BNUG: BOSTON NETWORK USERS GROUP ------------------------------------ OCTOBER MONTHLY MEETING
VOICE OVER I.P. (VoIP) NETWORKS THE TECHNOLOGY OF INTERNET TELEPHONY
Join BNUG on Tuesday October 12 as we discuss the state-of-the-art Voice over IP (VoIP) technologies and practices. Our discussion will begin with a brief overview of the current state of telephony, then cover network transformation, concentrating on the latest technology available to enable Voice over IP. We'll cover technical considerations when implementing VoIP solutions, including transport protocols supporting VoIP today, data network preparedness, and voice quality considerations. The session will wrap up with a Q-and-A session and live demonstrations of VoIP using Nortel Networks VoIP equipment.
Whether you're new to this VoIP thing and want to learn what it's all about, or you're an experienced VoIPer, you'll find this meeting informative, exciting, and very useful. VoIP is here to stay; come learn about and see for yourself the state of the industry.
