Although the current and next generation of network architectures fully deploy voice over IP links (IP Telephony), it is still a fairly complex task to get right. “Is my network ready to take on VoIP?” is the first question one should ask. To answer that question, Spescom DataFusion performs a Network Readiness Assessment.

The network readiness assessment can help determine how well VOIP will perform on your network, prior to deployment. To ensure a successful VOIP deployment, recommendations are made based on the findings of the assessment.

Spescom DataFusion has the knowledge and expertise to successfully deploy IP Telephony solutions.

Network Assessments are crucial to ensure the successful implementation of any IP solution. It comprises a full network assessment carried out by professionally qualified engineers using proprietary tools. The outcome of such an assessment is a detailed report on the current status of the network and suggested fixes for optimising the IP telephony solution.

What are the typical challenges? In essence, the same factors that affect application performance on the network will affect IP telephony/VoIP. If there are issues with a data network today, then those issues will multiply when voice traffic is added to the network.

Most networks today are deployed and optimised to ensure email, database, intranet and Internet applications work smoothly. IP Telephony requires a different level of optimisation to ensure voice traffic patterns are not impacted by bursts of high data traffic or by common multiple protocols in use across networks.

Spescom has considerable experience with regard to implementing voice solutions onto a network, especially IP solutions.
