Since the earliest days of VoIP when the term ‘IP telephony’ was commonly used to describe the new age method of making voice calls, there has been discussion of convergence. That is, between the old ways of providing business telephony services (telephone switches, PBX systems and copper twisted-pair to the desk), and the new approach where voice could be provided as ‘just another service’ on the corporate LAN.
VoIP had humble beginnings where it was seen as a way to get free calls, but with no expectation that the quality would be good or could be controlled. However, it has now come of age and can compete head-to-head with the PSTN and even surpass it in quality terms (with HD voice technology). The barriers to adoption have been coming down for VoIP, and Aculab systems are in place across a whole range of industry sectors supporting both TDM and IP-based traffic.
An example of just how IP-based applications can be rolled out to integrate with an existing TDM infrastructure can be found in a new Aculab case study from a UK city council. Continue Reading...

It is set to be an exciting event for us, as we are previewing our new cloud-based platform, Aculab Cloud. This is the brainchild of our CEO, Alan Pound, and he is speaking on two occasions on this topic. Make sure not to miss those sessions, or a chance to gain first hand knowledge of the Aculab Cloud offering at our booth.
My colleague, Ian Colville, is taking the key product manager role this time around.
