When you make a VoIP call or join a UC meeting, you click the “call” or “join” button, and everything just works! You seamlessly communicate with your remote employees, partners, and customers. It seems like magic, but behind the scenes, a vital technology is making all this possible: the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

BGP is the de facto routing protocol that governs and enables data to traverse the worldwide web. For VoIP and UC professionals, understanding BGP matters because it directly affects how voice, video, and messaging traffic reaches its destination. This is true for all communications taking place over the internet, such as that between users, SIP trunk providers, or cloud-based UC and VoIP platforms.

In this article, we look behind the scenes to see what BGP is, how it directs traffic across multiple networks and ISPs worldwide, and how its operation directly affects reliability and service availability for real-time applications.

The unified communications as a service (UCaaS) market is booming as its customer base expands at an unprecedented rate, thanks to growing service feature sets.

In this article, we examine Yeastar’s UCaaS offerings for a wide range of service providers and showcase the benefits of a partnership with the company in this area.

Are your customers demanding faster, more reliable Wi-Fi in their small offices or to support their distributed workers spread across different satellite branches? You’re not alone. Hybrid work continues to be a significant part of SMB workplace culture, making the ability to provide enterprise-grade wireless performance on a tight budget fundamentally important.

Having the right Wi-Fi 6 router can make or break a deployment. In this review, we take a close look at the GWN7062E and the GWN7062ET, two of Grandstream’s affordable dual-band Wi-Fi 6 routers that aim to strike a balance among performance, security, and ease of deployment.

As AI continues to dominate the headlines, discussions abound about the infrastructure needed to support it, putting data centers at the heart of the conversation. Facilities of all types are drawing attention, not only for their enormous scale and the exorbitant power and resources they consume, but also for their promising potential for a wide range of services and applications.

It is vital for anyone involved with data center deployment to understand what drives data center design for AI. In this article, we dig deeper into data centers for AI and examine a particularly interesting real-world scenario that will help shed light on these emerging patterns.

Modern enterprise networks are becoming increasingly complex, posing significant challenges in terms of scalability and segmentation. This is seen especially within traditional layer 2 architectures. To address these limitations, technologies like Virtual eXtensible LAN (VXLAN) have emerged, offering a scalable and flexible solution to extend layer 2 networks over layer 3 infrastructure.

As VoIP and UC technologies continue to leverage virtualized and cloud infrastructures, understanding technologies like VXLAN becomes essential for those deploying such applications. In this article, we examine what VXLAN is and how it can help enable modern VoIP and UC deployments.

Yealink, a global leader in Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C), participated in InfoComm 2025, held from June 11 to June 13 in Orlando, Florida. Under the theme “Innovate Workspaces with AI,” Yealink unveiled a range of next-generation intelligent solutions at its booth, demonstrating how artificial intelligence is transforming collaboration in professional environments.

In this article, we review the key innovations that Yealink presented at InfoComm this year, which are coming soon to TeleDynamics!

As more businesses shift to cloud-based communications and remote workforces become the norm, ensuring consistent performance across dispersed sites has become a top priority for telecom and UC providers. For installers and resellers tasked with deploying reliable real-time communications services like VoIP and UC, the choice of underlying network transport can make or break performance.

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is not new, but it continues to play a critical role in meeting the low latency, high reliability, and QoS demands of these modern deployments. In this article, we examine the performance of MPLS in supporting real-time communications and why it remains a go-to solution for interconnecting geographically distributed infrastructure.

Wireless networking has become faster, better, and more efficient with the introduction of Grandstream’s new Wi-Fi 7-certified wireless access point (WAP). The new GWN7670 WAP is making cutting-edge wireless technologies more accessible to SMBs in a wide range of verticals, enabling them to leverage some of the most demanding network applications over the wireless medium.

In this article, we review this new device and highlight some of its most noteworthy characteristics and features.

Managing dozens – or hundreds – of PBX deployments can be streamlined, efficient, and even effortless with the right tools. Yeastar Central Management (YCM) gives telecom resellers, IT service providers, and system integrators a smarter way to provision, monitor, and maintain customer installations from a single interface. It is ideal for large enterprises with a broad deployment of Yeastar products, as well as resellers and managed service providers seeking to streamline the administration of their customers’ communications installations.
