Voice over IP, or VoIP as it is commonly called, is one of the most important developments of recent times. In VoIP, phone calls are made using the medium of the Internet. The process is quite similar to the way we send and receive emails. However, the voice data is converted into digital data packets, compressed, and then routed over the Internet.

Business solutions that are based on this facilitating technology therefore can reduce the telecommunication costs of organizations quite significantly. As a matter of fact, businesses are increasingly switching to VoIP and high-end solutions in this domain to enhance their profit margins in the context of an increasingly competitive market scenario.

The exorbitant costs of making long distance calls using the traditional phone systems are now a thing of the past. Businesses-especially the smaller ones-are reaping in significant savings in their infrastructural costs by making the right switch to business VoIP solutions.

The VoIP business solutions that are currently available are tailor-made to cater to the needs and requirements of business establishments. With features such as 3-way conferencing, unified email access, voice mail and comprehensive messaging options, the solutions are turning out to be perfect in different circumstances. ISPs for instance, are making the most of these high-end solutions and networking systems to bring in more efficiency within their organizational structures. The ISPs can source these solutions from quite a few ISP solution providers servicing this market segment. As a matter of fact, the ISPs can make the most of the highly volatile and competitive market conditions and benefit from some amazing deals and offers.

The infrastructural requirements while using these solutions are also very minimum. The providers ensure that the organizations making a switch to VoIP are able to do so with the least possible changes in other areas. These solutions are easy to implement and integrate-a fact that makes them all the more valuable.

However, all said and done, the onus rests on the service providers to assess their individual requirements before making a final decision on any one of the multitude of ISP solution providers that are available. They can also compare the costs at which these services are being offered; and accordingly make a decision that optimizes their profits subject to their budgetary and other constraints.

With one such solution in place, half the work of the Internet service providers are already done. They have to just follow the guidelines and enjoy the multitude of benefits that VoIP entails. With round-the-clock technical assistance, there is little more that a business user could wish for.

Moreover, the providers of Internet Telephony solutions for ISPs ensure the latest and the best features and that too at highly competitive prices. Special features such as voice mail, call conferencing, and call waiting, for instance, are very much required by service providers and business users wanting to maintain a clear channel of communication with their end users and customers. It can be said that the business ISP solutions offer new doors of communication, wherein business users are able to facilitate quite a lot of their business needs in a more thorough and comprehensive manner.

Ever wonder just what the heck was an "OC48"? Not surprisingly many network engineers and IT managers aren't up to speed (no pun intended) on just what OC really means...and what all is available to enahnce their company's applications within this bandwidth category.

So....here's a quick run down to set you straight.

The OC (optical carrier...fiber optic based broadband network )hierarchy goes as follows, starting with a T3/DS3 electrical carrier and then on to an OC-1:

DS3 (Electrical) = 44.736mbits/sec = 28 T1s/DS1s

STS1 (Electrical) = (1) DS3 @ 44.736mbits/sec with SONET (Synchronous Optical NET) overhead = 51.840mbits/sec

OC-1 (Optical) = (1) STS1 on Optical facilities

OC-3 = (3) OC-1s = 155.52mbits/sec

OC-9 = (9) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 466.56mbits/sec

OC-12 = (12) OC-1s or (4) OC-3s = 622.08mbits/sec

OC-18 = (18) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 933.12mbits/sec

OC-24 = (24) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 1.244gbits/sec

OC-36 = (36) OC-1s (not commonly used) = 1.866gbits/sec

OC-48 = (48) OC-1s or (4) OC-12s or (16) OC-3s = 2.488gbits/sec

OC-192= (192) OC-1s or (4) OC-48s or (16) OC-12s or (64) OC-3s = 9.953gbits/sec

The reason for the stair-stepping of the OC Hierarchy is due to the fact that the next available level of multiplexing ('muxing") of lower-level circuits is usually 4: (4) OC-3s = (1) OC-12, and (4) OC-48s = (1) OC-192.

This muxing scheme is usually dictated by the equipment manufacturers and is pretty much an adopted standard in the Telecom industry - hence the lack of the lesser-common bandwidth aggregations like OC-9, OC-18, etc. The only exception is the OC-3, which was needed to allow the upper-level hierarchy to work.

Hope this tidbit of info helps the network design decisions for your business now....and in the future!
