Why IP Makes the Picture Complete Wider network availability More favorable economics Better end-user experience New compelling applications
14
Transition From ISDN to IP Lower operating costs Fixed monthly charges Higher video quality Higher call reliability Converged applications Innovative service provider offerings NAT issues Firewall issues QoS in the wide area Bandwidth in the local loop Integrity of mission critical data network DriversInhibitors
15
Better End-user Experience….. Less call latency!! Higher call completion rates Accepted call completion rates over ISDN - ~85% Call completion rates over IP can exceed 99% on a well designed network Faster connect times No need to bond ISDN-lines over IP Better quality video Over IP, users can take advantage of available bandwidth to achieve broadcast quality video
16
New Compelling Applications This is what will ultimately drive the market Early stages – but the possibilities are exciting Central theme – adding video as a feature to other products and services Some examples High-quality PC-based endpoints Integration with IP-PBXs Integration with PC-based IM Integration with audio and web conferencing services Video conferencing over 3G cellular networks
