TeleDynamics Think Tank

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) often comprises a substantial portion of the budget for many businesses, a large part of which goes to paying the wages of support staff. Larger enterprises may need to employ a full-time, in-house team of professionals to support all their ICT services and assets, including VoIP communications systems.

However, smaller businesses have limited budgets and few ICT-related tasks to justify a full-time or even a part-time ICT position. It’s more difficult for these firms to support their communications systems without wasting valuable and often scarce resources.

In this article, we hope to provide you with insight on how to design the best support structure for your VoIP communications services without overextending your budget.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), a collection of technologies enabling voice communications over IP networks, has come a long way since its first commercial application over 20 years ago. It has successfully overcome its many obstacles, developing into a robust, reliable and extremely flexible communications solution. You would be hard-pressed to find any new business telephone system installed within the past couple of years based on technology other than VoIP.

In a previous article, we saw how reliable the technology has become. In this article, we look at the factors to consider when choosing VoIP services, especially services delivered within a UCaaS framework. This will help you choose the best provider for your particular business needs.

In the past, VoIP was considered a low-quality, undependable voice service delivered over an unreliable internet connection. Since then, the technology has improved dramatically, as have the methods and connections used to deliver it. VoIP now enjoys the same levels of availability and robustness as traditional telephony did at its peak.

Even so, the stigma of low quality and low dependability has followed VoIP to this day. In this article, we attempt to understand why this is the case and provide a realistic picture of the phenomenal reliability that VoIP can achieve today.

This year, Grandstream celebrates its 20-year anniversary. Since its founding two decades ago, Grandstream has grown to become one of the largest Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), videoconferencing, networking and facility management solutions providers in the world, delivering a wide range of products and services.

In this article, we look at the history of this pioneering company, its key product offerings and what to expect in the near future and beyond.

Telecommunications is a fast-paced field that changes constantly. It is more than a full-time job just keeping up with all of the emerging innovations that affect this industry. One of the fascinating aspects of this evolution is the fact that telecom relies heavily on companion technologies, emerging practices, and new methodologies that enable novel applications with seemingly science-fictionesque capabilities and functionality.

In this article, we talk about some of the most important technologies and methodologies that are changing the telecom landscape and which are expected to continue to do so in the coming years.

Smart cities use multiple technologies to resolve some of the most complex challenges facing today’s cities. When implemented well, these technologies can truly make a difference in the lives of city dwellers.

In this article, we examine the various technologies involved – including VoIP – and how they can work together to bring about these desirable results.

A while back we took a look at IoT as an emerging trend and concept, and we saw how it related to VoIP technologies. That was almost four years ago, which is an eternity when it comes to the rate at which technological trends in telecommunications evolve. Many of the fundamentals are still valid, but given the explosive growth in IoT, .we thought it time for an update on some of the more recent developments in the field.
