Routing is a vital part of network operations, and employing it correctly is of utmost importance for any enterprise network.

In the context of networking, routing is the process by which data packets are directed to their final destination as they travel from node to node.  There are many aspects of routing design that can affect general network traffic patterns and particular network services. UC and VoIP services can be adversely affected if routing design does not take into account their special characteristics.

This article examines various aspects of routing implementation to see how it can potentially affect real-time services. We also look at what specific design aspects you should consider to ensure the proper operation of such services.

When looking at telecom equipment or reviewing datasheets, you likely have noticed some cryptic symbols or acronyms followed by words like “certification” or “compliant.” But what do they actually mean?

Most people skim over these designations, preferring to focus only on the seemingly more important technical information. However, the truth is that these specifications are just as important as performance specs, protocol support, and device capabilities.

In this article, we look deeper at these certifications, what each one means, the organizations that define them, and why they are important aspects to consider when choosing telecom equipment.

Grandstream continues to reinforce its reputation for innovation in network infrastructure with the introduction of the GWN7710R, an outdoor managed switch. Grandstream designed this versatile device for challenging environments exposed to the elements, whichis ideal for a wide range of outdoor network installations.

In this article, we take a closer look at the features of the GWN7710R and explore some of its most common and more cutting-edge use cases.

Blockchain has garnered significant attention in recent years as a technology capable of securely recording sequential transactions and maintaining consistent information across multiple computer networks. While it is often associated with cryptocurrencies, blockchain's characteristics also offer substantial advantages to supply chain logistics.

When combined with telecommunications technology, blockchain becomes a highly valuable mechanism for managing increasingly complex global supply chain processes. In this article, we explore the application of blockchain technology in supply chains and how telecommunications enhances its effectiveness.

Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to dominate tech headlines, affecting many industries due to its incredible potential. Network infrastructure is one area where AI’s ever-improving technology has a significant impact.

In this article, we examine how AI-driven network infrastructure works to help you understand how AI and related tools influence network design, maintenance, and management. We also explore related principles specific to voice, video, and unified communications (UC), highlighting how AI-enabled infrastructure enhances these essential services.
