Most networks weren’t built for AI. The question is: will yours keep pace with the surge in bandwidth, compute, and security demands, or fall behind? AI workloads push infrastructure further than traditional data center design ever anticipated, and the organizations that adapt fastest will gain a competitive edge.
In this article, we explore the key network considerations every business must address to prepare for an AI-driven future.

When you place a VoIP call or join a video meeting, the experience feels seamless—your voice and video just work. Behind the scenes, however, an invisible framework of computing models is orchestrating that experience, ensuring low latency, high reliability, and scalable performance.
Three of the most important concepts driving this evolution are cloud, edge, and fog computing. Each represents a distinct way of deploying compute power, and understanding their differences is key to building resilient VoIP and UC systems.
In this article, we demystify these models, explain how they shape the future of communications technologies, and show you where each one fits best in real-world deployments.

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.

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.

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.
