Voice over IP (VoIP)
With developments in IP networking
in general and the Internet in particular, the ability
to transmit voice calls which have been traditionally
handled by the public switched telephone network (PSTN)
over a lower cost IP infrastructure has become a reality.
More and more users are researching VoIP capability when
purchasing a connection to the Internet or simply expanding
their private intranet. VoIP based telephony has also
provided a very cost-effective solution for companies
that have locations in many disparate regions and require
connectivity back to their headquarters.

Managed Gateway VoIP
All calls to and from the remote location
are handled through a professionally staffed third party
call center, which has multiple redundant connections
to the Internet and the PSTN. This company terminates
each of your VoIP phone call to the switched public telephone
network for a monthly cost. Managed Gateway service is
very desirable for first responder agencies and others
who operate in an area where due to a force of nature
or man made event, traditional telephone service may not
be available.
Managed Gateway VoIP service requires
a FXS port VoIP station gateway at the remote location.
Toll free 800 numbers are available
at an additional charge.
Point-to-point VoIP
This requires a customer controlled
fixed HQ location with non-satellite broadband internet
access and access to the PSTN (public switched telephone
network). This can be a PBX, phone system, fax line, or
any type of dialtone that is available. The equipment
is available with ports to interface into either FXO or
FXS ports. One VoIP appliance is placed at the fixed HQ
location and the other box is placed at the remote (satellite)
site. A standard analog phone or phones are used at the
remote end. When the handset is of the phone at the remote
site is lifted, you hear dialtone from HQ. When making
calls, it is as if you are at HQ. When receiving calls,
they can be 3 digit PBX extentions, DID phone numbers,
or analog POTS phone numbers.
There is no cost per month and no
cost per minute to use this solution, although there is
a $350 setup cost for Point-to-point VoIP configuration.
Point-to-point VoIP service requires
a FXS port VoIP station gateway at the remote location
and a FXO port VoIP station gateway at the host (Corp
