Full Story »The Multi-Faceted IAD
May 6, 2009IADs are most thought of when we need to attach a TDM PBX or Key System to a VoIP/SIP Service. They range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending upon the connectivity required and desired features. The most basic functionality needed is to accept an IP or Ethernet connection and convert it into something that the PBX or Key system understands, T1, PRI, FXS, and FXO. Additional capabilities would include QoS, multi-codec support, SIP, MGCP, and H.323 protocols. (I apologize in advance for not having the time to go through each one of the aforementioned protocols.
Vidalia Onions, Summer and Edge Devices
May 4, 2009The weather has been very unusual in Dallas this year. The rain has been unrelenting and we have yet to have a hot spell. This gets into the psyche of some people, not me, but some people. Anyway, my wife asked for a fun meal to eat.
By the Byte or the End of the Buffet
May 1, 2009Wednesday I was running short on time and could not finish the description of the proposed changes to bandwidth utilization pricing. At its core, it is simply a way for the cable companies to increase prices for access to higher speed bandwidth. However, the result may be to push America even further down the list of countries that have broad bandwidth coverage and up the list for the price of our bandwidth. Many others and I believe we need to approach the deployment of broadband with the same strategic intent as we did the interstate highway system. The country will benefit for years to come if deployment is pervasive and its use ubiquitous.
SIP Trunking is Fun!
April 29, 2009Did I catch your attention? Do you agree? Well the cable companies and even Dallas's own Mark Cuban don't agree. Perhaps, I am overstating their position but the result of restricting the amount of data that is transmitted during a given period is an attack of VoIP/SIP Trunking.
Apples and Oranges (SIP Trunking)
April 27, 2009
Food was both good and bad this weekend. We finally dined out this weekend. On a lark, we decided to try a new restaurant in the area. The restaurant was a remarkable sight. It was beautifully built with interesting artwork throughout.
SIP...It's the RAGE Part II or Who's Buying?
April 24, 2009Always an interesting question. What we know is that no vertical market is superseding another in the adoption of VoIP/SIP. Analysts in particular look for some type of vertical trend. They find it difficult to believe that a given industry is not more focused on the transition than another is. I find it rather simple to explain.
SIP is the RAGE
April 22, 2009Over the weekend, I received an email from a VAR with the tag line "SIP is the RAGE".
Wow!
Additionally, he had read my blog. (Sometimes as I type these up, I think the only people reading this are my immediate family and co-workers.
A Mouthful: Grilled Butterflied Chicken, CTO, CIO and FCC
April 20, 2009Okay so the weekend was kind of a repeat of Easter, a little bit of rain and a little cool. Perhaps, then it was okay that I repeated my first dish of the year. My wife asked for Crab Cakes on Friday. Since, I blogged that dish some weeks ago, I looked it up and followed my own recipe.
Wash the FUD out of Your Mouth
April 17, 2009So what dramatic thing did I do?
I looked at the audience and exclaimed, "Bull____!"
Okay, I was braver then and there were no children in the audience. But it worked.
FUD and TAG
April 15, 2009Perhaps you are wondering what got me going on this whole FUD thing and IP Communications. I was recently on a panel at the Technology Assurance Group National Convention. This is an exceptional organizational consisting of 120+ major VARs and dealers. The purpose of the panel was to impress upon the group the urgency to begin understanding and selling SIP Trunking solutions.
