Lighting is no longer just about illumination; it’s becoming an intelligent part of the network. As smart building technologies gain traction, Power over Ethernet (PoE) is emerging as a key enabler, extending far beyond its original role of powering network gear. One of the most exciting frontiers? PoE lighting.

In this article, we explore how PoE lighting can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure, and how resellers and system integrators can tap into this growing trend to expand their offerings, add value for clients, and stay ahead of the curve. We also take a look at what’s next for PoE as it powers a new era of low-voltage innovation.

As the deployment of business unified communications (UC) and VoIP systems continues to grow, the need for a more comprehensive management approach is evident. Administration, troubleshooting, and provisioning such systems are becoming increasingly complex, and a holistic management approach is vital.

Yealink provides two complete solutions for streamlining device management, each with its own focus and utility. In this article, we examine both solutions and describe the benefits they offer businesses of all types and sizes that leverage Yealink VoIP and UC systems.

A device management system can vastly simplify complex telecom and communications installations. However, the ease and quality of installation and management offered by such systems are highly dependent on their design. The Grandstream Device Management System (GDMS) is a great choice for VoIP and IP telephony systems, offering robust provisioning and management capabilities with intelligent automation. It provides a streamlined solution that strikes the perfect balance between control and simplicity.

In this article, we showcase Grandstream’s GDMS and explore why it is essential for any network composed of Grandstream IP phones and IP PBXs.

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. If you’re a managed service provider (MSP) or internet telephony service provider (ITSP), teaming up with Yeastar is a smart move in this market climate, so you can take advantage of current trends, attract more business clients, and boost recurring revenue.

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.
