Implementing VoIP - Important Equipment Considerations

Written by: Curtis S. Burnside, CCNA, CIW - Oct 6, 2008

Suffice it to say that almost all quality service providers can deliver the required network access component and managed customer premise equipment (CPE) to allow most businesses to utilize their existing telephone equipment. Unfortunately this many times includes digital to analog conversion which if done often enough within the network provides for decreased efficiency and voice clarity.

What many business owners don't realize are the tremendous advantages surrounding utilizing a fully managed or hosted PBX service. From disaster recovery and redirecting calls on-the-fly to allowing for rapid deployment of remote workers or the ability for traveling workers to take their phone with them, this option should be looked at by any business considering VoIP.

In the long run, as with any business decision it is always best to consult a professional. Especially if professional services can be had with no additional cost and will result in the most cost-effective and best in class solution being implemented.
