tem) and a data network. In contrast, IP telephony allows making phone calls
using the existing data network infrastructure (LAN/Ethernet/Internet). Quality of
speech and required bandwidth when making IP phone calls is similar to using an
ISDN connection.
Advantages of IP Telephony
• Only requires one network infrastructure (LAN/Ethernet/Internet), which is
already in place.
• Relatively simple and inexpensive implementation; maintenance by exist-
ing IT staff; not much additional knowledge required.
• Inexpensive phone calls when calling fixed-line or mobile (cell) phones,
especially when making long-distance calls; free calls when calling other IP
phones on the LAN or the Internet.
• Common standard worldwide (SIP).
Supported Standards
MOBOTIX already supports all common telephone technologies and has
implemented the SIP standard, the most important IP telephony protocol.
MOBOTIX cameras support video telephony and video conferencing, e.g. when
using instant messaging applications (Microsoft Messenger, etc.), softphones
(XLite/Eyebeam, WenGo, etc.) and video phones.
