Real-time traffic (voice and video) demands a network that delivers low latency, low packet loss and low jitter. And that?s not easy to accomplish. The dynamic character of modern networks, and the growing requirement for highly distributed configurations can lead to errors in design or implementation that cause quality problems for voice and video apps. And so, a new breed of testing methodologies and tools is required to test or monitor converged networks and ...

April 2009-
Fixed mobile convergence is coming, but different implementations are being proposed. Some combine Wi-Fi and cellular and transparently hand off calls between the two environments, while others depend solely on cellular service. Most implementations have employed servers that are under the control of the enterprise, but some cellular carriers are introducing network-based FMC services. In the current economic environment, any investment is subject to close scrutiny, but an FMC deployment has the potential to pay ...

In the first generation of IP Telephony, the “voice” and “data” folks had to figure out new ways of working together to send voice over the “data” network. With Unified Communications, many more stakeholders become involved: Applications developers, datacenter managers, staff in charge of directories and e-mail, just to name a few. In this presentation, Delphi’s Gary Audin addresses concerns for those facing the organizational challenges of both IPT and UC, including: When and ...
