increase of clients and network traffic which sets higher requirements of the existing network infrastructure.

IP PBXThe Internet Protocol Private Branch eXchange (IP PBX) is a server that has the same functionalities as the TDM PBX used in the traditional telephone network, such as call control, call signaling, authenticating registrations and authorizing callers.

PBX world goes IPFollowing a slower start than many predicted, IP-based enterprise telephony is gaining ground fast. Significant inroads have already been made and dramatic growth is expected over the next few years. Enterprises are demanding IP telephony based on its perceived cost savings and future-proof architecture, coupled with the fact that new multimedia services and applications are easier to implement and manage in a converged infrastructure.

ConvergenceConverged Architecture is generally viewed as the enabler of business-class IP-telephony and access to applications where and when they are needed, over a scalable and distributed architecture based on a standard operating system and infrastructure. A converged infrastructure enables integration of core business applications with communication systems, yielding substantial cost savings in communication charges and maintenance.

MobilityToday’s competitive business environment has meant that many organizations put increased emphasis on controlling and reducing costs of operation. At the same time enterprises realize that a competitive edge is gained not only by cutting back on and controlling costs but are also looking for new ways of improving business. Top business priorities are to improve service to existing customers, to secure customer satisfaction and revenues but also to generate new business. Other highly rated topics on today’s CIOs and communications managers’ agendas are to improve and make business processes and internal communication more efficient.

WirelessWith a wireless solution employees are no longer tied (wired) to a desk or machine, but are free to move around and optimize working procedures. Idle staff can help out colleagues and still be accessible.

Wireless SecurityAs with other networks, security for Wireless focuses on access control and privacy. Robust Wireless access control, also called authentication, prevents unauthorized users from communicating through access points. Strong Wireless access control measures help ensure that legitimate client stations associate only with trusted access points rather than rogue or unauthorized access points.

WLANA worldwide revolution is occurring in business. Wi-Fi enabled notebook computers are proliferating and driving the adoption of enterprise wireless LANs (WLANs). Unlike past technology advancements that were driven by technology professionals, the explosion of enterprise WLANs is being driven by mobile users, traveling executives, wireless applications, and advanced services like voice over IP (VoIP) over Wi-Fi. The acceleration of enterprise adoption of WLAN technology is radically transforming business operations, the network edge, data centers, and centralized IT control.
