  1. VoIP Applications for the Small Business

  2. Agenda • Evolution of Communications • Digital vs VoIP • How VoIP works as a transport layer • What is “The Cloud”? • Common Applications • Advantages of VoIP • Misconceptions about VoIP

  3. Evolution of Communications Scream at your Neighbor IP PBX Phone Guy Gets Yelled at! 2 Cans and a String CPE PBX using IC Chips Central Office

  4. Digital vs VoIP • Digital -Like a Subway or a Train • Goes Point to Point • Lots of people in the same car! • Predetermined stops • Not Very Flexible • VoIP – Like a Taxi • Dynamic in direction • Single Occupant • Goes to one address • Very Flexible

  5. Telephone Systems • Telephones are directly connected to the system • Telephones - limited distance from the KSU • Telephones are dumb terminals • System Hardware controls the configuration size • Communications is most often proprietary • Use Pulse Code Modulation • Use Time Division Multiplexing

  6. Pulse Code Modulation • Encoder • Time Division Multiplexing is the distance between the samples • Voice Conversation is transmitted in 0’s and 1’s

  8. What is VoIP • Voice over Internet Protocol is the transmission of voice over a network – Not the Internet • Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model: • 7 = Application – processes applications • 6 = Presentation – data representation and encryption • 5 = Session – Inter-host communications • 4 = Transport – End to end connections and reliability (TCP) • 3 = Network – Path determination and logical addressing (IP) • 2 = Data Line – Physical Addressing (MAC addresses & LLC) • 1 = Physical – Medial, signal and binary transmission

  11. What is the Cloud? 66.210.10.1 127.107.7.1 62.203.3.1 64.201.100.4 66.166.1.4 62.2.200.4 65.25.2.2 61.200.2.3 65.16.200.5 168.68.2.6 66.210.10.2 127.107.7.2 127.107.7.3 66.166.1.12

  12. Common Applications • Remote Worker • Unmanaged Network – Latency and jitter • Bandwidth Limitations • Only need one static IP Address 192.168.100.1 67.28.190.127 WAN Internet 167.19.120.111 301 302 303

  13. Common Applications 192.168.1.120 • Remote Workers • Gateway Registration • WAN Port 192.168.100.1 125.105.90.201 67.28.190.127 Internet 167.19.120.111 112.47.99.98 192.168.22.199 301 302 303

  14. Common Applications • Creating a Voice Network • Unmanaged Network – Latency and jitter • Bandwidth Limitations • Only need one static IP Address Internet 67.28.190.127 122.24.50.13 301 302 303 301 302 303

  15. Common Applications • Adding to the Voice Network 192.168.22.110 192.168.22.111 192.168.11.110 192.168.11.111 WAN LAN LAN Internet 67.28.190.127 122.24.50.13 301 302 303 301 302 303

  16. Common Applications • Adding SIP trunks to the Voice Network 192.168.22.110 192.168.22.111 Internet 67.28.190.127 SIP Trunks 301 302 303 SIP Trunks

  17. Common Applications • Two locations 192.168.22.110 192.168.22.111 192.168.11.110 192.168.11.111 Internet 67.28.190.127 122.24.50.13 301 302 303 301 302 303 SIP Trunks

  18. Advantages to VoIP • Standards of Interconnectivity • Dynamic in Installation and Application • Unlimited in Size – Global Network • Remote workers • Relatively easy to create a “Voice Network” • Easy to do MAC Work • Single Cable Runs (Maybe) • Tree Topology

  21. Disadvantages of VoIP • Remains Expensive for the Small Business • Can be difficult to troubleshoot • Standards are still evolving • Quality of Voice over an Unmanaged Network • Lags on Call Processing Functionality • External Interfaces • Line appearances and buttons

  22. Misconceptions about VoIP • I am going to save Money! • No more paying long distance toll charges • When I use VoIP I only need one cable drop per office • Using Remote workers will save me money because I can use a smaller office The Answer to all VoIP Questions is… It Depends
