VoIP for business is coming. Its not ready for full blown international and national operation at the same quality as current telephone systems, but with the arrival of the next generation telecoms infrastructure for the UK, It will become a feasible way forward.
At present there are some good reasons to install VoIP into buildings with the correct internal infrastructure, but with PBX facilities to convert back to ISDN for calls into the STD network.
There can be big benefits for using VoIP but it has to be executed and completed properly.
Selecting the right telecoms supplier is central to SMEs implementing this new technology.
VoIP is not just “telephony as usual”. It has great potential for integrated delivery of IP applications.
