SECTION 1 VOICE OVER IP
Voice over IP (VoIP) is a technology that converts speech into data packets and transmits these
packets over TCP/IP networks. The technology also facilitates compression and silence suppression
to reduce network bandwidth demands.
As most organizations already have existing data networks in place, considerable cost savings can be
achieved by utilizing spare bandwidth on these networks for voice traffic.
NEC SL2100 supports the use of IP Phones. These telephones provide the same functionality as a
multiline telephone but use the data network rather then the traditional telecoms infrastructure. This
can reduce costs and allow the use of NEC SL2100 telephones in locations that would not normally be
supported by multiline telephones.
Table 2-1 Table 2-1 VoIP Specifications on page 2-1 lists the specifications for various aspects of
NEC SL2100 VoIP system.
