What every VoIP pro should know about BGP

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Jul 23, 2025 10:23:00 AM

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.

Why MPLS still matters for real-time communications

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Jun 11, 2025 10:11:00 AM

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.

How to connect your business phone system seamlessly with Teams

Posted by Daniel Noworatzky on Apr 30, 2025 10:30:00 AM

In today’s interconnected world, it is more important than ever to ensure that business communications devices are compatible with unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) platforms. According to IDC research, about half of all enterprise buyers prefer to work with a single UCaaS (unified communications-as-a-service) platform combined with easily integrated solutions like videoconferencing, contact center solutions, and collaboration applications.

In this article, we examine some of the devices and platforms that integrate well with Microsoft Teams, the industry leader in the UC&C space with more than 300 million users. The fact that businesses subscribed to Microsoft 365 Business already have Teams as a free add-on has helped propel Teams to the top of the UC&C heap.

TeleDynamics carries a wide range of Teams-compatible devices and solutions from a number of manufacturers. Here, we focus on four of our featured partners that have made significant investments in ensuring easy integration and hassle-free compatibility: Yealink, Yeastar, Grandstream, and Ribbon Communications.
