All companies, whatever the size, are faced sooner or later with the need to have economical access to international voice communications and high-speed access to the Internet in order to develop their business. This White Paper examines how telcos can respond to this market need by providing Combined Voice and Internet services to business users on a large scale. However, today, only ISDN technology can provide the high level of features and quality in voice services taken for granted by users. Such a bandwidth is enough to cover both voice and data traffic for many companies and therefore operators can provide combined services over a single access line. This results in lower cost and will spur rising demand for added-value services.
New telcos can therefore respond to new market needs with very competitive offers.
To do this, telcos require Voice and Internet access solutions available today and based on circuit-switched technologies. When rolling out ISDN dial-up access solutions, several cases may be encountered. The enterprise is connected over PRI and no BRI ports are available. The enterprise is to be connected directly to your infrastructure over a PRI or Fractional PRI link but its PABX is currently a BRI installation. Mixing ISDN and Permanent Channels ISDN relies on the same technology that is used for high-speed leased line delivery.
