General Information
SECTION 1 UNIVERGE SV9100 IP NETWORKING
UNIVERGE SV9100 is an enterprise IP Telephony solution that allows businesses
and organizations to converge their voice and data network to secure the many
advantages of IP telephony, while enjoying the hundreds of features that they have
come to expect from the telephone systems.
SECTION 2 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.
UNIVERGE SV9100 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
UNIVERGE SV9100 telephones in locations that would not normally be supported by
multiline telephones.
UNIVERGE SV9100 can also use VoIP technologies to connect two or more
telephone systems together. This can eliminate inter-site call charges, and can also
simplify calling between sites (as desk-to-desk dialing is possible).
Table 1-1 VoIP Specifications lists the specifications for various aspects of
UNIVERGE SV9100 VoIP system.
