VOIP Convergence


Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

VoIP technology has been popular for several years, and can deliver significant cost and technological benefits.

StartWrite will advise you on whether the time is right to introduce VoIP, and how best to deal with the implementation stage. We can make recommendations on important technical issues, such as;


  • Whether to go to layer 2 or be satisfied with public routing...
  • If constant-bit-rate DataStream is really necessary...
  • If the LLU footprint is sufficient for your needs...
  • Can QOS or COS be delivered effectively over the internet?
  • Is there a guaranteed SLA with MOS testing specified?

In cases where VoIP is appropriate;

  • Costs are reduced. i.e. leased line pricing is usually halved, and internet capacity doubled.
  • Flexibility is increased. Even if you move area your number can move with you.
  • UK direct dial numbers can be delivered anywhere in the world.
  • Voice and internet services are frequently delivered over the same DSL lines.

StartWrite will review your business drivers and the potential costs and benefits of VoIP to give you honest and impartial advice about whether or not to proceed.
