Introducing Voip Networks: Describe Cisco Voip Implementations

VoIP networks provide benefits like more efficient bandwidth usage, lower transmission costs, and improved employee productivity. Components include endpoints like IP phones and software phones, and voice network devices like gateways and call agents. Gateways use interfaces like FXS, FXO, E&M, BRI, T1, and E1 to connect to analog or digital equipment. A phone call has three stages - setup, maintenance, and teardown. Distributed call control means each gateway routes calls locally, while centralized control uses a call agent to route for multiple gateways.

Benefits of Packet
Telephony Networks
Benefits of Packet Telephony Networks

• More efficient use of bandwidth and equipment


• Lower transmission costs
• Consolidated network expenses
• Improved employee productivity through features provided by IP
telephony:
– IP phones are complete business communication devices
• Directory lookups and database applications (XML)
• Integration of telephony into any business application
– Software-based and wireless phones offer mobility.
• Access to new communications devices
(such as, PDAs and cable set-top boxes)

Summary

• Companies can benefit from a common infrastructure that serves voice and data.
Advantages of such converged networks include lower costs, more efficient use
of available bandwidth, and higher productivity.
• A packet telephony network consists of endpoints (such as IP phones, software
phones, and video endpoints) and voice network devices (such as gateways,
gatekeepers, conference bridges, call agents, and application servers).
• A voice gateway can use FXS, FXO, and E&M interfaces to connect to analog
equipment, such as phones, PBXs, or the PSTN.
• A voice gateway can use BRI, T1, and E1 interfaces to connect to digital
equipment, such as ISDN phones, PBXs, or the PSTN.
• A voice call consists of three stages: call setup, call maintenance, and call
teardown.
• With distributed call control, each gateway has local intelligence to route calls,
while with centralized call control, a call agent makes call routing decisions on
behalf of all the gateways that are controlled by the call agent.
